[Explanation] In the early morning of late autumn in the plateau, the air is filled with the chill of dawn. Herdsmen in Namuhu Village, Dangxiong County, Lhasa City, Tibet, chasing cattle and sheep by the holy lake, singing pastoral songs, and embarking on the transition road of the great migration of livestock. Under the rays of the sun, mountains, grasslands, lakes, nomadic ancient roads... just like a colorful picture, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. After entering mid-September every year, the herdsmen living on the Qiangtang grassland will usher in the best time for livestock migration. Herdsmen move their cattle and sheep from summer pastures to winter pastures.
Nici, Secretary of the Party Committee of Namuhu Village, Damxiong County, Lhasa City, said that the mighty migration of cattle and sheep is not only the most unique "landscape" in autumn, but also a nomadic culture that has been passed down to this day.

The nomadic herdsmen's transition is a nomadic culture that has been passed down to this day. During the special period of the national anti-epidemic this year, in accordance with the relevant requirements of epidemic prevention and control, on the one hand, all the herdsmen on the transfer farms were tested for nucleic acid, and on the other hand, the related work of epidemic prevention and control was also done well, which was carried out in groups according to the actual situation of each group in the whole village. Make sure the transition is safe and smooth.
[Explanation] It is reported that most of the local winter pastures are deep in the mountains above 4,800 meters above sea level. This time, the herdsmen in Namu Lake Village migrated to winter pastures with more lush grass and water more than 60 kilometers away from the summer pastures.

, was arranged by the county and village during the transition process, and the medical staff and police station provided us with help. Therefore, in this transition, the people and livestock arrived at their destination safely and smoothly, for which we are very grateful.
[Commentary] Ciwang Zhaxi, a herdsman from Group 5 of Namuhu Village, told reporters that the grassland nourishes the herdsmen, and the herdsmen guard the grassland. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the transition of pastoral areas is just a way of life, but for the herdsmen living in the depths of the grasslands, this is a nomadic culture that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is the most beautiful agreement between herdsmen and nature.
