Bamda Grassland
邦达草原
A high-altitude grassland at about 4,300 m, home to Chamdo Bamda Airport, where G318 and G214 meet at Bamda Town.
Bamda Grassland lies around Bamda Town in Baxoi County. The terrain is open, meadows bloom with wildflowers in summer, yaks gather in herds, and snowy mountains stretch into the distance. Chamdo Bamda Airport beside the grassland was once one of the highest airports in the world, and its runway is also very long. The Sichuan–Tibet Southern Route G318 and the Yunnan–Tibet Route G214 meet at Bamda Town, where self-drive travelers often refuel and rest before crossing Yila Pass to the 72 Bends of the Nu River. Because of the altitude, keep warm and protect yourself from the sun.
