Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture

The prefecture spans 45,000 square kilometers across three natural regions: Diedie Mountain in the south, hills in the east, and grasslands in the northwest.

The territory established itself as one of China's first comprehensive tourism demonstration zones and maintains the ancient Labrang Monastery, a prominent center of Tibetan Buddhism.

The region houses multiple ethnic groups with Tibetans comprising 51 percent of the population, followed by Han and Hui communities maintaining their traditional practices.

Gannan Xiahe Airport connects the prefecture with major cities like Xian and Chengdu, while Highway G213 provides ground transportation through the region.

The prefecture contains two national nature reserves, Erhai Lake and Zecha, along with natural landmarks including Lotus Mountain and the first return of the Yellow River.
