With an elevation of more than 4,500 meters,  it's been honored as "the closest place to the sky". In the area of ​​Nagqu, the vast Qiangtang Prairie and the mysterious northern depopulated zone are inhabited by wild yaks, Tibetan antelopes, wild donkeys, and many other national-level protected animals. Lake Namtso, the Nagqu Horse Racing Festival and the source of the Yangtze River attract numerous travelers each year.
