When you go to the grasslands, you must eat local delicacies. Many grasslands raise some cattle or sheep. The breeds of sheep raised in different areas are actually different. So the question is, where are they?

The mutton raised on a grassland is delicious.

Ujimqin Sheep in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Ujimqin owns a quarter of the cattle and sheep in Inner Mongolia, so it is not surprising that sheep are named after this place.

Since the last century, the Ujimqin people have been cultivating a special breed of Ujimqin sheep.

Ujimqin sheep are called fat-tailed sheep because of their unique black head and big tail.

Ujimqin mutton is fresh and tender without losing elasticity.

Its flavor is full of fat aroma and light milk aroma.

Boiled mutton is the highest courtesy the locals give to Ujimqin sheep.

This is also the way to eat mutton that best tests the quality of mutton.

Boil it in boiling water and add vinegar and garlic to release the flavor of the lamb.

Although it looks plain, it has a strong meaty flavor.

People who like to eat mutton are not even willing to dip it in vinegar, which destroys the original flavor of the mutton.

The flavor of Ujimqin sheep in Ujimqin grassland comes from Ujimqin grassland.

Ujimqin Grassland is located in the northeast of Xilingol League.

Sheep don't have to travel far to get enough grass and herbs.

Ujimqin can satisfy everyone’s yearning for the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.

There are hazy mountain peaks in the distance and gurgling water nearby.

Xilingol, once the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, still retains the majestic temperament and heroic national customs of the Mongolian people.

Here, tourists can experience the unique local ethnic culture.

The grassland is filled with the melodious Uzhumu Qin tune.

If you go now, you can catch up with the Naadam Conference established by Genghis Khan to celebrate the unification of Mongolia, known as the "Grassland World Cup".

Kazakh sheep in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Kazakh sheep are also called Altay big-tailed sheep. They are larger than normal sheep and have round and fat tails.

The wool of Kazakh sheep is mostly brown-red.

Their big tails are not meat, but fat.

Due to the large temperature difference between day and night, Kazakh sheep need to accumulate more fat to withstand the cold at night.

Therefore, the meat of Kazakh sheep is fatter than elsewhere, making it the best raw material for local red willow kebabs.

Over an open fire, the oil slowly melts and soaks the lamb.

If it's a little charred, you can understand why Hongliu Kebab dominates the Xinjiang night market.

Nalati Grassland has a quarter of the Kazakh population in Ili, hence the name Kazakh sheep.

Nalati Grassland is one of the four largest alpine valley grasslands in the world. It integrates glaciers and snow peaks, forest grasslands, canyons and rivers, and has rich landscapes.

In the Snow Lotus Valley of the Nalati Grassland, as the altitude increases, the grassland gradually turns into angular rocks and snow-capped peaks, which are as beautiful as the Alps.

It is called Snow Lotus Valley because there are occasional snowdrops near the snow line on the top of the mountain.

The snow lotuses and the white snow on the mountaintops add to the holiness of the valley.

The mountain scenery here is unique.

Standing at the bottom of the valley, the surrounding mountains meander out.

Grass and flowers cover the valley, and dark green spruce trees stand tall on the distant slopes.

In the distance, the mountains are rolling, and the snow and clouds are wrapped together, making it difficult to separate from them.

Qinghai Province Ulan Chaka sheep Ulan Chaka sheep grow in the natural saline-alkali pasture around Chaka Salt Lake, and their food is rich in minerals.

Coupled with the surrounding medicinal crops such as wolfberry and astragalus, locals say that even if no salt is added to the Chaka sheep, it still has a faint salty taste, which is the delicious taste of the sheep itself.

At the same time, due to underdeveloped vegetation in saline-alkali land, Ulan Chaka sheep need to constantly walk in search of sufficient feed.

Although sheep grow slowly, their meat is tender and has no odor.

In Qinghai, in addition to the light way of grabbing mutton with hands, there is also Kang mutton chop, which is bold and straightforward.

Place the lamb chops, potatoes, onions, green peppers and other vegetables in the pan and cook until cooked.

There is some Arabic flavor in the aroma.

Qilian Mountain Grassland After seeing the beautiful scenery of Qinghai Chaka Salt Lake, why not drive to Qilian Mountain to appreciate the magnificence.

Qilian Grassland is located in the canyons and depressions of the Qilian Mountains.

Standing on the grassland, close to the rolling hills, in the distance are the majestic Qilian Mountain peaks, with an average altitude of 4000-5000 meters.

The peaks are mostly covered with snow and glaciers.

Its magnificence lies not only in its scenery but also in its historical significance.

More than two thousand years ago, Huo Qubing drove the Northern Huns out of the Hexi Corridor here.

The Xiongnu lamented: "The loss of our Qilian Mountains has deprived our animals of their ability to feed." In addition to the grasslands, the flowers and plants here are also a highlight of summer.

In July, rapeseed flowers in Menyuan County enter the flowering period.

Visitors can appreciate the magnificence of the sky in the beauty of this 500,000-acre sea of ??flowers.

Jianyang Big-eared Sheep in Sichuan Province The biggest feature of Jianyang Big-eared Sheep is its large ears that can cover its face, and its reddish-brown coat.

Jianyang big-eared sheep is not a local specialty of Jianyang, but an accident in history.
