The Moon River Scenic Area in Hongyuan was selected as a national 4A-level tourist attraction in 2017. The Gaqu River meanders through here, resembling a crescent moon stretching into the mountains, hence the name "Moon River". Every spring and summer, the vast grassland is like a soft green carpet spreading on the earth, with grass swaying in the wind. In the autumn and winter seasons, the dry and yellow grasslands are covered with a layer of ice and frost, shimmering like diamonds.

In 2022, it was named "Hometown of Sichuan Yak Culture" by the Sichuan Folk Literature and Art Association.
