'Aerial herders' take off on Qinghai's plateau pastures At the foot of snow-capped mountains, on the vast grassland, a drone is on a herding mission. In Domkog township, Maqen county, Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Qinghai Province, herdsman Gongpo Tsering began using a drone to herd livestock this year. With an aerial view, he can quickly track the movements of his yak herd. The buzzing sound of the drone also helps drive the yaks down from the mountains.
