Hongyuan - Ruoergai Prairie

红原—若尔盖大草原

Red Yuan Ruoergai Prairie is located in the territory of Hongyuan County, Sichuan Province, 300 kilometers from Chengdu, 3 kilometers from Hongyuan County. Here the pastures are lush, the white river is like a curved crescent moon in the sky, the red plains are very flat, like a gentle beautiful Tibetan woman, standing quietly. The red army long march when this pasture once, and rest here, stationed. Although the grass and wild flowers cannot be seen in late autumn, but the eyes are full of the golden grass in the sun.

The route was through the great grassland of Jorgai, which was passed during the Red Army's March in 1935, and we just walked a hundred steps up the observation deck, and we felt short-suffocated chests due to the 3500 meters above sea level and the wind. It is hard to imagine the Red Army soldiers with the faith and perseverance to pass through the 500-mile, 300-mile plateau wetland without food and cold supplies, and with the wetland covered with the sky.

Located at the junction of Sichuan and Gansu Provinces, this is part of the Gannan prairie, one of the four grasslands in China. Every summer, the grass is grassy, yellow and white Gesang flowers are scattered, and the natural scenery is beautiful.

The Hongyuan grassland is especially mysterious because it is located in the high altitude area of more than 4,000 meters above sea level. The cold and steep and wide grassland has an average altitude of 3,400 meters. In the 7-8 hour drive, the hills and hills are wave after wave, the height difference is relatively only 50 to 60 meters. But in the broad plateau of the valley, there are many sections of clouds, winds and climate change. This area, which was passed by the Red Army on the Long March, is 3,800 meters above sea level. There are now monuments.

Snow mountains, holy and sacred places in people's hearts. The grassland scenery of a thousand miles, the fragrant milk tea, the blue sky, white clouds, the clear sky, flocks of cattle and sheep on the gentle hillside. I am used to the spicy and delicious flavor of Sichuan, and the original flavor of lamb is also worth a taste.
