The Yangtianhu Grassland, located in Beihu District, Chenzhou City, is the southernmost alpine grassland in China, with an altitude of 1,314 meters. Its average summer temperature is 20℃, resembling a "huge natural air conditioner". In the midsummer season, the grassland becomes a popular destination for tourists to escape the scorching heat.

According to local residents, the Yangtianhu Grassland remains green for up to nine months. From March to November, the entire mountains are entirely covered in green, offering visitors a breathtaking natural landscape of grasslands, mountains, lakes, and wetlands.

The Yangtianhu Grassland provide services such as horseback riding, archery, boating, camping, and river tracing, after upgrading and transformation of infrastructure, scenic area construction, and road widening. The surrounding horse-breeding cooperatives, grassland homestays, and farmhouse restaurants have emerged in large numbers.
