Red Grassland

There is a small pond beside the Sangdui Highway not far from Daocheng County. It looks inconspicuous at first glance, but in October, the pond is surrounded by red water plants. This is the legendary red grass wetland.

The red grass growing in the water is a plant unique to the plateau. It is sparse and dense, like a shrub rooted in the water. Under the sunlight, it is bright red and very eye-catching. On the other side of the pond stands a row of yellow and green poplar trees, and together with the blue sky, white clouds and mountains in the distance, they reflect each other to form a colorful picture, so beautiful that everyone is crazy about it.

Because the red grass is in full bloom for a very short time, I heard that it only lasts about a week. When I first planned the trip, I didn't expect to see the beautiful red grass. Because autumn came late this year, we ran into it. I heard that in previous years, it was the reddest and most lush in the first ten days of the year, and then it began to wither. On the road to Daocheng County, no tickets are required. And when we arrived there that day, it was exactly four or five o'clock, the best time to take pictures and there was sunshine. Everything was just right, perfect.

It is worth a visit. The best months are September to October. I went there a little later in November, and the surrounding trees had all lost their leaves. Otherwise, the golden or emerald green trees set off the beautiful scenery.

The Red Grass Beach is just a small area, with a small pool of red water plants, a row of poplar trees on the side, and a plank road built around it. It is said that there is an entrance fee during holidays, but no one cares about it now. There are just many Tibetan children in fancy dress chasing you for money, "Uncle, give me some money, buy me a schoolbag."

The most beautiful thing in Daocheng County is the poplar forest.

I think the most beautiful one is the Red Grass Wetland Park.

Although the place is not big, it is just a small area

But the red grass, with the yellow poplars

With the green mountains in the distance as the background

Against the backdrop of the rich blue sky and white clouds

So beautiful

You can also rent clothes here

If you have time, it is recommended to rent clothes for taking photos

It will be very beautiful

It's past the season, so I took a photo from the car.

You also have to pass by a piece of red.

At this time, we are finally approaching Daocheng Yading, but we will pass by a sea of ​​​​Ge Sang flowers.

It is actually a roadside wetland. There is no entrance fee. You can just park in the parking lot opposite and take pictures.

The grass of the red grassland only turns red in autumn, especially after October, and the redder it gets. We arrived at the end of September, a little early, so there was not much red grass.

There is only a small patch of red grass, and because it is summer, it is not particularly red. Instead, the scenery of the woods next to it is particularly great!

One of the characteristics of Daocheng is the beautiful scenery in autumn, which is different from other seasons!

This is the difference between a naked seller's show and a buyer's show. No matter the angle or light, the effect in the promotional photos cannot be achieved. Come with excitement, leave with disappointment.

Seeing the red grass, Mr. Yu and I both lost our smiles: "Is this considered a tourist attraction? We took a vacation and endured altitude sickness just to see this crappy grass!?"

I heard that the red grass will not turn fully red until mid-to-late October. Maybe I came at the wrong time. I can only comfort myself by eating some highland potatoes from a roadside stall.

All the way I was eager to see the red grass. Although our driver, Xiao Ye, kept telling me not to have too high expectations and that the photos were different from the real scene, I was still very happy to see a field of red grass.

I heard that you can only see the red grass for one month a year. I happened to see it in early October. It was really beautiful. Many people stopped their cars here to take pictures.

It was exactly as they said: just a patch of grass the size of a football field.

This red grass is no different from ordinary green grass in spring and summer, but it turns red in early October every year. It is especially easy to take good photos when paired with the poplar forest in the distance and the aquatic plants nearby.

Unfortunately, when we arrived, the light wasn’t particularly good, and there was no blue sky as a background.

Tips: You can park opposite the red grass, and the fee is 10 yuan per car per time.

It happens that the red grass begins to turn red in early October, which is the best season for viewing.

Due to environmental changes and the surge in tourists, the red grass is no longer as large as it used to be, and with the sudden drop in temperature, some of the red grass has wilted early. However, the abundant sunlight in the morning still allows us to feel the charm of the interlaced light and shadow.

It's just a small bunch, not as stunning as I imagined. It's more pleasing than the fields of sunflowers across the road.

