Menyuan Hundred-Mile Rapeseed Flower Sea Scenic Area

　　The rapeseed flowers of Menyuan are located in Menyuan County, Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. As a major oilseed production area in Qinghai Province and the northwest region, the rapeseed flowers here have become a beautiful and spectacular man-made landscape. Moreover, the rapeseed fields span a vast area: they stretch from Qingshizui by the Haomen River in the west to Yulongtan by the Datong River in the east, from the Lenglong Ridge bordering Gansu Province in the north to the towering Dabanshan Mountain in the south, extending for dozens of kilometers. In summer, visiting Menyuan Hui Autonomous County in Qinghai is like stepping into a naturally formed oil painting.

　　As a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, it is the largest rapeseed flower sea in China, the birthplace of small rapeseed in northern China, and also an important production base for bee products in the country, with contiguous planting covering over 300,000 mu. Each year, the "land art" landscapes created by planting highland barley and rapeseed form a window showcasing the wonders of the flower sea, which are widely favored by tourists. Thanks to this, the Hundred-Mile Rapeseed Flower Sea Scenic Area has successively won honors such as “China’s Most Beautiful Rapeseed Flower Sea,” “China’s Most Beautiful Grassland,” and “Top Ten Most Breathtaking Flower Seas in the World.”
