Covering about 12,000 hectares, the grassland is one of the largest natural pastures in southern China and was designated a national grassland park in 2021. With altitudes ranging from 1,100 to 1,500 meters, the area's unique landscape blends the sweeping plains of northern China with the green hills of the south. Summer temperatures average around 20 C, offering visitors a comfortable escape from the summer heat.
