Longriba Grassland
龙日坝
Open highland pasture south of Hongyuan, with herds of yaks beside the road and black tents dotting the grassland. It is a classic roadside stop for self-drive trips.
Longriba lies about 35 km south of Hongyuan town, in the Longri area between Emutang Flower Sea and the county seat. At an altitude of about 3,500 meters, it is one of Hongyuan's most representative alpine meadow pastures. In summer, herders graze their animals here. Along the road you can see large herds of yaks, black tents and rolling hills stretching into the distance. Most people stop while driving to take in the view, and no admission is charged. Some herder families offer horseback riding and butter tea experiences, with prices agreed in advance. Grassland weather changes quickly, and afternoon thunderstorms are common, so take care when pulling over.
