An unexpected treasure - Awancang Wetland

🌾Awancang Wetland is more than 50 kilometers away from Maqu County. The Yellow River originates from the Bayankala Mountains, meanders southeast to Tangke, Aba, Sichuan, then turns northwest to flow into Maqu, Gansu, forming a big bend of more than 400 kilometers. Awancang Wetland is located right in the middle of this big bend. The water here flows slowly, forming many tributaries and swamps, making this vast grassland lush with grass and water, and the cattle and sheep fat and strong. 🐄🐑Awancang Wetland Scenic Area is known as the world's most beautiful, largest, most primitive and highest-quality plateau wetland grassland. It was ranked first in the "Five Most Beautiful Grassland Wetlands in China" by China National Geographic in 2008. The entire wetland is flat and vast, with gentle slopes and lush water and grass. It is a tourist destination not to be missed in Gannan. 🏞️ 📏Altitude: about 3,400 meters 🕗Opening hours: 8:30-18:00 💸Tickets: 35 yuan/person 🚌Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself. There is no oil or electricity nearby, but there is free parking. 🚗 Awancang Wetland
