introduce

The Kunlun Mountain Pass is the only place where Qinghai and Gansu provinces lead to Tibet. Kunlun Mountain is 2,500 kilometers long from east to west, with an average altitude of 5,000 meters, standing in the south of Golmud City. The Kunlun Mountains are full of ravines, containing endless magnificence, mystery and richness.

The Karakorum Mountains in the west are the natural boundary between the Tarim Basin and the Northern Tibet Plateau. The East Kunlun Mountains are composed of three major mountain systems, the Altun Mountains-Qilian Mountains in the north, the Kunlun Mountains in the middle, and the Tanggula Mountains in the south. Standing at the Kunlun Mountain Pass, you can have a panoramic view of East and West Kunlun. Looking to the east, in the quiet eternal snow field, Yuxu Peak stands alone and majestic, overwhelming the mountains, creating a unique natural landscape in the world of ice and snow.

The Kunlun Mountain Pass is a desert landform in the permafrost region. The geological system is composed of complex metamorphic rocks that have been eroded strongly in ancient times, and there are hills, low mountains and hills formed by Tertiary sediments. Wild plants such as plum, tiger's claw, and other plateau permafrost deserts grow in hillsides and valleys. On the south side of the Kunlun Mountain Pass Monument and the Jesang Sonam Dajie Monument stand to commemorate this outstanding Tibetan son who sacrificed his life for the protection of wild animals in Hoh Xil.

In our country, nearly one-fifth of the glaciers are distributed here, but the distribution is not uniform, because all the water vapor intercepted by these mountains comes from the west, so the mountains that are closer to the west can be intercepted to the greatest extent. , and the higher the altitude, the thicker the north-south depth, the more likely to obtain more fresh water resources.

This is the place where self-driving tours must come, Kunlun Mountain Pass, but here you have to go through the border inspection documents before you can go out. It is really majestic to see the majestic Kunlun Mountains. I want to go abroad.

This is one of the most important mountain passes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and it is also a place to test your physical limits.

The uncanny workmanship of nature is a place to test the limits of your body.
