Zhuoxi Ranch - October 13, 2024.

Autumn is here, and viewing autumn scenery and admiring red leaves and ginkgo trees have become the main activities for everyone's weekends. There are many places around Chengdu to experience the autumn scenery. Located more than 130 kilometers from Chengdu in the Wolong Nature Reserve, Zhuoxi Ranch is very suitable for viewing larch forests and red leaf forests. The altitude here is 2,600-3,000 meters. It is a national nature reserve. The vegetation here is relatively rich, and many national rare animals and plants live here. It allows everyone to feel the "unlimited scenery in the dangerous peaks". The beautiful ranch scenery here is all hidden in the mountains. In early summer, you can see cattle and sheep slowly eating grass under the blue sky and white clouds, and you can also see colorful wild flowers embellishing the green carpet. By the end of October, the red leaf forests all over the mountains will be dyed with the rise of the altitude. A large number of national rare wild animals live around the ranch, which is one of the areas with the most and best preserved ancient species in the world. Especially after the 5.12 earthquake, all the Jiarong Tibetans living around the ranch moved down the mountain, and the ecological environment around the ranch was further restored. The locals call Zhuoxi Ranch the "Little Tagong Grassland". It is said that if you are lucky, you can see the footprints of pandas. We were fortunate to see a panda that day, and it was very cooperative with our lens. Zhuoxi Ranch is a place with green mountains and clear water. There are blue sky and green grass, and cattle and sheep all over the mountains. After work, calm down, come here to bask in the sun and listen to the wind. Between heaven and earth, the wind is clear and the clouds are light, isn't it another kind of comfort?
