Hongyuan County Great Prairie

Depart from Chengdu | 4 hours to rush to the Hongyuan Prairie Pack the tent, folding chairs, outdoor tableware, and other equipment into the car the day before the weekend or holiday, and as soon as you get off work, leave the city with your friends as if 'escaping for your life', immerse yourself in nature, set up tents, stretch the canopy, unfold the folding tables and chairs, lay out the table mats and napkins. Chop wood, boil water, cook, until night falls, light a bonfire, chat with friends, gaze at the stars, and when it gets late, enter the tent to sleep peacefully in the real wilderness, and be woken up by the direct sunlight the next day. Let's go, today, we head to Aba Prefecture, to the real prairie. The flowers on the prairie are about to bloom, and the locals are starting to enjoy their time. Take the tent to Hongyuan, and camp on the prairie with the nomads. Ride horses, herd, milk cows; watch the snow-capped mountains, rivers, and Gesang flowers; eat beef, drink butter tea... Recently, the 48.5 kilometers from Wangjiazhai Interchange to Zhongrangkou Interchange on the Jiuhuang Expressway has completed the quality inspection and on-site approval of the inspection opinions and is scheduled to officially open for trial operation at the end of March By then, the history of Hongyuan County not having expressways will be completely over, and you can drive from Chengdu to the Hongyuan Prairie on expressways all the way, taking only 4 hours Hongyuan is located in the middle of the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province, on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, between the snow-capped mountains and grasslands of northwestern Sichuan. The prairie here is vast, with lush water and grass, and the natural landscape is unique. The area is extremely rich in mineral and forest resources and is known as the 'Silver Beach of the Plateau'.
