Maqu county in China is 10,191 km², according to latitude.to (which seems to have gotten the figure from Wikipedia, which in turn is using an outdated link to the International Fund for Agricultural Development).

In Norway, the district in Kautokeino covers 5,066 km². Herding groups in the district in Karasjok have 3,765 km² of pastures during summer and 3,752 km² for the rest of the year. Data from Ressursregnskapet for reindriftsnæringen 2015-2016.
