Speaking of the four words "national parks",
I'm afraid that the first thing that many people think of is Yellowstone National Park in the United States.
As a classic representative of the American travel destination,
Yellowstone is truly a worthwhile place for everyone who travels to the United States.
It not only has the largest forest in the world,
And also a collection of volcanoes, hot springs,
A variety of large wild animals and other characteristic landscapes.
But a trip to the United States costs a lot.
And if the itinerary is generally tight,
It's hard to get around Yellowstone.
However, within the mainland,
There are eight national parks,
It is also a place that foreign travelers yearn for,
Countless domestic and foreign tourists come to these parks every year,
The beautiful and magical scenery is not inferior to Yellowstone Park.
01 Kuqa Grand Canyon National Geopark
Kuqa Grand Canyon is located in Kuqa County, Aksu Region, Xinjiang, north of the Tianshan Mountains, south of the Tarim Basin, with a total area of 108 square kilometers. It is characterized by canyons developed in red sandstone in the Cenozoic, and other Quaternary glacial remains and Yadan landform landscapes. The canyon is composed of red sandstone formation fold structure of the continental Cenozoic conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone and other rock layers under arid climatic conditions, under the action of seasonal water flow, the formation of labyrinth canyons and castle-like mountains.
Kuqa Grand Canyon, also known as the 'Tianshan Mysterious Grand Canyon', and the locals are accustomed to calling it 'Kyzyl Valley', because in the Uyghur language Kyzyliya means red cliff.
Whenever the sun comes out, under the oblique illumination of the sunlight, the cliffs of the entire canyon to the sun are dyed blood red, and the scenery is extremely gorgeous and shocking, at this time, the camera is raised, and it is a big piece.
In the valley where the sun cannot directly shine, the sunlight rays will be refracted into the valley floor or cave through the gaps in the rock formations, at this time, at different times or at different angles, the rock formations will show various depths of red, as if in a colorful magic world, like the famous Antelope Valley in the United States.

03 Pangong lake national forest park
On the way from Shiquan River to Dorma, there is a lake called Pangong Lake, also known as Bangong Wrong. In Tibetan, it is called Komuk Gona Lama, which means "bright and narrow lake".
Pangong Lake is located about 12 kilometers northwest of the county seat of Ritu County in the Ali region, with an area of 604 square kilometers.
The most peculiar thing about the lake is that it is a lake with different salt content from east to west, that is, the lake water is salty in the east, fresh water in the continental control area, and the surrounding water and grass are abundant, while the Indian control area is salt water, and there is no grass around it.
China's garrison at Pangong Lake is a special squadron of a division of the Ali Military Sub-district in Xinjiang, which is known as the "National Gate Fleet on the Top of the Mountain", and some media have called it the "West Sea Fleet".
The wrong Indian control side of Bangong is the filming location of the finale of the famous Indian movie "Three Fools Bollywood". I believe that friends who have seen this movie are all shocked by the beauty of the Pangong Lake area in the movie.
04 Pudatso National Forest Park
Pudatso National Park is located in the heart of the World Natural Heritage Site in Northwest Yunnan, consisting of two parts: the Internationally Important Wetland Bita Hai Nature Reserve and the Shudu Lake Scenic Area of the Haba Area of the "Three Rivers Flowing Together" World Natural Heritage Site, with bita Sea, Shudu Lake and Tibetan Cultural Natural Village as the main components, and is also one of the main attractions of Shangri-La tourism.
Between 3500 meters and 4159 meters, Pudatso Park is a provincial nature reserve and an important part of the "Three Parallel Rivers" scenic spot
Pudatso National Park has geological landforms, lakes and wetlands, forest meadows, river valleys and streams, rare animals and plants, etc., and the original ecological environment is well preserved
Pudatso National Forest Park is about 24 kilometers away from the urban center of Shangri-La City, with a total area of about 1,300 square kilometers. It has a sub-monsoon tropical climate and the best time to visit is from May to October.
The Bita Sea is famous for its rhododendron trees, and every May and June the rhododendrons bloom, the petals fall into the lake, and the fish will turn over and float to the surface, called "cuckoo drunken fish".
I heard that there is a rare fish called "Bita Heavy Lip Fish" growing in the Bita Sea, which is a very old fish, an ancient creature left over from the Ice Age, with tender flesh and delicious taste. Pudatso belongs to the Tibetan area, Tibetans practice heavenly burial and water burial, because fish eat human flesh, so Tibetans do not eat fish, and worship it as a divine fish. Since the Beta Heavy Lip Fish lives mainly in deeper areas, people who can see it are very lucky people.

