Zhaxixiulong Grassland
抓喜秀龙草原
A highland grassland in the Huarui Tibetan area of Tianzhu, dotted with wildflowers and tent pastures in summer, offering a taste of Tibetan herding life.
Zhaxixiulong Grassland lies in the area around Zhaxixiulong Town in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, right next to Wushaoling. It is one of Tianzhu's largest natural pastures and an important production area for white yak. In summer the grassland turns green and wildflowers bloom. Herders pitch tents while tending their animals, and some herder guesthouses serve hand-grabbed mutton and butter tea. Folk events such as horse racing often take place here in summer. The altitude is high and the difference between day and night temperatures is large, so bring a jacket and sun protection. It is about 90 km from Wuwei city, and self-driving or hiring a car to visit alongside Wushaoling on the same day is recommended.
