Wumeng Grassland

#cherryblossom2024 #Guizhou #WumengGrassland #PlateauDwarfAzaleas Guizhou's Wumeng Prairie transforms into a colorful wonderland in spring, especially enchanting with its blooming plateau dwarf azaleas. Covering forty thousand acres, these azaleas create a mesmerizing sea of flowers, transporting visitors into a fairy-tale realm. Each azalea is a masterpiece of nature, with layers of delicate petals surrounding bright yellow stamens, emitting a gentle fragrance. Despite their small stature, the azaleas exhibit various postures—some standing tall, as if saluting the sun, while others bow or huddle together as if sharing secrets. The Wumeng Prairie offers a unique and charming floral display, inviting every visitor to marvel at its beauty. Here, amidst the grandeur of the prairie, you can witness the delicate and enchanting allure of the plateau dwarf azaleas, experiencing nature's magic and the rejuvenating spirit of spring in a serene and picturesque setting away from the hustle and bustle.

Originally, I wanted to see the late blooming azaleas in Wumeng, but who knew the flowers would wither so quickly this year? There were no late blooms left, only a few clusters remaining in the deep mountain gullies. In Wumeng, during neither the lush grass nor the abundant water season, the grass facing the sun is wheat-yellow (the side away from the sun can still be green), and the water in the Heavenly Pool is only half full. It's unlikely to produce the popular photos seen online. It's worth mentioning that this season also has winds that can rival the devilish gales of the deserts in the Northwest, which nearly flipped me over several times. Little advice: 🟢 When there is no sunshine on the mountain, it's a bit cold, and you need to wear cotton clothes, the kind that you would wear in cold weather. No wonder everyone comes here in summer to escape the heat; the name of Liupanshui as a 'cool city' is indeed well-deserved. 🟢 You must drive yourself. After entering the main gate, you can drive and take photos as you please, emphasizing freedom without constraints. Just a bit of social morality to protect the environment and animals is enough. The scenic area signs will tell you not to ride private horses, but the locals are actually very honest and enthusiastic. For ten or twenty yuan, you can ride a pony once, without any deception. They allow you to lead and take photos at will, which I personally think is very nice. 🟢 The best way to handle the strong winds is to take continuous shots for the atmosphere, and then pick a few photos afterwards to make a naturally beautiful set. For sunrise/sunset, you must climb to the mountaintop viewing platform. Standing high, you see far, and any shot you take looks good.

The wild high mountain rhododendrons, the splendid sea of clouds at sunrise, made me feel as if I had arrived at the Tianshan Mountains... As a Guizhou native who has seen various sizes of rhododendron scenes, I thought I would no longer be shocked by any rhododendron seas, until I came to the Wumeng Prairie.

The scenic area is vast and boundless, with a hundred thousand acres of highland grassland, like a huge green carpet, affectionately called the 'grassland carpet' by the local people. I strongly recommend that you visit between April and October. Starting in April, the hillsides are covered with blooming wild azaleas, like a beautiful painting meticulously crafted by nature's artist. At the mountaintop, rows of spectacular windmills rotate in the wind, complementing the Bijie Hundred-Mile Azalea Scenic Area, forming a breathtaking landscape. There's no need to travel far to Tibet or Inner Mongolia, as Guizhou Wumeng can satisfy all your grassland fantasies.

Speaking of the grassland, I think everyone will think of the northwest in the first reaction, but for a person living in the south, it takes too long to go to the northwest, and the expenses are also quite large. Even so, there is no place in the heart. The illusion of going through the prairie is a rush, and this trip to Guizhou has come unexpectedly with the Wumeng Prairie in the southwest of Guizhou. It was particularly surprising to hear that there was a prairie in Guizhou. The impression of Guizhou has always been a landscape painting. I never thought that it would have a plateau grassland. Wumeng Mountain stretches between Guizhou and Yunnan provinces. It has a wide geographical area and is magnificent. The Wumen Prairie also belongs to a part of the Wumen Mountain. The Wumen prairie belongs to the high altitude area of Panbei, with a maximum elevation of 2,857 meters, which is the second highest peak in Guizhou. "Five ridges smashed the waves, and Wumeng took the mud balls." Chairman Mao said here in the poem "The Seven Laws and Long March". Wumeng Grassland covers an area of about 90 square kilometers. It is a magnificent scenic spot with a beautiful grassland, plateau lake, mountain azalea, magical Buddha light and many other attractions. Driving slowly on the mountain road, the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and the endless grass sea and the flocks of cattle and sheep gathered together to form a beautiful picture. Everything here is so free, fresh air, beautiful The scenery makes people forget the embarrassment in the city. Many wind power towers were built on the panshan road. They are towering in the sky, and the white blades are lightly rotating under the blue sky, which has become a landscape here.

The terrain of Guizhou is high in the west and low in the east. The Liupanshui city in the west is the cool capital of China, which is most suitable for summer vacation. The Wumeng Prairie in Panzhou, which is close to Yunnan, is also known as the Slope Grassland. It is one of the highest altitude and largest plateau pastures in the Southwest. The altitude here is between 2000 meters and 2857 meters, and the annual average temperature is 11.1 degrees. The Wumeng prairie scenic area is very large, with 178 square kilometers, with different scenery all year round. There are tens of thousands of acres of alpine rhododendrons in the spring, and the mountains are all colorful. In summer, the grass is turned into a ski resort in the winter, and there are spectacular wind turbines on the rolling hills. Driving a special grassland motorcycle from the grassland, the gentle soft sister has become heroic and full of pride. Changhaizi is also called Tianchi. It is 2000 meters long and 300 meters wide. It is crystal clear and is the highest lake in Guizhou. The weather on the mountain is changing rapidly. A cloud floats over, the mountain peaks looming, and the wind blows into blue sky and white clouds. Wumeng Prairie has a total investment of 1 billion yuan, which is positioned to integrate landscapes, grasslands, flower seas, canyons, villages, flowing clouds, Buddha light and other beautiful scenery to create a unique plateau in western China and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Features ethnic customs and scenic spots. The scenery on the grassland is everywhere, you can drive in, there are also walking on the wooden plank road and observation deck, and the 100,000-mu plateau grassland is endless.

The Wumeng Prairie is one of the highest and largest mountain pastures in the Southwest. The highest altitude is 2,857 meters, which is the second highest peak in Guizhou. Wumeng prairie has a unique scenery, that is, grassland Buddha light. If calculated in days, the number of Fo Guang in the grassland on the slope is at least 30 days per year. If it is calculated in the number of occurrences, there are at least 60 times per year. Although I have never seen Buddha light this time, I have seen the beautiful landscape of the misty clouds.

The prairie seems to have always been attached to the vast expanse of flat land, and the Wumeng Prairie told me with its silent beauty that the grassland is not a plain patent. As one of the highest altitude and the largest plateau grassland in the Southwest, the Wumen Prairie is the most beautiful and beautiful. The altitude is doomed to be extraordinary. The highest altitude here is 2,857 meters, with an average elevation of 2,500 meters. The annual average temperature is 11.1 °C, so it is a good place for summer vacation. Unlike the flat pastures, the vast land is unobstructed. The Wumeng steppe has rolling grassland and gentle low hills. The locals call it slopes on the grassland, which has formed a unique beauty because of the changes. The monsoon brings the ocean's water vapor into a cloud that meets here and changes, so that every day can know a different Wumeng steppe.
