The area is renowned for its Eight Ba (Banks), Eight Keng (Pits), Three Ping (Plains), Six Dong (Caves), and Two Chi (Pools). The grassland is home to livestock such as Hequ horses, yaks, Yangba cattle, black fur sheep, Tibetan sheep, and local goats. It also hosts rare and picturesque wildlife including wild deer, foxes, argali, bear-like bears, giant salamanders, horned pheasants, golden pheasants, and doll-like chickens.
