Chongdui Grassland

冲堆

A river valley meadow and pastureland northwest of Gyirong Town, surrounded by forest, snow-capped peaks, and wooden cabins, often called 'Little Switzerland'.

Chongdui village lies northwest of Gyirong Town, beside the Gyirong Tsangpo river valley. A gently sloping alpine meadow is surrounded by forest and snowy peaks, with cattle and sheep scattered across it and wooden fences and Tibetan houses dotting the landscape. The scenery is often compared to an Alpine pasture. You can drive or cycle there from Gyirong Town, and the best light is in the evening, when you can stroll along the edge of the grassland. The grassland is used by herders for grazing, so please don't enter the fenced areas or chase the livestock.
