The Sangke Grassland is absolutely worth visiting on a good day! Under the blue sky and white clouds, the entire grassland is as green as an endless velvet carpet. Sunlight streams in, and cattle and sheep graze leisurely on the grass in the distance—a scene both clean and soothing. The wind carries the scent of fresh grass, and the view is incredibly expansive; every snapshot is a masterpiece. On a clear day, the sky is a crystal-clear blue, and the clouds are so low they seem almost within reach, creating a stunning contrast with the green grassland—no filter is needed. Strolling through it, you completely relax, leaving the hustle and bustle of the city far behind.

This high-altitude grassland, characterized by frost-covered hills and small grassy mounds, sits at an altitude of 3600m. In June, wildflowers such as the alpine meconopsis bloom across the grassland, creating a stunningly beautiful scene. Highly recommended!

藏在甘南与川西交界的秘境，我走完阿坝州纳摩大峡谷，才懂什么叫“神的褶皱”它不在热搜榜上，没有网红打卡墙， 却用一道狭长的裂缝，劈开了人间与神性的边界。纳摩大峡谷位于四川省阿坝藏族羌族自治州若尔盖县郎木寺镇以南约3公里处， 与甘肃赛赤寺隔江相望，是“东方小瑞士”郎木寺真正的后花园。 第一眼：像大地被神之手撕开走进峡谷入口， 一道赭红色的岩壁迎面压来， 高耸入云，如巨兽张口， 脚下是碎石与青草交织的小径， 头顶一线天光洒下， 仿佛穿越《山海经》里的“地脉之门”。这里没有栏杆，没有喇叭讲解， 只有风在岩缝中低语， 牦牛在山坡上静默吃草， 偶尔一只旱獭窜出洞穴， 又迅速消失在石堆中—— 原始，野性，却莫名安心。在纳摩大峡谷，我第一次感受到寂静的重量。没有游客喧哗，没有商业叫卖，只有转经筒的轻响、风马旗的猎猎和自己呼吸的节奏。坐在观景台的石头上，看着云影掠过山巅，突然明白：有些地方，不是为了打卡，而是为了“放下”。纳摩大峡谷，是藏地留给世界的一道静默诗。它不喧哗，去了让所有走进它的人，听见了内心的回声。如果你厌倦了人挤人的“网红景点”，如果你还想相信这个世界上有未被驯服的美，那就来纳摩大峡谷吧，带上敬畏，穿上徒步鞋，走进这条神的褶皱，让风吹醒你沉睡的感官。

When we were crossing the Sangke grassland, we passed by the Guomang Wetland and stopped to take a look. We first walked along a long plank road and saw another wetland in front of us. The ordinary scenery looked particularly beautiful under the bright sunshine, and it was a good place to take pictures.

Lazikou is a natural and dangerous place, a red place. This year marks the 90th anniversary of the victory of Lazikou. We come here to remember the martyrs, learn the Red Army’s spirit of forging ahead bravely, keep our original aspirations in mind, and pay tribute to the heroes!

The scenery is magnificent, with different views at different times of day. In the early morning, there is a thin mist, at noon you can appreciate the clear texture of the stone city and the fluttering prayer flags, and at dusk you can see the golden sunset over the mountains and the wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys. Every scene is like a poem or a painting.
