Luoji Mountain is a rare and well-preserved Quaternary ancient glacier natural museum in China's known mountainous areas. The ancient glacial landforms, such as tinder, edge ridge, winding valley, ice bucket, glacial depression, moraine lake, ice ridge, ice step, glacier slip surface, glacier gap, rock back, Pangu, ice sheet rock mountain and lateral moraine, have high tourism, exploration and scientific research value. Among them, the glacial moraine lake is the most spectacular, and the glacial moraine lake in Luojishan Mountain is distributed in various ice enclosures and buckets above 3650 meters above sea level. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 50 large and small lakes with perennial water accumulation, most of which are round or oval, with a water surface width of 200-300 meters and a water depth of 78 meters. The lakeside of glacial lake is mostly paved with huge stone strips and slabs, and some are bare cornerstones. The lakeside of moraine lake is dominated by rocks and gravel. Some lakes have peninsulas or islands in the middle of the lake. There are a lot of ice erosion and moraines around all lakes. Due to the different colors of bedrock, vegetation or humus around the lake and aquatic plants in the lake, the lake presents emerald blue, brownish red, brownish yellow, grass green and dark green. The main lakes with investigation significance and sightseeing are Pearl Lake Group, Colorful Lake Group, Diecui Lake, Sister Lake, Ganhaizi Lake, Huanglong Lake, Black Dragon Lake and Hot Spring Waterfall.

Since the early Han Dynasty, Buddhism prevailed in the Tang Dynasty (there were more than 3,000 monks in Luoji Temple at its peak), and many temples were built, but the ruins still exist. After the end of the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism declined gradually due to war and other reasons, so there was a saying that Emei, Luoji Mountain opened and Emei Mountain closed. Buddhists call Luoji Mountain Wei Zi. From the early Qing Dynasty to Daoxian County, temples gradually re-emerged. According to records, only at the foot of Luoji Mountain, there are two great temples of Cao Dong religion. Luoji Mountain is called a fairyland by Buddhists because of its clear water and deep valleys, misty clouds and endless landscapes.

The Yi language of Luoji Mountain is called Ai 'an Habo.

Among all the dozens of azaleas, the most precious is the milky white azaleas. Rhododendron is called soma flower in Yi language, which is the welcome flower of Liangshan Yi people.

The fourth mountain of Luoji Mountain should be the largest and deepest ancient glacier notch in the world. It is composed of ancient glaciers sandwiched with hard rocks, and the rocks on both sides of the bottom of the glaciers are carved and ground with strong power, and over time, wide and deep rock grooves will be formed.
