Red grassland

Sangdui town is located 28km northwest of Daocheng County. The pasture is spread out along the road, and the river flows through it quietly. In the distance, villages, herdsmen, cattle and sheep are scattered among the rolling mountains, presenting a peaceful and peaceful scene.

On the way from Daocheng to sangdui, you will pass the famous "red grass Beach" in Daocheng. The seasonality of hongcaotan is very strong, it only appears in autumn every year, and the time is very short, only ten days (early October) can be seen. At that time, the lake and swamp were covered with red water plants, and a red scene came into view, warm and gorgeous, very intoxicating.

Red grassland

Located in Daocheng County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, from afar, a red scene came into my eyes. It was so warm, gorgeous and intoxicating. Under the background of yellow or green poplar, it is bright and charming. Short sighted, "the mountain is green, the heart is burning, and the mangroves are drunk in autumn." we roam in the small village by the highway, "red Grassland" is playing an intoxicating red melody in the sun. I really want to use the famous line of Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu, and also shout "stop and sit, love red grassland, frost leaf and red grass, October flower".

brief introduction

Taking photos of red grassland is a good way to keep memory. However, it's also different to have close contact with red grassland. Put down the camera, please squat on the edge of the red grass, and murmur heart to heart with red grass, found a red grass and Yunnan Zhongdian "chamaejasme" similar, the only difference is that red grass plant is smaller and thinner.

That red is not the bright red of a budding flower, nor the red of a blooming flower. It is the red of a fruit that has experienced wind and frost to absorb sunlight. It is full of freedom in its vigor and natural in its magnificence. It is very like an old man who is open-minded. After his life of "red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple", he is enjoying the freedom of thousands of frost days Suddenly, I understand that this is a kind of beauty, a kind of mellow and clear beauty. Life is colorful, life is polysemy, only like Daocheng's "red Grassland", experienced the sweet and sour life, will be gorgeous and moving life. The autumn wind caresses the poplar leaves and makes a rustling sound. The gorgeous red grass is burning like a piece of brilliant red glow, lying quietly in front of the small mountain village.

Scientific Research Report

The reason why plants turn from green to red is that the climate conditions in autumn promote the accumulation and change of sugar in leaves. Sugar accumulates into red pigment through complex reaction chain, which leads to red leaves in autumn, which is the sign of plant aging. Like plants, people also have "red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple", and also have their own "sour, sweet, bitter, salty and astringent", and they are writing their own life in different colors. If you are the gorgeous "red grass", how would you feel? Is it the youth who yearns for his brilliant passion? Is it a memory of the feat of fighting against the wind and rain? Is it full of the passion of life to continue to write their own magnificent poems? Or lie down in front of the yellow withered omen

Now the red grassland in sangdui town has been surrounded by a very small wall, and the admission fee is 10 yuan / time. The middle of October is the most beautiful time for the red grassland. If you are lucky, you can take some colors!

travel

Red grassland, blue sky, white clouds and the sun shining on the red grassland is very pleasing to the eye, but in a few days, the red grass has withered a lot, and the best viewing period of red grassland is about to pass. Several Tibetan children are still pestering about this and that, so they just go to the other side of the grassland. The other side of the grassland is facing the sun. The whole red grassland is in the backlight, and the leaves are bright In the light of the stone in the clear outline, the pond reflects the blue sky and white clouds, I lost no time to take a few pictures, feel the effect should be good. It's almost 5 o'clock, and the sun is close to the western mountain. Our car also arrived. We got off at the riverside bridge outside the county. Because it's located in the open area of the valley, the sun is still high in the sky. When taking photos on the plateau, we should pay attention to the surrounding environment and ground shape, and know where to take pictures first and then where to take pictures.

There are a lot of poplar trees on the river bank to the west of the bridge. We go down to the river valley from the bridge along a ladder. We should be careful that there is a Tibetan mastiff tied to the ladder. It should not be dangerous if we don't provoke it. The rainy season is over. There is little water in the river bed, and the river bed is full of sand and stones. A tourist in red clothes walks alone on the bank on the other side of the river, red clothes with ten yellow leaves At 6:15, the last sunshine of the day fell on the poplars and white pagodas near the bridge. We also pressed the last shutter in Daocheng. Walking on the North Street of the county, the mountains and sky in the East are red against the sunset.
