Ruoergai Prairie

This is a magnificent emerald inlaid on the northwest border of Sichuan. This is a magical land and a gorgeous picture. Picture scroll, this is the oasis in the northwest Sichuan Plateau - Ruoergai Prairie. Covering an area of ??nearly 30,000 square kilometers, it is composed of meadows, grasslands and swamps. The Red Army's 25,000-mile Long March passed through here. White swans, sika deer and other migratory birds and wild animals gather in the Zoige Prairie, and the rivers meander along the way. The sky is high and the air is crisp in the prairie. The sun rises in the morning, the tents are dotted, the smoke is lingering, the cattle and sheep are wild, the pastoral songs are long, and the style is intoxicating.

The first bend of the Yellow River

The first bend of the Yellow River is located in Tangke Township, Ruoergai County. Here the Yellow River and the Bai River converge to form the first bend of the Yellow River, across the river from Gansu Province. The province faces each other. In the Jiuqu area, there are many islands, forests of red willows, and colorful whirling trees. As the sun sets in the west, the sunset glows in the first bay of Jiuqu. The returning yellow ducks and brook gulls pass through the sky, forming "the setting sun and the solitary heron fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color."

Hua Lake

Hua Lake is located next to the 213 National Highway between Ruoergai Prairie and Langmusi. It is a natural sea on the Re'erba Prairie, with an altitude of 3,468 meters. Re'erba Prairie is the second largest grassland in my country, second only to Hulunbuir. There are two other Haizi adjacent to it, the smallest is called Cuoergan, the largest is called Cuoreha, and Huahu is located in the middle.

Langmusi

Langmusi is a Tibetan Buddhist temple. Langmu means fairy in Tibetan, because there are rocks in the cave that resemble a graceful jade girl. People say that they were transformed by fairies, hence the name. Langmusi Temple faces the Gerdi Temple in Sichuan across the Bailong River. It was very prosperous in its early years. There is a mountain in front of the temple, shaped like a monk's hat, which is unique. 4. Precautions

In winter, the temperature is generally below zero, so down jackets and thermal underwear are essential;

Nearly 90% of the population in Tangke is Tibetan. When traveling in ethnic minority areas, the most important thing is to respect local customs and local residents;

Don’t approach herdsmen’s tents easily on the grassland. Sheepdogs are fierce. If you want to visit, you must say hello in advance. The herdsmen tied up their sheepdogs;

It is best to bring some dry food on the road, because it will be difficult to find a place to eat if you are on the way at noon;

The wind is very strong even in Ruoergai on a sunny day, so it is recommended Wear your hat to avoid being blown away by the wind.

Ruoergai is beautiful in autumn, with crisp autumn air and golden patches everywhere, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Wish you a happy journey!
