Baqing County belongs to Nagchu City of Tibet Autonomous Region of China, located in the southern foothills of Tanggula Mountain on the northern Tibetan plateau, with an average altitude of about 4,500 meters. The total area of the county is about 10,000 square kilometers, with a resident population of about 50,000, with Tibetans as the main ethnic group. The region has a typical plateau cold climate with long cold winters and short cool summers.
The economy of Baching County is dominated by animal husbandry, producing yaks, Tibetan sheep and other livestock, as well as being one of China's important Cordyceps production areas. The area retains a complete tradition of Tibetan nomadic culture, and the annual horse-racing festival and religious activities attract many tourists. Famous attractions include the religious and cultural heritage of Maimo Cave and Baqing Monastery. National Highway 317 runs through the whole area, which is an important node of the Sichuan-Tibet Northern Route.
Distributed with plateau grassland, glacier and river and wetland ecosystems, the county is one of the important water sources of the Yangtze River headwaters. The unique plateau ecological environment provides habitats for rare wild animals such as snow leopards and Tibetan antelopes, and has important ecological protection value.
