This aerial photo taken on Dec. 18, 2023 shows sheep heading back to shed in Ngoqu Town, Nyima County of Nagqu City, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. Ngoqu Town is located in Qiangtang Grassland, with an average elevation of more than 5,000 meters. Tenzin, a 21-year-old girl from Ngoqu Town, grazes more than 380 sheep on the grassland. Although the temperature at night is close to minus 20 degrees Celsius recently, Tenzin is not worried about the sheep at night, because they have lived in modern sheds funded by the government. These new sheds are mainly brick-concrete structures and covered with thermal insulation roofs. In the past, once the pasture was covered by snow, the livestock were deprived of feed. Nowadays, there are sufficient reserves of forage for them. (Xinhua/Jiang Fan)
