THE stretch of steppe on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau known as Zhaxika - Tibetan for "tribe at the headstream of Yalong River," straddles Sichuan and Qinghai provinces as well as Tibet Autonomous Region. It was the casual mention in conversation of this area of grassland in Serxu County, Garze Tibetan Autono- mous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, that brought me to Zhaxika.
