Although Golmud is only a county-level city with a population of only 220,000 people, its jurisdiction area is really large, exceeding 110,000 square kilometers, larger than Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other provinces, not to mention the four major municipalities directly under the central government and Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, etc. It is a small administrative region. It is the largest county-level city in my country, and there are large areas of Gobi, desert, snow-capped mountains, glaciers and other geological landforms, and there are a large number of inaccessible areas. Therefore, for tourists, as long as they know more, they will More surprises.
The Kunlun Mountain Grand Canyon undoubtedly belongs to such a scenic spot. This is a scenic spot that is not marked on the map. Although some information about the Kunlun Mountain Grand Canyon can be found on the Internet, but when you click on it, it is basically a scenic spot in Xinjiang (Kunlun Mountain The mountain range is 2,500 kilometers long, and it is the ancestor of my country's mountains. There are many canyons in it, so it is not surprising that it was called the Kunlun Mountain Grand Canyon before the scenic spot was particularly famous), so it can really be described as little-known.
The Kunlun Mountain Grand Canyon, also known as the Kunlun Grand Canyon, is part of the Kunlun Mountain Global Geopark. The entrance is about 15 kilometers away from the main road of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. It includes natural wonders such as the Grand Canyon, Antelope Valley, and Snow Mountain Canyon. The Grand Canyon is our first The first attraction to enter.
After our vehicle entered the canyon, we found that this is an original ecological canyon. If it weren't for a gate that looked good outside the scenic spot (but no one was on duty), we would definitely think it was an undeveloped wild scenic spot, because this There are no traces of artificial modification, no shops, no staff, not even a trail for tourists to walk.
There is a small river in the canyon, which is said to be a tributary of the Kunlun River, and there is no sightseeing trail built on the side, so if you want to visit inside, you can only drive an off-road vehicle and wade through the narrow canyon. In July and August, when major cities across the country ushered in a high temperature of 40 degrees, there was a cool breeze blowing in the canyon, which was extremely pleasant.
Although the river water in the canyon is not deep, the water comes from the melting of glaciers and snow on the Kunlun Mountains. It is not polluted, it is pure, and the temperature is extremely low. Holding the water in your palm is like frozen mineral water. The scorching heat has subsided, and it is extremely cool. Even though I am sitting in front of the hot computer in Chongqing to sort out these pictures, I can still feel a little bit of coldness, and I miss it very much.
We walked along the Grand Canyon, which can really be described as changing scenery step by step. Some places are about a few meters wide, while others are only two or three meters wide. Looking up, it looks like a line of sky. Such a landscape is an annual ring carved by the erosion of snow-capped mountains for hundreds of millions of years. It has a strange shape and is shocking. When we lift the drone, the canyon from the air is like a crack in the earth, narrow, steep, and rugged.
The Grand Canyon is only a part of the Kunlun Grand Canyon. Walking in, you can also see scenic spots such as Antelope Valley, Snow Mountain Canyon, One Line of Sky, One Sword Sealing Throat, etc. The rich landscape and peculiar shape are amazing.
