The northern Tibetan grassland refers to the vast plateau in northern Tibet. In Nagqu, it mainly refers to the Qiangtang grassland. Qiangtang is one of the five largest pastures in China. It is located between the Kunlun Mountains, the Tanggula Mountains and the Gangdise Mountains. It is not only a paradise for wild animals and plants, but also a cultural fertile land with rich sedimentary layers. Scenic spots in the northern Tibetan grassland landscape: On the endless grassland, there are yaks and sheep on which herders depend for survival, and tents, where herders live, can be seen everywhere. The herders have created a dreamy and colorful nomadic culture here. There are not only ancient rock paintings, but also many ruins of the ancient Zhangzhung Kingdom. The footprints and stories of the hero King Gesar are all over northern Tibet. Mani piles, prayer flags, and ancient pagodas can be seen everywhere..., adding a bit of mystery to the vast grassland. The famous Tang-Tibet Ancient Road runs through the north and south.
