Ngawang sheep, weapon for poverty alleviation
Ngawang Township is located in the grasslands of eastern Tibet and has an average altitude of 4,000 meters above sea level. It is part of Gonjo County in Chamdo City, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region.
For thousands of years, nomads here have been engaged in raising and shepherding sheep. After efforts in systematic cultivation in recent years, Ngawang sheep has become famous for its good quality leather and its delicate, unique, flavorful, odorless meat. It is so popular that as soon as a product is released, it will be sold out.
