Gesar King City lies southeast of Garze county seat, beside the G317 junction. It is a recently completed national 4A-level scenic area themed on the Gesar epic. It is divided into a cultural zone, a wetland leisure zone, a grassland experience zone and an epic sightseeing zone. It features the largest prayer wheel in Garze Prefecture, the Gesar Muster Platform, the Dharma Protector Hall and other Tibetan-style buildings. In summer and autumn, it hosts horse-riding shows and the live performance “The Hero Returns.” Visitors can also try on Tibetan costumes for photos and visit hot springs. Ticket and show prices follow the scenic area’s announcements. It is a good place to get an overview of Kham culture soon after arriving in Garze.
