Meiren Grassland
美仁草原
A high mountain grassland about 30 kilometers northeast of Hezuo, with open, rolling meadows stretching to the horizon, herds of yaks, and a reputation as one of the most pristine grasslands in Gannan.
Meiren Grassland is located in Zuogaiduoma Township, Hezuo. Its average elevation is about 3,500 meters, and it is one of the national pilot sites for natural grassland parks. The terrain is high and open. In summer, wildflowers carpet the hillsides, distant ridges run along the horizon, and herders' tents and yak herds dot the landscape. On clear days, the sunsets and starry skies are spectacular. Development is limited, so most visitors come by self-drive or hired car. A few herder-run guesthouses offer horseback riding and Tibetan meals. Getting there: driving from Hezuo takes about 40 minutes. Note: The altitude is high, the sun is strong, and the weather changes quickly, so bring warm clothing and sun protection. Do not drive over the grassland. The coordinates are approximate.
