The
spring scene in the Great Canyon in
winter
The high mountain bushes in the Great
Canyon mainly consist of evergreen azalea.
Within this relatively small region,
there are more than 154 types of azalea,
which take up 26% of the world azalea
species (about 600 types). The evergreen
leaves of the azalea and its motley
flowers bring to people the bright color
and a clear smell of nature on the Himalayas.
There is no garden in the world that
could vie with the scenes of the azalea
growing in the Himalayas in their full
bloom. When the drizzling rains of spring
awake the azalea flowers spreading all
over the hills and valleys of the great
canyon, they turn into a scene as if
someone has stumbled a painter's paint
bottle. The rich red, the light yellow,
the powder white, and the indigo purple...all
splash on the deep green mountain slopes
at one time. Setting against the blue
sky, the white cloud and the snow-covered
mountains, large pieces of color specks
and pieces, with their unparallel momentum
and visual effect, will shake the hearts
of those whoever sight them strongly.
It is hard to imagine that under the
snow-covered mountains and above the
rapid currents of the great canyon there
is still a sea of azalea flowers. It's
hard to imagine how magnificent and
how beautiful the scenes are! They jointly
constitute the unique environment and
resource in the number one great canyon
of the world.

Besides experiencing the amazing beauty
of the high mountain azalea, one can
also enjoy the beautiful scenes of the
high mountain grasslands. The high and
sub-high mountain grasslands are the
summer pasturelands that are the most
suitable to herd the yaks. In autumn,
the beautiful grasslands still possess
some charms of the spring. The rough
gentian flowers are right in their full
bloom. Looking from a certain distance,
people would feel that the flowers are
carved with blue jades; of course, fairy
primroses have died away at this time
of the year, but we can see they are
making preparations for their full bloom
of the next spring; and the nodding
chrysanthemum still bend their heads
shyly as if they are meditating and
recalling the bright sunlight that has
just gone away.
