Changtang Prairie


Changtang Prairie covers most of Nagqu. It is one of the regions that have good ecological environment. And the Life of King Gesar, the world's longest epic created by the Tibetans, is also widely sung there. The Tibetan Railway crosses the prairie. So, tourists can appreciate the good view in the trains. Herdsmen graze cattle there seasonally. They created colorful nomadic culture. On the prairie, not only can the rock paintings of the distant past and the site of ancient Xiangxiong Kingdom be found, but also Mani rocks carved with Buddhist sutras, the Buddhist sutra streamers, pagodas, flocks and herds, and herdsmen's tents can be seen. The nylon tents, stripped with red, blue, yellow, green and white, are extraordinarily eye-catching.

In the uninhabited area live the wild animals under first-class national protection, including wild yak, Tibetan antelope and wild ass
