A wide, gently rolling subalpine grassland in the Wumeng Mountains, topped by Guniuzhai peak at 4,017 m, the highest point in the range. Summer turns it green with wildflowers and grazing herds, and winter brings snow and a ski area. The rains of August and September often bring fog that hides the view.
