The only city in China with free admission, more mysterious than Lhasa

In our country, there is such a place, which is more mysterious than Lhasa and more primitive than Xinjiang! In addition, it is the only city in China with free admission. Curious friends may ask, where is this place? What different sceneries are there? With these questions and curiosity, let's talk about Yushu today. Yushu City, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, is located in the eastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an area of 15,700 square kilometers. 'Yushu' is a transliteration of Tibetan, meaning 'ruins'. In the 18th year of the Republic of China (1929), Yushu County was established, and the county government was located in Jiegu Town. In 1952, Yushu County was established according to the old system. In July 2013, with the approval of the State Council, Yushu County was abolished and Yushu City at the county level was established. The continuous snow-capped mountains, vast grasslands, various wild animals on the distant mountains... all the wild beauty of nature can be seen in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai. The river network in Yushu City is dense, the water source is abundant, the valley is deep and the flow is rapid, the terrain is high and low, and it has unique rafting resources.
