What are the unique features of Gansu grassland?
Le Kang grassland
Le Kang Grassland is located on the outskirts of Sunan County, Zhangye City, nearly 500 kilometers away from Gansu. During the day, we took the express train, and it took more than ten hours to arrive the next afternoon, which was a long journey. After arriving in Le Kang grassland, we can see many herders grazing cattle and sheep here. Most herders ride horses, and some tourists wave to them. They will smile at us tourists from the city. On the leisure grassland, the view is very wide, just like the plain in central China. Visitors can take photos here, or lie on the grass and feel the pure natural breath, which is very fragrant.
The home of herdsmen on the grassland
In the evening, we were arranged by the tour group to a farmhouse on the grassland to enjoy the delicious food from the grassland. The meat that herders often eat is instant-boiled mutton. First of all, after the sheep are slaughtered, they are blanched in a pressure cooker to remove the fishy smell. After cooking, take it directly to our city tourists. All the meat on the sheep rack is cut off and put on a big plate. Finally, give us a small bowl of salt with potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables, and a rich grassland meal will be ready. On the grassland, herders directly cook mutton and add some salt to eat it, which can not only retain the flavor of sheep to the maximum extent, but also save a lot of cooking time. This is probably the most beautiful scenery on the Gansu prairie.
