Main shooting point

Awancang wetland

Avancang Prairie, Kamu Road in Goncer and Avancang Monastery to be visited in Avancang Scenic Area. Under the blue sky, endless green grasslands, white sheep and black yaks are bit by bit and carefree; On the grassland, streams bend vertically and horizontally, and swamps shine silver in the sun, which is beautiful; Pastoral poems float from time to time in the distance, and the authentic Tibetan language is simple; Everything is so quiet and harmonious, there are endless pictures everywhere. There is nothing here but nature. It has been like this for thousands of years. History has changed, and Awancang grassland is still far away from the noise of the city, without the pollution of modern civilization.

Lian Bao ye ze

In Chinese, "Lianbao Yeze" means Jade Peak with dignity, which is usually called Shibao or Shishan by the people. Lianbaoye is a magnificent world of strange peaks and rocks, and it is an art palace, where the mountains are majestic and full of masculinity; The mountain is very big and endless; The lake is dotted with silver waterfalls.

Heishuinaizigou

Nizigou is located between the main road from Heishui to Marcand, which is connected with Hongyuan Prairie. It is one of the largest scenic spots of red leaves in China, and it is also the most spectacular landscape when it is open. It is the largest 80-mile natural color forest in Asia and enjoys the reputation of 80-mile gallery.

Jiuqu Yellow River Diyiwan

Located in the National Alpine Wetland Reserve, this place is the hometown of Hequ Horse, the three famous horses in China. As the saying goes, Chinese and foreign tourists who don't want to go to the Yellow River will enjoy the scenery of the first bay of the Yellow River as soon as possible. It is best to shoot the first bay of the Yellow River at sunset, climb a high slope on the side of the road and face west. The S-shaped Yellow River glows with red phosphorescence in the sunset, and the best shooting time is when the sun sets on the horizon. In addition, there is a temple "Tangkesuoke Tibetan Temple", and there is a Tibetan village near the Yellow River, where Tibetan folk customs can be photographed. There is also a piece of prayer flags on the river bank, which adds a bit of mystery to the beautiful First Bay of the Yellow River.

Zagana

Zhagana Mountain is steep and misty, just like a fairyland. The reasonable collocation and complementary integration of nomadic, farming, hunting, firewood collection and other production activities in Tibetan villages have become a model of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The mountains are steep and beautiful, just like a huge stone palace. Although this paradise was praised by Locke as the birthplace of Adam and Eve nearly a hundred years ago, it is still a virgin land.
