In the region where sea level elevation ranges from 2800 to 3500 meters on the northern side of the Bogda Peak locates a vast area of breathtaking grassland—the Meadow Steppe. The landform there is flat on the whole, but in some area it fluctuates slightly because of water erosion. During the summer, that is, between June and August every year, the steppe is a verdant paradise full of life thanks to the mild temperature and the abundant rainwater then. Various small, perennial plants, such as wormwoods, sedges, and Spartina patens, form the green basis of the steppe, and on it dotted many gorgeous colorful flowers. Because the steppe is located in a relatively high sea level elevation, the ultraviolet rays there is sufficient for plants to grow very well. The landscape there is picturesque and breathtaking in the summer.
Many lovely wild animals take the vast Meadow Steppe as their homes. Visitors can see elegant choughs walking slowly in the grass with their tiny red claws, and chubby little marmots playing with each other and bursting out cheers that sounds like puppies every now and then. Eagles sometimes visit the steppe, too. They hover in the sky and search for preys patiently. If they had identified their target, they will make a steep dive suddenly with a speed of around 120 kilometers per hour, and catch it. If you want to get close to nature and enjoy it, the Meadow Steppe is definitely a good choice.
