My hometown is Maqu, the birthplace of Gesar, the first bend of the Yellow River. There are beautiful grassland scenery, mysterious legends and rich cultural heritage here, so it enjoys the reputation of "the first natural grassland in Asia".
In summer, it is best to take your family to the grassland. You see, the endless grassland is green, covered with all kinds of small flowers, red, green and yellow ... colorful, competing for beauty, really like an endless carpet! Herds of white sheep are running around. Isn't that a big white flower embroidered on the carpet? Breathing fresh air makes you relaxed and happy. Suddenly, there seems to be a silver belt across the grassland in the distance, which is the Yellow River. The clear river flows slowly, and sometimes there are fish swimming around. The Yellow River is really like our kind mother, feeding children of all ethnic groups with her own milk for thousands of years. Under the blue sky, the sound of herdsmen, the neighing of horses and the singing of birds constitute a beautiful symphony.
My hometown is not only charming in scenery, but also rich in products. Cattle and sheep are shipped out, and Cordyceps sinensis is more precious. After the rain, the grassland is covered with mushrooms, which are not only sweet and delicious, but also nutritious.
The annual "Gesar Horse Racing Conference" is really a highlight of Maqu. Every August, horse racing enthusiasts from all over the country come to Maqu with their love, and crowds of tourists also come to Maqu. They gathered at Gesar Racecourse. You see, riders waved whips, a good horse hissed, and finally a handsome little rider won the crown. County leaders presented him with awards. The scene was filled with cheers and people were extremely happy.
"The beautiful grassland is my home, and the wind blows the grassland to see the cattle and sheep ..." With the rapid development of the motherland's economy, the heritage of my hometown has been protected, and various undertakings are also in by going up one flight of stairs. Welcome to the beautiful grassland.
