Moxi is the gateway to the Hailuogou Glacier National Park and also to Gongga Mountain. The little town is just south of Kangding on the road from Ya'an through Luding to Kangding.

Moxi itself is for re-fueling or resting but not necessarily for sightseeing. There are hotels and food stalls near the gate to Hailuogou, but a trip to the glacier should not take much more than a few hours, unless you are camping out. Most people get a bus from kangding or Ya'an to Moxi and then continue on after spending some time near the glacier.

Moxi is also famous for being the site of one of Revolutionary China's most famous engagements between Mao Zi Dong and his Red Army and the Nationalists.