We stayed on the red grass for a long time because it was so beautiful. We all asked the master to stay longer.

There are many stalls near the entrance of Red Grassland, selling all kinds of jewelry and snacks. At the end of September, the Red Grassland was only half red, and the poplar trees were still green and green. There was no trace of autumn, but it was still very beautiful.

I went to the most pleasant restroom in the Red Grassland parking lot because there was a Gesang garden outside the restroom with blooming flowers.

I didn't expect it to turn red earlier this year. No wonder the heavy snow in western Sichuan this year also came half a month earlier. Although I didn't have much hope, because many guides said it was actually a very small area, and now Tibetans see that everyone loves the red grass so much, they have stopped people to collect money, so the experience is not good. But the red grass is also an unexpected gain. We didn't get off the car, but took two photos in the car. Unfortunately, the trees haven't turned yellow yet.

On the way to Daocheng Yading, no tickets are required, a good attraction

Parking at Sangdui Red Grassland costs 10 yuan and there is no entrance fee. It can be viewed from September to October. It is actually quite small and sparse, but it is very beautiful together with the row of poplar trees behind it.

I just went to the red grass this afternoon, it was really great!

The red grass is very beautiful, making you feel that the world is so colorful.

Before arriving at Daocheng, you will pass by the town of Sangdui. The word "Sangdui" is clearly visible on the road sign. There is a famous "Red Grassland" scenic spot here, which can be found on the navigation. The scenic spot is free and there is a parking lot. The parking fee seems to be 10 yuan. In addition to the characteristic red grass, you can also see patches of Gesang flowers, which are very beautiful under the sun.

It was cloudy when we went from Ganzi to Daocheng, so it was not good to take pictures. We just passed by the red grass. On the way back, we went to the red grass, but the grass was not red (yellow) enough and the trees behind were not golden yellow. The scenery was very ordinary, and I felt cheated by the guide. The red grass must be visited in late autumn to be the most beautiful! I was surprised to see a large area of ​​windmills and sunflowers, opposite the red grass, across the road. The boss said that it had just started business this year and it was not built very well yet, so it was free to visit ~ happy ~

The scenic spot is not big, but it is still quite interesting, especially for people who were born in Guangdong and have never seen autumn. A vivid and real late autumn beauty is presented in front of you.

The Red Grassland is small, but it is one of the popular check-in spots for photography enthusiasts. The scenery in autumn is beautiful. When the leaves turn yellow and the weather is clear, it is as beautiful as a painting!

The red grass field and the poplar forest are the best match. I have heard about the beauty of the red grass field for a long time. It's a pity that we came at a wrong time. There was nothing on the grass field. We can only imagine the beauty in autumn.

The red grass field will not turn red until mid-to-late October every year. No tickets are required for the scenic spot, which is just a piece of grass beside the provincial road. However, parking fee is required, which is 10 yuan.

From Xinduqiao to Daocheng, you will pass the red grass in Sangdui Town. It only appears in autumn every year and the appearance time is very short. At that time, the lake and the swamp are full of red water grass. The red landscape comes into view, warm and gorgeous, very intoxicating!

It was already dusk when we arrived, and the red grass had withered. We missed the best time to see the most beautiful scenery!

We took some photos of playing in the water here at the Red Grassland. There was a stone park downstream that charged a fee, so we didn't go in. We went directly upstream to take photos, and there was no entrance fee. I am so smart.

I went there in winter, it wasn't very nice, but it was pretty good in September and October

It is a rare opportunity to appreciate such a "fantasy" in a year, because it is at its most beautiful for only a dozen days. In this short period of time, looking at the enchanting red grass and the original natural scenery of the plateau, you will unconsciously exclaim in amazement!

There were no people, no cars, no water, and no grass that day, making it hard to imagine the beautiful autumn scenery of red grass, river water, and yellow poplar trees.

The colors of the plateau are very clean, with blue sky, white snow-capped mountains, green grasslands and clear rivers. Under the sunlight, the red grass is purple and red, which is intoxicating.

I have heard about the beauty of the red grass for a long time, but unfortunately May is not the best time to come. There is nothing on the grass. I can only imagine the beauty in autumn.

