The Maoya Prairie in western Sichuan is absolutely stunning.

【Location】 The Maoya Prairie is located on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, at an altitude of about 3,800 meters. It is one of the most beautiful alpine meadows in Asia. It is about 700 kilometers from Chengdu and is an important stop on the western Sichuan loop. It is also a must-pass route to Daocheng Yading. 【Attraction Introduction】 When you step into this vast green world, you will be attracted by its original and pure breath. In the summer, various wild flowers bloom on the grassland, the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the herds of cattle and sheep nearby, as if you are in a flowing picture scroll. In autumn, the golden grassland and the blue sky and white clouds complement each other, making people intoxicated. 【Transportation Strategy】 The best way to go to Maoya Prairie is to drive by yourself or charter a car. Depart from Chengdu, drive west along the Yakang Expressway to Kangding, then turn into National Highway G318, and continue to Litang County. If you choose public transportation, you can take a plane or train to Chengdu first, and then take a long-distance bus to Litang. It takes about an hour to drive from Litang County to Maoya Prairie. 【Accommodation Recommendation】 Since the Maoya Prairie itself does not have large hotels, it is recommended that tourists choose to stay in Litang County or nearby towns. There are various accommodation options here, ranging from economy hotels to characteristic homestays. If you want to experience Tibetan customs, you might as well try the local family hotel, where you can not only get close to Tibetan culture, but also taste authentic Tibetan meals! 【Nearby Attractions】 In addition to the Maoya Prairie itself, there are many places worth visiting nearby. For example, the famous Daocheng Yading National Park, which has shocking natural scenery; and Xinduqiao, known as the "paradise of photographers", is an ideal place to shoot plateau scenery; and Tagong Prairie, which is one of the best places to watch Gongga Snow Mountain.
