High alpine meadow on a dried glacial lakebed, grazed by yaks, sheep and horses under snow peaks.
This guide to Ganhaizi Scenic Area in Lijiang traces how a glacial lake below Jade Dragon Snow Mountain quietly drained away sometime before the 1940s, leaving a high alpine meadow that Naxi herders still call dry sea. You'll hear how Tibetan, Yi and Naxi families drive yaks, cattle and sheep up here every spring to graze where the water once stood. It also follows the mushroom hunters who comb the grass after summer rain for a wild fungus prized far beyond this valley. Listen for herders' dogs working the flanks of the herd as you walk the meadow's edge.
