Have you ever been to the grasslands in China? China has about 400 million hectares of natural grasslands, the second largest in the world in terms of area, making up about a third of China's total land area, extending from northeast China to Southwest China.
On the grassland, it may be fine and sunny one moment, and then almost immediately heavy wind and storm may come down on you winking. The vast grasslands stretch to the horizon. The sky is blue as a sapphire; the grass is green as emeralds. What a marvelous Neverland.

1. Shangri-la Grassland
Shangri-la Grassland located at the area where Tibet, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces meet. Shangri-La County is governed Yunnan Province. The Shangri-la Grassland is less populated and not very developed, thus the natural environment is comparatively well preserved. The grassland is a habitat for many kinds of rare wild animals including yaks, Tibetan antelopes.
2. Naqu Frigid Grassland
Naqu is located deep in the bosom of Dangla Mountain Range. Covering a total area of over 400,000 square kilometers, Naqu area is mostly wrapped in grass. Naqu Grassland is known for its vastness and iciness. The harsh natural conditions have also protected the grassland from human destruction. In the endless No-man Area, wild yaks, chirus and kiangs are wandering, which adds more charm to this mysterious land.
3. Hulun Buir Grassland
Hulun Buir Grassland located in Inner Mongoliar, was named after the Hulun Lake and Buir Lake nearby. It is not only one of the largest three grasslands in the world, but also the best one. It is the cradleland of Mongolian and the main cattle-producing area in Inner Mongolia.
Hulun Buir Grassland possesses the most amazing scenery. In spring, thousands of white swans hover in the sky here; in summer, flocks of cranes, egrets and storks gather; and in autumn wild geese fly over in tight formations to their havens in the south. Summer is the most spectaculars season on the grassland. Green waves of grass wave in the wind, larks sing by the waters, and blue butterflies dance on the petals of the flowers, form a peaceful and harmonious scene.
