This is the western part of China, the most moderate altitude, the easiest to reach, and the largest alpine ecological grassland.

Compared to the mountains and forests in western Sichuan, Meng Huo City has a vast and rugged beauty.

In the middle of the grassland, there is a thousand-year-old dead tree, which is said to be the divine tree that helped Meng Huo, and it is also the divine tree that protects the villagers of Meng Huo City.

June and July are the most beautiful seasons in Meng Huo City.

It is always blue sky and white clouds, cattle and sheep in groups, the grassland is full of unknown yellow flowers. It is very much like the small yellow flowers in Jay’s lyrics.

Camping on the grassland, you can do nothing, just lie there and daze. Watch the clouds roll, watch the wind blow, and stir up waves of grass.

With the addition of the fragrance of flowers, the wind also begins to have a taste.

However, it is important to note that overnight camping is not allowed in Meng Huo City now. Therefore, friends who come here to camp can arrive early and seize the best afternoon time to enjoy themselves.

4. Deng Chi Gou

Deng Chi Gou is located in the Feng Tong Zhai Nature Reserve in Bao Xing County, Ya’an, at 30 degrees north latitude. Because few people know about it, it is a truly niche hidden gem.

The century-old Catholic church in the valley, which has a history of over 180 years, is one of the earliest Catholic churches in Sichuan.

Every table and chair in the church is a memory of history. The church also exhibits David’s life and the story of the giant panda, and it is also a good place to learn about them in your spare time.

And just during the recent May Day holiday, the camping craze also hit Deng Chi Gou.

5. Moon Lake

Ming Shan has always been an excellent place for leisure and vacation. Besides Mount Mengding, Ya Ya also recommends you to come to Moon Lake.

Moon Lake, as smooth as a mirror, with layers of tea gardens full of greenery, is like a piece of jade inlaid in the tea gardens, forming a beautiful landscape of “lake light and tea color”.

Compared to other camping sites, Moon Lake is more suitable for family trips. The camp here is open, safe and convenient, and there are many choices.

Find a grassy patch and set up a tent canopy, living by the lake. Under the twinkling lights, the evening wind blows, it is particularly comfortable.

Camping here, both adults and children have something to play.

You can go cycling around the lake on the greenway, there are greenways and hiking trails built all around the lake. It is recommended that you take the forest trails around the lake, the scenery is beautiful and close to nature.

The wedding photography base of the forest flower sea, carefully trimmed plants and flowers, and a western church, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers and tea sea, taking pictures is absolutely amazing.

Stroll through the tea gardens along the winding trails, sit by the lake, brew a cup of tea, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake, ideal life is nothing more than this.

Wang Yu Seazi Mountain, located in Yu Cheng District, Ya’an, is the largest alpine ecological wetland in Ya’an. It covers an area of over 1,000 mu, and is also an excellent place to play wild camping.

The wetland is mainly composed of three adjacent seazis, which are called “Da Hai Zi”, “Wang Hai Zi” and “Li Hai Zi” by the locals.

At a glance, it’s like being in a paradise. The lake water is clear and the scenery is lush green. The undeveloped Seazi Mountain still has the most natural flavor.

Over 1,000 mu of wetlands give you the illusion of being on a prairie. Occasionally, an egret flies by, giving you a feeling of the most harmonious relationship between humans and nature.

Here you don’t need to avoid the crowded crowd to take pictures at will. Look, any shot is a beautiful painting~
