Slope Top Pasture

　　Slope Top Pasture was established in December 1959 and is situated between Niu peng Liang zi and Ba dan Shan. It is made up of three sections: the Upper Pasture, Middle Pasture, and Lower Pasture. The area most visitors reach is the Middle Pasture. It is part of the Wumeng Mountain National Geological Park. This is a typical representation of plateau plain landform. A once-developed peneplain was uplifted by crustal movements to form a plateau, but intense river downcutting largely destroyed it, leaving behind only remnants of the ancient planation surface, which now form flat-topped mountain ridges. This area lies on the border between Pan County and Shuicheng, within the high mountainous region of Pan County. With an elevation of up to 2,857 meters at its highest point and generally over 2,000 meters above sea level, the undulating terrain is covered by over 100,000 acres of natural grassland, where thousands of cattle and sheep graze. Here, majestic high mountains meet vast green fields, making it the “revolutionary melting pot” where young people from Pan County were sent during the “Down to the Countryside Movement.”