Nowadays, Red Grassland is crowded with tourists.

You have to queue up to take photos, so you should go early to see the good scenery.

The place is not too big, but the scenery is beautiful. I went there during the National Day holiday and the grass was red and beautiful~!

You don't have to stay long, just stop and take a few photos when you pass by, it's quite beautiful.

At dusk, as we were approaching Daocheng, we actually saw the famous red grass. It is located in an inconspicuous pond beside the road in Sangdui Town, 28 kilometers north of Daocheng County. The red grass, which can only be seen for a dozen days in mid-October every year, we saw it in early September, which surprised us a lot! After all, we came a little early, and the leaves of the poplars beside the red grass had not yet turned yellow. When the car was about to arrive in Daocheng, the roadside was full of blooming Gesang flowers, which made people very happy!

Red Grassland, when approaching Daocheng County, you will pass by a pond. This is the legendary "Red Grassland" attraction mentioned in many tourist itineraries. Every autumn, this piece of water grass turns red, which is very beautiful.

But the truth is: this is really a very small pond, just a very small one, not as spectacular as it looks in the photo. The red grassland in the photo below is basically 70% of the area of ​​the red grassland.

Another point is that no tickets are required for the Red Grassland scenic spot.

The Red Grassland is located outside Daocheng County. The area of ​​the entire scenic spot is not very large. Tourists are not allowed to go down to the grass. There are paths for tourists to walk around it. No tickets are required for the scenic spot. There are very traditional Tibetan houses around the Red Grassland. You can appreciate the gaps in the red grass and experience the strong Tibetan culture in the buildings.

The red grass is really dazzling if you see it in the right season. Just when a travel agency bus got off, so many tourists surrounded the small red grass that it was difficult to take a photo.

Passing by on the way out of Aden, it's a place you can go or not, the grass is starting to turn red

The red color is pleasing to the eye under the sunlight, and it is extremely charming against the backdrop of blue sky, white clouds and poplar trees.

The roadside from Daocheng to Haizi Mountain is not a big place but very beautiful.

A small wetland, we took photos for the whole afternoon, very photogenic

This piece of grass is actually very small, and a section of the plank road is crowded with people, so it's not nice to take pictures. I took the picture directly on the fence, and didn't go down, so I didn't have to pay, but I paid 10 yuan for parking. I also saw many tourists jumping off the fence when the administrator didn't see them, saving 10 yuan for the ticket... Oh, what kind of quality...

In fact, the red grass in Daocheng is not that bright.

I went there during the National Day holiday, and the trees hadn't really changed color yet. This attraction is really a rip-off. It's just a small area on the side of the road, and you can see it when you pass by. The parking fee is 10 yuan. You will be charged if you drive into the parking lot, and you will also be charged if you drive out without stopping. The locals are also very arrogant in order to collect parking fees.

You can only go to the Red Grassland after mid-September. The Red Grassland is not big, half an hour is enough. There is a parking lot next to it for 10 yuan. If you have a short time to visit, you can park your car on the roadside in front.

In Daocheng County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, a red landscape came into my eyes. It was so warm, so gorgeous, and so intoxicating. Against the backdrop of yellow or green poplar trees, it was brilliant and charming. Nearsighted, "The mountains are green and my heart is burning, and the red trees are intoxicating with the autumn colors." We wandered in the small village beside the road. The "red grass" played an intoxicating red melody in the sun. I really want to use the famous line of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu, and also shout out "Stop the car and sit to love the red grass, the frosted leaves and red grass are October flowers."

The imagined red grassland is an endless expanse of red, and against the backdrop of a few yellow or green poplar trees, it is extremely charming, making people unable to help but use Du Mu's eternal quatrain "Stop the car and sit and make love...". Now it is much more desolate, without the red background, but fortunately there is still this autumn color, red, orange, yellow and green can be regarded as another interpretation of its beauty.

The scenery along the way is very beautiful, the sky is very blue, there are white clouds, and the roadside is full of gesang flowers, which is super beautiful and very suitable for taking pictures. This year's red grass beach is not as good as in previous years, but it is still very beautiful, but the scale has become smaller and there are not many red grasses.

