Xiahe tours

Located in the Southern Gansu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, western China, Xiahe County was officially established in 1928. Its name was derived from the River Daxia here. Deep valleys and high mountains are commonly seen in the county, and traditionally Xiahe was a place of military importance in China. It is known as the "Little Tibet" too, because the Tibetan Buddhism has been greatly developed and deeply rooted here since ancient time. In the beautiful prairie of Xiahe, wild leopards, otters and roes are roaming freely, rare plants like aweto and muskiness can be found. Natural mineral resources are rich here too.
