    "Beautiful, beautiful, the flower lake in early autumn is as beautiful. I played Jiuqu and Huahu in one day. Compared with Jiuqu, Jiuqu is garbage. If the full score is 10 points, Huahu will have 8 points. I don't want to give nine songs a point. The same 105 tickets, Jiuqu will be used as feeding dogs."

    "As soon as I arrived in the northwest of Dongyouchuan, I found the Chinese version of Highway〝66 〞. Autumn and winter Sichuan grassland road is like "US 66 Highway 〞, and the summer green is completely different, looking at the endless golden face roll, the stretch of roads, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes and temples together constitute a beautiful scenery! This season, Ruoergai really has a lonely beauty, the grassland of Nuoda is rare, more than a group of yaks, they run in the grassland, sometimes cross the road, large grass in the breeze and bright sunshine under the starting point of golden fin, It seems to be like we tell the story of autumn. I first heard that Ruoergai is in the book, on the mobile phone screen, the long-planned destination is finally realized in this autumn and winter. Although it is not in its most beautiful season, I like the golden autumn more, because there are few people and beautiful scenery. The scenery here can make a big movie about the western cowboy. After visiting Ruoergai, we set off to the place where the soul is dreaming - the first bay of Jiuqu of the Yellow River. This is also the most anticipated destination for my trip. This is the birthplace of the Yellow River. It is also the first bend of the Yellow River, the mother river of China. It is really beautiful to chase the sunset here!"

    Diebu
    >100km from Maqu
    Highlights: Zagana, also known as Zagala, is located in Diebu County, Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. The ancient wooden Tibetan houses in the village are built along the mountains, and the local people work quietly and simply among the hillsides and rivers, forming a wonderful pastoral scenery. Whether sightseeing, photography, or visiting the traditional life of the simple Tibetan people, it is a wonderful place not to be missed. Zhagana is located in the valley of Yiwa Township, Diebu County. It takes about 1 hour by car from Diebu County and about 2 hours from Langmusi. Zagana is suitable for visiting in July and August. At this time, the grassland is green and the scenery is beautiful. Generally, most tourists come from Langmusi when they take the Gannan and Sichuan routes. The regular time to visit is to arrive in the afternoon and take a leisurely stroll through the village to enjoy the view. Stay in a Tibetan homestay for one night, and leave after shooting the morning clouds and sunrise the next morning. In addition, there is a two-day trekking route in the back mountain of Zhagana, which can be rented in the village or on foot. Zhagana Village is further divided into four small villages. From bottom to top, they are Dongwa Village, Yeri Village, Dari Village and Daiba Village. The distance between Dongwa Village and Daiba Village is about 5 kilometers. The road connects four villages. You can walk or drive to visit and take pictures one by one. It takes about 1 hour to walk from the bottom to the top. Entering by car from the entrance of the village, the first thing to arrive is Dongwa Village at the foot of the mountain. There is a big stone called Dashimen. The hillside next to Dashimen is a suitable place for taking pictures. Here, you can take pictures of the beautiful scenery of the village built along the mountains. The back of the village is wrapped by cliffs, and at the top of the village is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery. The scenery is fantastic and beautiful. Dongwa Village has a large population and is also a good place to stay. You can set up accommodation in the farmhouse here, and then walk or drive to the higher villages. It takes about 1 hour to walk to the higher places. Going up the mountain along the road is Yeri Village. There is an open barley field next to Yeri Village. You can often see scenes of Tibetan people busy in the fields, and the scene is peaceful and simple. In addition, there is a house in Yeri Village where the famous traveler Joseph Locke once lived for more than a year, but now it can only be visited outside. Continue to move forward, and after passing through Dari Village, there is a viewing platform with a wide field of view, which is suitable for taking pictures of the whole village. You can see the whole village and the fantastic rock wall behind it. All the houses are built with old wooden roofs and earthen walls. Wonderful place. After shooting the panorama, you can retreat back to Dongwa Village for accommodation. Due to the relatively remote terrain, Daiba Village has less scenery to see, so you can skip it. In addition to taking a lap in the afternoon, Zagana has a lot of content to look forward to. Every morning, there are clouds and mists lingering between the rock walls on the mountain, and the starry sky when the lights are dead at night is also beautiful and splendid, which is a good opportunity to take pictures. If you have enough time, you can also take 1-2 hours to climb the back mountain of Dongwa Village to see the temple on the top of the mountain. The houses passing by are all ancient buildings, and the wooden wedge-riveted structure is even more ancient and peculiar. If you are lucky, you can meet the kind-hearted local people, and you will be invited to your home to taste traditional food such as tsampa butter tea and experience the simplicity and enthusiasm of the local people. In addition, there is a two-day hiking route behind the village, which can lead to untouched lakes and stone forests, with pristine and beautiful scenery. However, this route is only suitable for outdoor enthusiasts and requires a night of camping. When walking this route, you can rent a horse in the village and ask a groom to lead the way. Generally, a horse costs about 150 yuan a day.

    "It is a scenic spot worth visiting. The flow of people in August is still quite large. We went out early and arrived at the gate of the scenic spot at 8 o'clock. Buying tickets online also requires queuing up to pick up tickets on the spot, which will delay some time. 7 seats and a small car can drive to the parking lot on the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain is still a bit cold. We first went to Panyangping to take a sightseeing bus to the highest point of 4520. The scenery is really amazing and breathtaking. Then I drove down the mountain to the Heyuan Service Station to walk to Lake Zhagarcuo, and I was a little tired on foot. Both attractions can take a sightseeing bus. This is worthy of the Oriental magic world, recommended"

    "The whole performance was indignant. When the curtain fell on the stage, the harvest was endless applause. Even the children of Dingdon, who were less than 5 years old, were also sitting in the seat and unwilling to get up. Mom sat next to me and kept clapping and said to me, this performance is worth it, Much better than the Spring Festival Gala. This is the first time she has seen a live performance of this scale and level, and I think this performance is enough for her to say for a while."

    "Finally went to the long-time Jiuzhaigou, the scenery is indeed beautiful, but after seeing a few Haizi, I feel that the scenery is relatively simple, only water, each Haizi is similar, people have an aesthetic fatigue feeling. I feel that Jiuzhaigou is a bit too high, and it may be because the psychological expectations are too high, resulting in a sense of loss. Maybe the heavens are not beautiful, the day of entering the hospital is cloudy, and the photo effect is not ideal. Recently, there have been a lot of negative reports on Jiuzhaigou on the Internet, especially the parking problem. I have not encountered anything to force parking fees, but the parking lot of Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area is indeed too high. It costs 60 yuan for a day to stop. Huanglong Scenic Area parking lot charges 10 yuan. This gap is too big! This is one of the reasons why Jiuzhaigou feels a bit unworthy of its name."

    "A passing ancient city, the direction is the east of the Xiangyang Gate. It is said that the ancient city has seven gates. From the outside, the city wall is thick and well preserved. There are also repairs in the back. It is said that there is also a Lijiang River flowing through the city. This is still an important station for tea and horse exchange. And it is also a military fortress in northwest Sichuan, and it has been found that it is a must-pass place since we walked. It was built in the Ming Dynasty. It seems that many of the better preserved monuments are either built or maintained in the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that there are still many contributions in the Ming Dynasty."
