The vast Chongqenkadu Pasture to the north of Nagqu Town is the site of the annual Nagqu Horse Racing Meet held in the seventh or eighth month of the Tibetan calendar. During the one-week horse racing festival, other kinds of sports activities will be held too such as tug-of-war, carrying rocks, shooting and yak racing.

(During the Horse Racing Meet, there are mini-buses to the meet site from Nagqu for two yuan each. Tourists can go back to stay at Nagqu for the night.)