We went there in September, and the Red Grass Beach had not turned bright red yet, just a little orange, and it was cloudy without sunshine. But the scenery is really very good, with distant mountains, grasslands, small towns, red grass, and reflections superimposed together, the picture is very full, and it is also very good to take pictures of the reflections! It only takes ten minutes to walk along the plank road by the lake. It is not a big place, but it is very attractive. Tourists going to and from Daocheng will stop here and feel it! The most beautiful time is probably in mid-to-late September, one to two weeks, depending on the weather! See you again if you are lucky!

We went there in July, when it was still a green grass beach. The green grass was interspersed with wild flowers, which was also a very beautiful scenery.

The red grass is no longer so red, and there are only a few red grasses in the water.

I don't want to give a bad review, but I'm a little disappointed. I always say that Hongcaotan is the difference between Taobao sellers and buyers. Experience it yourself. Maybe it's not the right time to go? Sangdui is pretty good. I like the atmosphere.

It seems that the visitor center has not been developed yet. We came at the wrong time. We should come in autumn. The pictures taken by others are very beautiful and the Tibetan architecture is also very distinctive.

Looking far away, the scenery is red, so gorgeous and intoxicating. Against the backdrop of yellow or green poplar trees, it is brilliant and charming.

First stop, Red Grass Beach~

I must say that whether you can see the dense, lush, fiery red grass in the promotional pictures depends on your luck.

We came at the best time.

However···

No more words

Look at the pictures

Ha ha

There are many large and small stones. It's a pity that I came at the wrong season. I just passed by when I came down from Xinyicuo.

After going down the mountain, you can pass Sangdui Township. If you are lucky, you can see the Red Grass Beach, which is actually a large area of ​​red seaweed. Because it is very seasonal, it can only be seen in the autumn for more than ten days, so it is really a rare opportunity.

However, there are really a lot of yaks in the plateau areas, and what comes with them is their feces, so it is best to look at the ground more when walking and be careful of being shot.

Wow, she's pretty. The show should be interesting.

When we arrived there in mid-September, the Red Grass Beach was only a little bit red. If it had been completely red, it would have been very beautiful. However, the Red Grass Beach is actually quite small. It is located on Provincial Road 217 on the way from Litang to Daocheng. It is nice to get off the car and take some photos.

I went there at the wrong season and didn’t get to appreciate the charm of the red grass!

When I went there at this time, it was not very beautiful. It is best to go at the end of September, when the red grass is everywhere and it is beautiful.

The area of ​​the red grass is much smaller now because of the increasing number of tourists. You can only see the red grass in autumn, so autumn is the best season to visit Daocheng. To avoid the crowds, you can choose mid-to-late October.

Green mountains and green waters, blue sky, white clouds and red grasslands. Rich Tibetan customs!

Because I didn't go into the Red Grass Beach, I may have only seen a partial view of it. But I can only say that the various beautiful pictures on the Internet before going to Daocheng made me a little disappointed with the Red Grass Beach. In addition, when I rode to the Red Grass Beach, I met a local child who pestered me for money, which made me lose my initial expectations for the Red Grass Beach. However, the scenery along the way to the Red Grass Beach is still good. After writing the travel notes, some friends raised objections to this, but this is indeed what I saw and heard. I can only say that everyone has a different opinion! But all ggmm who go to Daocheng can still go and check it out, because it is really close, and it doesn't take time to rent an electric car to get there.

It is about 10 kilometers away from the county seat. It will turn red in October every year. The specific flowering period is uncertain and lasts for more than ten days. It is a small piece, but it is still very beautiful. At least there is only one place with red grass

If it weren't for autumn, the scenery here would never attract your attention. It's a water grass beach that's only the size of a football field. The granite glacial boulders in the water and on the shore are randomly placed. A few pigs are rooting for food on the grass by the water, and the mud is all over the ground. But at the end of September and the beginning of October every year, the scenery will be completely different. The water grass in the water seems to be ignited overnight. Groups and clusters of red grass are very ostentatious and pounce into the water. It's the most gorgeous deep red. There are no gaps in the grass. The water embraces the blue sky, white clouds, and distant mountains, adding more colorful blocks of color to the red grass beach.
