Closer than Tibet and more beautiful than New Zealand. Chongqing is a beautiful grassland.

I dream of going to Tibet.

Look at the snowy plateau covered with flowers.

Let’s go to Dali.

Listen to the wind in Erhai Lake and watch the clouds in Cangshan Mountain.

But Tibet is too far away and Dali is getting more and more noisy.

We need a new place to dream.

Unknown, but it can satisfy all your travel fantasies!

For example, Chongqing Hongchiba!

It is quieter and calmer than Dali, and closer than paradise Tibet.

There are plateau grasslands here that are comparable to New Zealand.

The beautiful sea of ??flowers in Hokkaido!

The scenery is different throughout the year.

Every season is enough to be stunning~

In spring, flowers bloom like a sea.

Some people compare Hongchi Dam to Hokkaido, Japan. Maybe you have been to Hokkaido, a neat and quiet town full of stars and flowers. So charming. But in fact, you don’t need to go abroad to see the sea of ??flowers, Hongchiba can also satisfy you!

After the cold wind in January, the spring rain in February and the momentum of March, this place will become a sea of ??azaleas.

Clusters and clusters of azaleas decorate the green mountains and waters in a dazzling and picturesque way, which is pleasing to the eye and refreshing.

Of course, only the cuckoo is lonely, the purple lavender.

Colorful gesang, fresh wildflowers and warm sunflowers.

Looking back at the past, I concentrated on the mountains and clouds; when I turned around, I left behind a sea of ??flowers.

In summer, the sky is covered with green grass.

In summer, Hongchiba becomes "New Zealand" again, a vast alpine grassland full of cattle and sheep. There is no scorching sun and no cold wind. It's a green season!

There is no hustle and bustle of the city, no high-rise buildings, no steel and concrete, only green grass. This is like a paradise that humans have not yet set foot on. It's so charming

Lying on the ground and looking up at the blue sky of Hongchiba, you can really feel what the ancients called a round place.

Have close contact with cattle, sheep and ponies, and even gallop on the grassland of Hongchiba.

This place gives people the feeling of peace and tranquility like a paradise. Sitting on the grass in the breeze, looking at the mountains and white clouds in the distance, and looking at the nearby cattle and sheep, you will calm down without any chicken soup for the soul.

Throughout the summer, Hongchi Dam is like an oil painting rendered in green. Blue sky, white clouds, and grassland surround your entire field of vision!

In autumn, the sky is gray and the fields are vast.

When you feel the autumn mood getting stronger, the dam is covered with blue sky and yellow leaves, which is as beautiful as poetry!

In autumn, the sea of ??clouds in Hongchiba is boundless, the horizon is vast, and the forests are dyed. It is a grassland scenery of "the sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the wind blows the grass and cattle and sheep are low"

Late autumn Hongchi Dam is like an oil painting. Maybe you have seen that lifelike oil painting on paper, but unfortunately you forgot that it is actually a sketch of a real scene. Hongchiba is an oil painting that comes off the paper!

In winter, the first snowfield in South China.

Winter is the first snowy winter in South China. Hongchiba is covered in silver, and the mountains are dancing in silver, just like wax statues.

The snow has lasted for more than 80 days, and the snow thickness in Tianzicheng, Yinchangping and other scenic spots can reach 50-80 cm, which can be called the "No. 1 ski resort in South China"

Hongchiba, which is beautiful all year round, is called "Wuxi Hongchiba National Forest Park". It is located in the northwest of Wuxi County, Chongqing City, about 84 kilometers away from Wuxi County.

In the southwest, people are accustomed to calling open flat land "Bazi", so there are many place names with the word "Bazi" in Chongqing. But Red Pond Dam is more than just flat land.

Chiba is a prairie on the plateau. Standing on the prairie and looking from east to west, you can enjoy an endless view. It deserves to be called the "first alpine grassland" in the south. What’s more, there are six charming scenery here!

Haiyun

Haiyun Flower Sea Scenic Area has 10,000 acres of flower fields. It is the largest and most beautiful flower sea landscape in high-altitude areas in the world, with an area seven times that of Hokkaido, Japan.

A variety of flowers are covered with ribbons, colorful and mottled. The ribbons are spread on the grass like many silks, forming a colorful ocean under the rolling mountains.

Some flower fields are simply composed in strips. The overwhelming domineeringness gives people a rich reverie, more like a huge stream of light, making the colors magnificent. Here you can see everything at a glance.

There are also undulating mountains, dotted with satin-like flowers, at a distance, like a flowing movement, expressing the elegance and fragrance of flowers. The flowers are blooming and the wild scenery is full of charm, which makes people dream.

Three Color Pools

There are also three pools here. Although they are not far apart, the colors are naturally different. The water in the three pools is red, blue and black.

The water in the red pond is like clouds, the water in the clear pond is like indigo, and the water in the black pond is like ink. The current name of Hongchi Dam is named after Hongchi. Each pool is like a gem on this prairie.

Hongyun Chiwu

Hongchiba is full of rain and fog, and it is often difficult to distinguish between rain and fog. On rainy mornings in spring and autumn, the grassland is filled with thick fog, making it difficult to distinguish people three or five steps away.

However, if you climb to the top of the mountain, you will find a beautiful sky above the thick fog and sea of ??clouds. It's really "half foggy", it seems like there is no sunshine but the sun is shining brightly.

Tian Zi Sunrise

The magnificent sunrise can be seen from any high position on the dam with a wide view. However, the best place to watch the sunrise is in the east of Tianzicheng Grassland, at the top of Tianzicheng, about 2500.7 meters above sea level.

Western sunset

Beautiful sunset scenery can be seen everywhere in Hongba, but the best place is Liuxi Creek, Wuwei Tourism Network, where the late frost spreads all over the grassland. Heaven, earth and people are integrated into one, the scenery is picturesque and full of charm.

Xia Bing Cave

Every midsummer, the summer sun shines brightly outside the cave, but icicles stand inside the cave, making it very cold. In the middle of winter, it's freezing outside the cave, but inside the cave is ice cream, as warm as spring.
