In Shuibei Town, besides the Huangkeng Ancient Village, the vast grasslands are also beloved by residents. Entering the grassland, the first thing you see is a few small hills in the distance, with winding paths leading to their summits. Climbing to the summit, you'll overlook the vast grasslands. The grasslands are surrounded by hills, with a bend of clear water separating them from the green hills at the northern end. A fir forest frames the eastern side, and two steep, grass-draped peaks rise in the northwest corner. The grasslands are vast, with rolling green grasses, and only a few small shrubs grow at the edges. While not boundless and vast, the Shuibei grasslands possess a sense of vast greenery.
