I arrived at the top of the mountain early in the morning before dawn! It was to see the sunrise here! But the pervasive fog told us that we wouldn't be able to see the sunrise today... However, I saw a meadow as beautiful as a fairyland! This is the highland meadow located in Liupanshui, Guizhou! Wumeng Mountain Prairie! Although I missed the sunrise Seeing the cattle and sheep grazing leisurely on the meadow in the early morning The horses walking through the mist And the meadow as beautiful as a fairyland All of this was quite worth it!

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.

🌟 Highlight features: The Wumeng Prairie, a grassland on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, lacks tall grasses but boasts astonishing meadows. Visiting here, one will be deeply moved. You can ride horses, shoot arrows, ski, and even go for a thrilling mountain karting experience. The alpine lakes also join in the fun, offering breathtaking beauty that's beyond words.

On the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in Southwest China, there lies a vast expanse of green ocean—the Wumeng Grand Prairie. This place is shrouded in mystery, attracting countless tourists with its unique natural scenery and rich ethnic customs. Here is my personal experience on the Wumeng Grand Prairie. First encounter with Wumeng: After hours of bumpy driving, I finally arrived at the long-awaited Wumeng Grand Prairie. Standing on the high viewing platform, I looked out over the rolling green grasslands that stretched to the horizon, with distant mountains like a serpentine dragon quietly guarding this land. The air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and grass, compelling me to take deep breaths, as if I could integrate the pure essence of this place into my body. Strolling on the prairie: I took off my shoes and stepped barefoot onto the soft grass, feeling the warmth and embrace of nature with every step. Wildflowers on the prairie competed in beauty, while butterflies and bees busied themselves among the flowers. Occasionally, herdsmen passed by with their horses, their faces brimming with simple smiles, inviting me to join them in the exhilarating experience of galloping across the prairie. Ethnic customs: At the edge of the prairie, there were scattered Yi ethnic villages. I was drawn by the melodious sound of flutes and followed it to a village. The villagers warmly invited me to join their dance. Dressed in traditional attire, they held hands and formed a circle, dancing the joyful pot dance. I tried to join them, and although my steps were clumsy, I felt a sense of release and joy I had never experienced before. Sunset glow: As the sun gradually set, the sky began to dazzle. I sat on the prairie, watching the clouds at the horizon turn gold, purple, pink... breathtakingly beautiful. Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and all worries and noise disappeared with the sunset into the horizon. Camping under the starry sky: Night fell, and I set up my tent on the prairie. Lying inside, looking up at the starry sky through the transparent top, the myriad of stars were like twinkling gems hanging in the profound night sky. Here, I felt as if I could hear the voice of the universe, the rhythm of nature. Conclusion: On the day I left the Wumeng Grand Prairie, I carried with me a heart full of memories and reluctance. Every inch of this land, every flower, every smiling face was deeply etched in my heart. The Wumeng Grand Prairie is not only a visual feast but also a baptism of the soul. If you yearn to touch nature and find inner peace, then Wumeng Grand Prairie will undoubtedly be your perfect choice.
