Changpu Grassland
菖蒲盖
A 100,000-mu alpine meadow at an average elevation of about 1,400 meters, dotted with karst peaks rising from grass like islands. Free camping and cloud-sea views make it a summer retreat in southeastern Chongqing.
Changpu Grassland lies in the Changpugai Mountains and spans several townships, including Shuangquan, Huatian, Cangling and Heishui. Its alpine meadow covers 100,000 mu, at an average elevation of about 1,400 meters, and midsummer temperatures average about 20°C. Karst peaks stand scattered among the grass. On the eastern cliffs you can watch the sunrise over a sea of clouds, and the night sky is excellent for stargazing. Entry is currently free, and you can camp with your own tent or rent one on site. Toilets and supply points are few, so bring plenty of water and a windproof jacket. It is about 1.5 hours' drive from the county seat. The map pin marks an estimated location in the middle of the grassland.
