The Hongyuan-Zoige Grassland is located in Hongyuan County and Zoige County in the northeast of Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province. It consists of meadow grasslands and swamps. This is a great destination for enjoying the grassland scenery and Tibetan customs.

The Hongyuan-Norge Grassland was the place that the Red Army once traveled during the world-famous 25,000-mile Long March. It left behind many moving stories and revolutionary sites, making this grassland famous at home and abroad. This grassland is the Norge Grassland, including Hongyuan Grassland, Songpan Grassland, and Geer Grassland.

The Hongyuan Grassland is located in Hongyuan County in the middle of Aba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and on the snowy mountains and grasslands in northwest Sichuan. The Hongyuan Grassland has a vast area, unique natural landscapes, and rich resources. It is known as the "Golden and Silver Beach" of the plateau. Hongyuan Grassland is a world of flowers and an ocean of grass, with unique customs and myriad scenery.

We often talk about "climbing snowy mountains and crossing grasslands" during the Long March of the Red Army, and "crossing grasslands" is about this place. The Red Army's Long March stayed in Sichuan for the longest time, experienced the broadest area, faced the most difficult environment, fought the most extraordinary struggle, and made the greatest sacrifices (according to historical records, about 10,000 Red Army soldiers slept on the grassland). All of this is reflected in this grassland. In order to commemorate the Red Army's Long March passing through here and the reclamation and construction of this grassland, in 1960, at the suggestion of Premier Zhou Enlai, the State Council named it Hongyuan County.

tips

1. Although Hongyuan Grassland is not particularly well-known, it is one of the core areas of the Dajiuzhai International Tourism Zone. It is also one of the "China Wetland Reserve" awarded by UNESCO.

2. Not only can you enjoy the beautiful grassland scenery here in summer, but the average temperature here in summer is only about 18 degrees, even in the hot midsummer, it is only about 20 degrees. It is a rare summer resort.

3. Moon Bay is a crescent moon-like river channel formed by the White River flowing through the Hongyuan Grassland on the vast grassland. It is located 3 kilometers south of Hongyuan County. Looking down from above, the winding river channel looks like a crescent moon falling on the green grassland.

4. On the way, you will pass a small attraction called Chazhen Liangzi, which is the Yangtze River and Yellow River watershed. On both sides is the White River of the Yellow River system, and on the other side is the Suomo River in the upper reaches of the Dadu River of the Yangtze River system. The geographical location of Chazhenliangzi is quite special, but it may be because the height is not enough above the observation deck (about 4300 meters above sea level), and the landscapes of the two tributaries of the Yangtze River and Yellow River cannot be seen.

5. The most beautiful scenery is on the road. Traveling and driving here is the best choice. There are no restrictions on time and itinerary. You can enjoy it slowly and savor it. The scenery you can see along the way not only does not cost you, but also allows you to feel the beauty of the prairie.

6. The road is basic but asphalt and the road conditions are good. This is the gospel of self-driving travel. When parking on the roadside to enjoy the scenery, be careful not to hinder traffic. Safety is the most important thing. Never drive your car into the grassland without the consent of the local herdsmen.

The Norge Grassland, known as the "Green State of the Northwest Sichuan Plateau", is one of the three major wetlands in my country. The Norge Grassland is a special area on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is between 3300 meters and 3600 meters above sea level. It is also known as the Songpan Plateau. Compared with the low-altitude areas in the central and eastern regions, it is a plateau; and compared with many surrounding mountains, it is surrounded by mountains and is a basin on the plateau.

The Zoige Grassland (Nuorigai Wetland National Nature Reserve) is rich in water and grass, and the original ecological environment is well protected, forming a grassland scenery with beautiful mountains and rivers and charming scenery. It was rated as the top of the six most beautiful swamps in China by National Geographic of China.

tips

1. You can visit the Zoige Prairie without tickets, but the Zoige Flower Lake Scenic Area requires tickets, and the first bay of the Jiuqu Yellow River in Tangke Town also requires tickets.

2. Ruoergai Flower Lake is located in the Geer Grassland, 35 kilometers north of Ruoergai County. The bank is densely populated with reeds. It is named Huahu because of a small white flower blooming in the lake. The Huahu Lake has a vast surface, and there is an unfathomable swamp underwater. Under the shine of the sun, the water surface reflects different brilliance, which is breathtaking.

3. The Yellow River meets with the White River in Tangke Township, Zoige County, forming the magnificent First Bay of the Nine Winds of the Yellow River. Here, you can enjoy the unique and magnificent natural landscape, and it is also a favorite spot for photography enthusiasts. You can take an elevator to reach the observation deck in the scenic area. The view here is very wide, allowing you to easily overlook the magnificent scenery of the first bay of the Yellow River's nine bends. It is also a good place to watch the sunset.

4. Summer every year is the best season to drive to the grassland, and it is also the best season of the year to immersively experience the scenery of the grassland. In summer, cattle and sheep are flocked on the grassland, flowers are in full bloom, and blue waves are interspersed among them. In the evening, the sun sets in the west and the sunset is beautiful. The grassland welcomes the most beautiful time of the year.

5. Although the altitude in this area is high, the probability of high rebellion is actually not high. But after all, it is at a high altitude area, so actions still have to be relatively slow, which will be more troublesome in case of a high rebellion. In addition, the weather on the grassland is often changeable, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is also large. In summer, you also need to bring a coat.

6. Red Plains and Norge are more fun. If you come, you will find that although they have different scenery, they have the same appeal. Therefore, it can be said that Hongyuan and Nuorigai have their own merits and cannot be compared. If conditions permit, it is best to visit both places.
