Zoigê County

A land of grassland and wetland in northwestern Sichuan, with the magnificent First Bend of the Yellow River and Flower Lake; the grasslands are loveliest in summer.

Zoigê County belongs to Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, on the eastern edge of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau where Sichuan, Gansu and Qinghai meet. The Zoigê Wetland is an important plateau wetland in China, and at Flower Lake the water and grass set each other off, with flowers blooming in summer. The First Bend of the Yellow River near Tangke Town is an excellent place for watching the sunset, the Rzi'e Grassland is vast and magnificent, and the Baxi Conference site records the history of the Red Army's Long March. Summer is the best travel season, and winter is cold. Change at Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport or Hongyuan Airport; self-driving makes touring easier.
