Zadoi, known as the hometown of the Cordyceps fungus (caterpillar fungus), is situated in Yushu Prefecture and is the first county at the source of the mighty Lancang River. Southeast of Zadoi is the breathtaking Angsai Grand Canyon, with its stunning red sandstone landscapes, lush river valley, and expansive grasslands. Given the high likelihood of spotting snow leopards in the canyon, it's also affectionately referred to as the "Valley of the Cats." Come winter, as temperatures drop and rivers freeze, animals tend to migrate to lower altitudes, providing a good opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts keen on observation.
