Ruoergai: The first bend of the Yellow River, the green

Ruoergai is a stop worth making a special stop on the grasslands of northwest Sichuan. For 3 days and 2 nights, between the Ruoergai Grassland and the first bend of the Yellow River's bend, you encounter the unique atmosphere of Ruoergai.

The first impression Ruoergai gives is almost always from the Ruoergai Grasslands. When it actually appears before your eyes, the imagination in the picture suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.

When it comes to Ruoergai, locals first mention the first bend of the Yellow River's nine bends. Only after experiencing it do you realize that landmarks are never isolated scenery, but the entrance to an entire section of life.

Another side of Ruoergai is hidden in the flower lake. With less crowd from tourists and more daily warmth, you suddenly feel as if you've briefly become one of the people here.

If you have the energy, go take a stroll around the Ger Dam. There's no standard answer there, only your own pace, just enough to fill your itinerary perfectly.

Ruoergai taught me one thing: you don't have to chase after every sight, just as the Ruoergai grasslands taught me—the best scenery is often where you're willing to stop and look at it carefully.
