Hongyuan prairie

--The grassland in Hongyuan is rich in pasture. On an open grassland, the Baihe river meanders in an "s" shape, like a crescent moon in the sky, so it is also called Yueliangwan grassland.

--Compared with Zoige grassland, Hongyuan grassland is more flat, like a gentle and beautiful Tibetan woman, standing quietly. During the long march of that year, the Red Army had passed through this grassland and had a rest and stationed here.

--To choose the right time to arrive, although you can't see the grass and wild flowers everywhere in late autumn, your eyes are full of golden grass in the sun.
