Want a taste of the oriental nomadic life? Here is the perfect destination for you! The Hongyuan Grassland in Aba Prefecture, southwest China’s Sichuan Province offers charming views all year round, from a snow-covered expanse in the winter to endless waving meadows in the summer.

Interestingly, Hongyuan Grassland (which literally means red prairie) got its name from a historical event, the Long March. In the 1930s, when the Long March took place, the depopulated prairie was no more than a swampy land associated with a perilous climate and starvation. To memorialize the great trek, the late Premier, Zhou Enlai, named this place the "Red Plain" in honor of the Red Army.#LongMarch
