On the third day, we had old Chengdu Sichuan cuisine near Huahu for lunch and Mayan hotpot in Songpan for dinner. On the fourth day, we had Sichuan cuisine in Pingwu for lunch and Shoucai Lu roast duck at Wanda for dinner. Our Attractions and Activities: We visited Moon Bay, wore Tibetan clothes, went to the Hongyuan viewing platform, visited the Ruoergai Grassland (a vast expanse), saw marmots (didn't feed them), rode horses (it's cheaper to ride near the road by the First Bend of the Yellow River, and the grassland is flat, 10 yuan for two laps, 60 yuan for an hour; it's very expensive on the Hongyuan section, 15-30 yuan per lap of 400m, prices increase with distance), watched the sunset, saw the sunrise, visited Huahu (110 yuan per person, not worth it), went to the viewing platform of Yuntu Hotel opposite the First Bend of the Yellow River (if you want to see the sunrise and sea of clouds, go to the viewing platform inside the First Bend of the Yellow River, although it's a bit expensive, it's worth it; you can't see the sunrise and sea of clouds from Yuntu Hotel, only the light from the sun, as the sunrise and sea of clouds are blocked by mountains), visited Songpan Ancient Town, went to Chuanzhusi, and passed by Huanglong Yaocih. Warm Tips: We set off at 7 am on July 31 and returned via Pingwu on August 3. We don't recommend this route for sedans or cars with low chassis, as there are many sections with hollow road surfaces and many pits caused by falling rocks. Sometimes rocks fall from the mountains, and Pingwu has a lot of rain at this time. It's better to take a detour if possible and go after August for your safety!
