Yuke Grassland
玉科
A pure pastoral plateau grassland in northern Daofu. In summer it is a sea of flowers, known as the 'Alpine Garden', and it is a good place for camping and hiking.
Yuke Grassland lies around Yuke Town in northern Daofu County. It covers about 1,846 square km at an average altitude of about 3,700 m. Yuke means 'jade' in Tibetan, and the area is known as the 'Kham Altai' and the 'Alpine Garden'. In summer, wildflowers spread across the grassland like a sea, dotted with snowy peaks, streams and herders' tents. It is one of the less-visited areas for camping and hiking in western Sichuan, and Yuke Town also has a grassland natural ecology museum. Entry is free all year round. The mountain road from the county town takes about 1.5 hours and is in fair condition, so an SUV is recommended, along with plenty of fuel and warm clothing.
