After stretching for thousands of kilometers from west to east, the Himalayas stopped at Nanga Bawa Peak, which is 7,782 meters above sea level. The mountain continues to extend southeastward, and in the Bersula Ridge area that connects the Hengduan Mountains, the Rivers of Chayu, Dulong, nu and other rivers tear open the mountains and rush east from between the deep mountain canyons. As a result, the southeastern part of Tibet in China presents a unique geographical unit: "Tibet Jiangnan" Chayu.

Chayu, meaning "land of flaky stones" in Tibetan. Here the mountains are towering, the river valleys are long, and the forests are thousands of miles; the climate here is warm and pleasant, the Sangqu River is babbling, the lofty mountains are green, and the subtropical primeval forest scene is like a scene. Nature's ingenuity has made Chayu a place of low altitude, abundant precipitation, and mild seasons in Tibet, and at the same time is famous for its deep mountains and valleys and difficult roads, and most of the branch of the Tea Horse Ancient Road- C (C Zhongluo) Cha (Chavalon) Cha (ChaYu) Road is within its territory. Cha Yu, in addition to being amazing, adds a bit of yearning.

The subtropical canyon climate, coupled with the large number of terraces, has created the characteristic alpine organic tea of Chayu. Since 2018, Chayu County has begun to vigorously develop the tea industry, and as of now, the tea planting area in the county is about 12,000 mu, which has supported a new world of farmers' income, rural prosperity and poverty alleviation.
Chayu is a "ruyi treasure land" hidden in the deep mountains and dense forests, and is a bright pearl on the Prochacha line of the Tea Horse Ancient Road. Bathed in the spring breeze of the new era, Chayu County has rationally planned its industrial layout, and continuously promoted key industries such as high-quality fruit planting, tea planting, aquaculture, and ecological tourism, laying a solid foundation for building a well-off society, and is striding towards the future.
