It is a highland basin surrounded by mountains such as Dalijia Mountain and the Baishiya cliffs, at about 3,000 meters. The pastures are open, and livestock graze in large herds. The Ganjia Secret Land scenic area links Bajiao Ancient City, Baishiya Karst Cave and its monastery, Zuohai Monastery, and Sirou Grassland into a loop route. You can drive it in a day, by hired car or self-drive. It is ideal for photography and for watching grassland sunsets. Admission is charged per attraction and depends on the current rates at each site. Note: Most roads are county and township roads, which may freeze in winter and spring. Ultraviolet radiation is strong at this altitude. The coordinates are set at Ganjia Town.
