Yila Grassland is located 6 kilometers northwest of the county town of Zhongdian, with a total area of 13 square kilometers. It is the largest and most beautiful grassland in Shangri-La, Diqing. "Yila" means "Leopard Mountain" in Tibetan, named after the legendary leopard mountain, which is said to be a "sacred mountain" located to the north of Yila Grassland. You can not only enjoy the pastoral scenery of the grasslands in the Tibetan areas of Yila Grassland, but also experience the mysterious humanistic风情of the Tibetan nationality in Shangri-La, Diqing. Under the moist climate, green grasses and various wild flowers, both well-known and unknown, compete to bloom and show their beauty. In the boundless sea of grass and the colorful sea of flowers, fat cattle and sheep are walking leisurely, stretching their bodies comfortably, or lying lazily in the sun's embrace, swaying their tails, floating in the ups and downs of the sea of grass and flowers. A winding little river comes from afar, meandering on the emerald green grassland like white silk, and flows far away again. The wind blows low over the grass to reveal the cattle and sheep. How romantic, how lyrical. And in the distance, the snow on the top of the majestic peak, which has not yet melted, shines dazzlingly in the sunlight. Occasionally, the singing of Tibetan girls drifts faintly like celestial music, making people feel enchanted.
