At six o'clock in the morning, sleeping until you wake up naturally is the best day to sleep in the past few days. I made my own porridge, celery egg pie, and ate a comfortable breakfast.

Ruoerge grassland is known as "the oasis of the northwest Sichuan plateau" and is one of the three major wetlands in China. With a total area of about 53,000 square kilometers, it is the second largest grassland in China after the Hulunbuir grassland. Starting from The Town of Tangke, driving on National Highway 248, the rolling mountains, vast grasslands and meandering rivers constitute a unique beauty of the Ruoerge Grassland.

Drive 100 kilometers to reach the Huahu Lake Scenic Area. Because I understand that there are no flowers in the flower lake, there is only a lake, there is no road for pedestrians, and you must take a shuttle bus. Scenic tickets and shuttle bus 110 yuan, people who have been there feel regret. So I chose not to enter the scenic spot and found a real sea of flowers nearby. I met a family of three locals who had just sent away distant relatives in their own pasture. It was very welcoming to see us, and I could take pictures and enjoy the beauty in his free pasture. Colorful flowers bloom warmly, flowers like the sea, vast and vast. Ruoerge's stunning is definitely worthy of the "most beautiful grassland".

Walk through the Ruoerge Grassland, through the rolling mountains, stacked green peaks, travel 100 kilometers, to reach the Zagana scenic spot.

"Zagana" is a Tibetan word meaning "stone box" located in Yiwa Township, 34 kilometers northwest of Diebu County. Steep and beautiful, like a massive stone palace, this hideaway was hailed by Locke as the birthplace of Adam and Eve nearly a hundred years ago. There are several observation decks in the scenic area, and you can see different scenery at different angles and at different times. Looking down at Zagana, I suddenly felt like I was in a fairyland, and any verbal description was pale.

In order to watch the sunrise smoothly the next morning, I parked my car in the observation deck parking lot at the top of the hill. Sleeping in a bedchamber and reminiscing about the day's journey is really from one wonderland to another. The bright moonlight outside the car and the hazy mountains feel more dreamlike and infinitely beautiful.
