📍Geographical Location: Puge County is located in the southeast of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan, 42 km away from Xichang. It has beautiful scenery such as Luoji Mountain and Ritudisa Grassland, and is the birthplace of the Yi Torch Festival! The altitude here is about 2,000m, and the average temperature in summer is 16℃, which can be called the ceiling of summer heat avoidance~💦
