Longdeng Grassland
龙灯草原
A wide plateau grassland on the road between Daofu and Bamei, where legend says King Gesar once camped. Herds of yaks and cattle graze here.
Longdeng Grassland lies in Longdeng Township, Daofu County, about 38 km from the county town. The road runs across the grassland, which is open and flat. In Tibetan it is called 'Gesar Tong', meaning the grassland where King Gesar campaigned. In summer, wildflowers cover the ground and herds of yaks roam, with herders' tents and mani stone heaps scattered around. In recent years, the Longdeng Ranch scenic area and viewing facilities have been built here. On the way from Daofu to Bamei or Tagong, it makes a good detour. You can stop to take in the view or go horse riding. The grassland sits at about 3,600 m, so protect yourself from the sun and keep warm. Do not drive into the grazing areas.
