Soil conditions are poor but the plateau is covered mostly by vast natural grasslands, a good environment for animal husbandry. There are four counties located on the Bashang plateau: Zhangbei, Guyuan, Kangbao and Shangyi. ==External links== * ( Photo of grasslands of the Bashang Plateau ) * ( China Earthquake: Country and Sector Background ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bashang Plateau」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
