【Wumeng Grassland｜Guizhou’s “Emerald Wonderland” Hidden Above the Clouds

🌿Title: 🐑💨The cattle and sheep are freer than me, but I’m better at taking photos!】
📍Location: Guizhou · Wumeng Grassland｜The “Mirror of the Sky” + “Alpaca Habitat” combo in Southwest China!
Ladies! Who says Guizhou is only about sour fish soup and Moutai? This time I went straight into Wumeng Grassland and accidentally stepped into a real-life version of "The Emerald Wonderland"! ✨The wind blows the grass low revealing cattle and sheep, and alpacas rolling their eyes at me… it’s true, they really rolled their eyes! 🦙😒
📌**✨Why is Wumeng Grassland a “hidden gem”?**
✅ A “natural oxygen bar” at over 2000 meters altitude — take a deep breath and your lungs will feel 10 years younger! 🌳💨
✅ A rare southern alpine grassland — no need to go to Inner Mongolia to experience the poetic scene of “wind blowing the grass low revealing cattle and sheep” (though the cattle and sheep might be stealing your selfie stick) 📸🐑
✅ Weather changes quickly, winter and summer in a second — recommended to dress in “onion style” layers, or you’ll experience short sleeves → sweater → down jacket → short sleeves all in one day 🔄😂
✅ Perfect for photos! Every snap is wallpaper-worthy — sunrise, sea of clouds, windmills, grassland, herds of sheep… even your dog can be a model! 🐕📸
📷📸Photo check-in spots recommended (with icon guide):
🌅 【Sunrise and Sea of Clouds Viewing Platform】☁️🔥
At 5:30 AM, I braved the cold wind to climb up just to see a sunrise over the sea of clouds! When the sun popped out from the clouds, I almost cried — not from emotion, but from the cold! 🥶 But! Totally worth it! Bring a tripod + warm gloves, don’t be like me, my hands were shaking like I was taking a driving test.
🌬️ **【Windmill Array Walkway】**🌀📷
A row of giant windmills slowly turning on the grassland, just like a scene from a Studio Ghibli animation! Walking among them, it feels like Totoro might jump out from the grass and say, “Need a ride?” 🚗💨 For photos, wear light-colored clothes to maximize the artistic vibe!
🐑 【Alpaca Interaction Zone】🦙💥
Here’s the highlight! The alpacas here aren’t “gentle cuties,” they’re the grassland overlords! As soon as I raised my camera, one alpaca rushed over to snatch my hat, another spat at me from behind… 🤮💦
⚠️Friendly reminder: Don’t get too close! Don’t stare at them! Don’t think they won’t attack you! They will! They really will!
🐎 **【Horse Riding Experience Track】**🏇🌟
80 yuan for a horse ride around the grassland, the horse walked slower than my turtle at home… but! Sitting on the horse, the wind blowing past my ears, I suddenly felt like the queen of the grassland! 👑🐎 (Though the horse trainer kept shouting behind me: “Slow down, slow down, don’t let it run!”)
🍽️Food & Practical Tips (Here comes the good stuff!)
🍲 Must-eat: Whole roasted lamb on the grassland + sour soup beef hotpot
The roasted lamb is crispy outside and tender inside, every bite bursts with fat and makes your soul tremble! 🔥 Paired with Guizhou’s unique sour soup hotpot, spicy with a hint of sourness and fragrance, you’ll want to take the pot home after eating!
🏨 Accommodation recommendation: Grassland tent camp or nearby guesthouses
Want to see the starry sky? Choose a tent! 🌌 But remember to bring a thick sleeping bag, nights are as cold as being hugged by a polar bear! 🥶 Want comfort? Choose a guesthouse, clean and warm, and you can take a hot shower.
🎒 Essentials checklist:
● Windproof jacket + warm clothes (big temperature difference on the plateau!)
● Sunscreen (UV rays strong enough to cook an egg! 🌞)
● Power bank (running out of battery while taking photos is normal)
● Snacks (no milk tea available on the grassland! 😭)
● Courage (to face the alpaca ambush)
💖Personal feelings:
Wumeng Grassland isn’t a “check-in and leave” kind of place, it’s a place that lets you slow down, calm down, and laugh out loud. Standing on the grassland, watching the clouds roll by, listening to the wind through the grass tips, suddenly you feel — life isn’t so hectic after all~ 😌🌾
At that moment, I understood: the world is so big, the grassland is so vast, why not just lie down and look at the sky first. ☁️💤
📌📌📌In summary:
Come to Wumeng Grassland, not for anything else, but for that breath of fresh air, that vast grassland, and that alpaca that rolls its eyes — totally worth the ticket! 🎟️💚
📍Address: Wumeng Grassland Scenic Area, Panzhou City, Liupanshui, Guizhou Province
🚗Transportation: Recommended to drive yourself or charter a car from Liupanshui city, mountain roads are winding, beginners be cautious!
📌Follow me, next stop: chasing the wind in Yunnan, and maybe find that alpaca who stole my hat for revenge! 🦙🔥
