Yadong salmon is only distributed in China within 20 kilometers of Yadong River in Xizang at an altitude of about 3000 meters. Very rare, therefore very precious. The reason why Asian salmon is rare is because its growing environment is very unique. The Zhuomu River in Yadong County originates from the snow capped mountains near the Chumolali Peak, which is over 7000 meters north. It reaches Xiasima Town in Yadong County, where the peak gradually becomes shorter and the temperature warms. After the melting of snow and the convergence of forest streams upstream, the river flows rapidly. Although it is cold, it does not freeze all year round. The stones at the bottom of the river are clear and visible, and there are many return water points. Leaves, grass seeds, and sheep manure wash into the river and drift with the water. All of these have created a favorable growth environment for salmon. However, due to growing in the icy and piercing waters of melting snow mountains, the Asian salmon can only be fed after three years of cultivation. Generally, it weighs 0.1-0.75 kilograms and takes four years to grow to one kilogram. Due to the freshness of the food, salmon grows plump and has fine meat, high fat content, thick flesh, and delicious taste. The best way to eat Yadong salmon is to stew it in a clear broth. It has a fresh taste, white color, and a long, mellow aroma. If paired with Yadong mushrooms, it ensures that even immortals drool

In 2013, the "Yadong Salmon" declared by Yadong County Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Comprehensive Service Center of Xizang passed the review of the Center for Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products of the Ministry of Agriculture and organized expert review, and implemented the registration and protection of national geographical indications of agricultural products