05 Changbaishan National Forest Park
Changbai Mountain has the beautiful meaning of "long keep, to white head". It is a holy mountain of love! Beautiful scenery and amazing views. It is named for its main peak, Changbai Mountain, which is full of white pumice stones and snow.
In spring, the birds return and the ice and snow melt; in summer, everything turns green and full of life; in autumn, golden mountains and wild, deciduous leaves; in winter, snow is white, and everything sleeps.
Tianchi is the most famous attraction of Changbai Mountain, and it is also a must-visit place for people to visit Changbai Mountain. Tianchi is really worth seeing, and the scenery seen at that glance is more shocking than all the pictures that the poor imagination dreams.
People who have been to Changbai Mountain are fascinated by the magnificent and rushing Changbai Waterfall! The silver stream seemed to fall from the sky, and the ground fell like thunder. Changbai Waterfall is located on the north side of Tianchi, at the end of the Cha River.
The most typical primary forest of Changbai Mountain is the "underground forest", where ancient pines and boulders are scattered, which is the lowest scenic area in Changbai Mountain. The entire valley bottom forest is in full view and the air is fresh.

The park covers the "Danxia" peak forest landscape, the Cenozoic sedimentary environment and sedimentary structure types, and the remains of geological ecological environment evolution over the past 38 million years.
The most important landscape in the scenic area is the reservoir and the surrounding Danxia landform, because it is in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the color of the water is still very turquoise, very clear, and the surrounding red cliffs combined with the scenery is very fantastic. In addition, the golden color of the trees in the mountains is also very beautiful in autumn.

07 Zhangjiajie National Forest Park
The natural scenery of Zhangjiajie National Park is amazing with peaks, valleys and forests. There are more than 3,000 strange peaks in between, and these stone peaks are like people like beasts, like utensils like things, with realistic images and spectacular momentum.
Canyons between the peaks, babbling streams, and shade for the sun. It is known as "three thousand strange peaks, eight hundred beautiful waters".
Zhangjiajie has the blessing of hazy fog, beautiful as a fairyland. Clouds, peaks, streams, echoes..... Everything here is so unique and so comfortable.
All the way to the peak circuit, the Cliff of Cangshan Mountain turns with the peak, the dazzling scenery is overwhelmed, coupled with the gentle breeze, there are wisps of light fragrance in the air, so it is not comfortable.

08 Narathi National Forest Park
Narathi Grassland, also known as Gongnais Grassland, Turkic meaning "Baiyang Slope", in the east of Xinyuan Narathi Town, about 70 kilometers from the county seat of Xinyuan county in Ili, located on the northern slope of Narathi Mountain, is a mountainous grassland developed on the Paleocracuse of the Tertiary Period.
Every July, hundreds of acres of rape flowers will be carpeted in front of tourists, and a large area of gold sets off the green hills in the distance, green, yellow and blue, which is a pure and beautiful unique scenery of Tawusani at this time.
Stroll through the forest park, lined with lush snow-capped spruce trees, and turn left and right on an asphalt road, unable to see the scenery ahead. I just feel that everything is so mysterious, waiting for tourists to explore.
The aerial grassland is beautiful every season, and the most beautiful time is around May and June, when the wildflowers on the slopes of the mountains cover the grassland with various colors. From a distance, it is full of strange colors.
