　　The yak from Hongyuan grazes on the beautiful grasslands of the region. Hongyuan, this ancient land, boasts rolling snow mountains and boundless pastures. Generation after generation of local people have used their boundless wisdom and remarkable perseverance to develop this "land of life." Through the passage of time, plateau dwellers have domesticated yaks with unique adaptive abilities.

　　The yak is a unique livestock species native only to the Roof of the World — the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. There are approximately 14 million yaks worldwide, 95% of which are distributed in western China, making them known globally as "Chinese yaks." Hongyuan is one of the regions with the highest yak population and thus best represents the typical living habits of Chinese yaks.
