Grassland and forest
Zhusang Grassland (祝桑草原) is a highland pasture with grazing cattle and sheep and snow mountains in the distance. Forests elsewhere in Yajiang include fir, spruce, high-mountain pine and birch. Qingdagou Forest Park (庆达沟森林公园) and Pamuling (帕姆岭) are among the county's named scenic areas.
The old street and matsutake
Tizi Lane (梯子巷) is an old street in the county seat. Its redevelopment incorporates local Tibetan culture, ferry history and Long March (长征) themes. Matsutake mushrooms are another local focus: at the edible-fungus agricultural park, visitors can see mushrooms being sorted, packed and dispatched. The county's 2024 matsutake cultural season even featured matsutake pizza.
