Tagong Monastery
It is the location of Tagong Monastery — a Tibetan Buddhist monastery and one of the most important in the area — in Tibetan Tagong Si or Pel Lhagong.
It was established with reference to a nearby sacred mountain, Mt. Yala or Zhara Lhaste, 5,820 metres (19,090 ft) in elevation.
Tagong Grassland
Tagong Grassland is located in Tagong Township, Kangding County, Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Tagong Grassland has an area of 712.37 square kilometers with gentle slopes and lush grass.
Tagong Grassland is very beautiful by itself, but its beauty is more splendid combined with its surroundings. The sacred Yala Mountain is standing not far away from Tagong Grassland. The mountain is clustered with clouds and fog all the year around, being mystery and scared in the area. The ever blue and clean sky, the shining Tagong Temple, the wondering sheep and cows, all these are combined to bring a picturesque image.
