The Luoza River flows through four townships — Ai Hua Town (upstream), the border between Xiao Jie Township and Mao Lan Township (midstream), and Mang Huai Township (downstream) — before entering the Lancang River. In the upper reaches, the riverbed is wide and the water flows gently, with ancient waterwheels placed sporadically along the banks, their tireless “creaking” sounds resembling a beautiful pastoral symphony. In the downstream section, the river has carved deep into the landscape, forming a narrow bed with rapid currents, creating the majestic Luoza River Gorge. The gorge features steep cliffs, towering peaks, hanging vines, and lush forests, offering a spectacular and grand view.
The middle and upper reaches of the Luoza River have wide riverbeds and picturesque landscapes on both banks, exuding a romantic and timeless rural charm. In this section, visitors can enjoy water tours or hiking, visit the ancient waterwheels with their turning “gulu” sound, and even participate in hands-on field activities.
The lower reaches of the Luoza River have a narrow riverbed with steep cliffs on both sides, forming a majestic and elegant canyon scenery. In addition to sightseeing in the canyon, this section also offers special adventure tourism activities such as rock climbing and exploration.
