Huā'ér Gōu
Huā'ér Gōu is situated in the low mountainous zone of the Sangong River Basin, boasting an expansive terrain with rolling and meandering topography. The area is primarily known for its low mountain grasslands and geological formations. In spring, it transforms into a sea of flowers, earning the nickname “Valley of a Myriad Blossoms.” The valley is home to ancient elm trees, secondary forests, birch groves, and shrubs. The mountain terraces feature drip irrigation systems and natural grasslands. From the mountain entrance to the Shixia Gorge, the Sangong River successively exposes Cenozoic, Mesozoic, and Paleozoic strata. Within a span of less than 20 kilometers, nearly 350 million years of Earth’s history are revealed, with striking geological sections forming a veritable “tunnel through time.” The Huā'ér Gōu scenic area offers recreational activities such as skiing (or grass skiing) fields.
