The Zoige Grassland in summer is a legendary prairie indeed!

Western Sichuan | | Every summer, the vast Zoige Grassland blooms with flowers💐
The green grassland is dotted with wildflowers🌸
It looks like a colorful carpet🌈
Under the clear sky, the Flower Lake🌳
Who understands? It's legendary, right ❓❗
From mid-May each year, various colors of wildflowers on the grassland begin to bloom, and the flowering period lasts until August, with the most flourishing blooms in June⃣ and July⃣.
✨Essential attractions:
1⃣ Zoige Flower Lake
One of China's beautiful wetlands, from June to September, the lake is lush with various plants, and there are leisurely wild ducks swimming on the lake surface, while the lakeside aquatic grass sways in the wind
2⃣ The First Bend of the Yellow River
A true portrayal of 'the sunset and solitary birds flying together, and the autumn water sharing the same color as the sky', where you can witness unique and magnificent natural landscapes, and the sunset is super beautiful!
3⃣ Moon Lake
A lesser-known secret spot in Western Sichuan, personally, I think it's the ceiling of hiking! The air is fresh, cattle and horses are in herds, trees are lush, and the water flows gently, it's really comfortable! Take the chance to visit now before it's developed, while there are few people, everyone must seize the opportunity to go once!
🍜Specialty food
1⃣ Yak meat hot pot: A local specialty, tender meat, generous portions, you can eat very well for 200
2⃣ Tibetan-style hot pot: It has 2 layers, the top is the hot pot, and the bottom is vegetables. It's quite cold at night in the Aba area, so having a Tibetan-style hot pot is very warm and comfortable!
