Hidden gem of Western Sichuan! The healing sky mirror of the Ruoergai Grassland ☁️
This highland meadow, as if painted by God's palette, is a desktop wallpaper with every snap! Under the blue sky and white clouds, herds of yaks stroll leisurely, and the wetlands reflect the blue sky, breathtakingly beautiful~
🚗 Travel Tips:
📍 Address: Near Provincial Road 209, Ruoergai County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture
Recommended to self-drive or hire a car! About a 6-hour drive from Chengdu, and you’ll encounter plenty of wild marmots along the way.
📸 Must-visit photo spots:
1️⃣ Huahu Scenic Area
Like a sapphire embedded in the grassland! The wooden boardwalk extends to the center of the lake, perfect for capturing reflections.
2️⃣ The First Bend of the Yellow River
Climb the viewing platform at dusk to see the winding river bathed in golden sunlight.
🐎 Special Experiences:
• Horseback riding across the grassland (remember to bargain)
• Take photos with herders wearing Tibetan robes
• Wait for a plateau sunset in the evening
⚠️ Notes:
• Altitude 3500 meters! Prepare oxygen bottles in advance
• Large temperature difference between morning and evening, bring a windbreaker
• Sunscreen + sunglasses = life-saving combo
