Zhuoxi Ranch, located at an altitude of 2,600-3,600 meters, is part of the Wolong Nature Reserve. The ranch's rapid elevation change makes it home to numerous rare and endangered wildlife. The reserve boasts over 50 mammal and 300 bird species, making it one of the world's most extensive and well-preserved areas of ancient biodiversity. Following the May 12 earthquake, the Tibetan people of Jiarong who inhabited the ranch's vicinity relocated to the foothills, further restoring the surrounding ecological environment. With luck, you might even be able to spot a variety of wildlife!
