The yak meat in the shop looks exceptionally fresh, with a vibrant color that seems to carry the essence of the plateau. In the top right corner of the photo, a bundle of white yak tail hair flutters gently in the wind, adding a touch of nature and rawness to the scene. This moment captures the everyday life of the shop, intertwined with traditional culture, presenting a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
