The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains! The Kunlun Mountain Range!

The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains! The Kunlun Mountain Range! The Kunlun Mountains are an ancient fold mountain range, stretching over 2500 kilometers, divided into western, central, and eastern sections. Starting from the Pamir Plateau, it traverses the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and the Tibet Autonomous Region, extending eastward into the western part of Qinghai Province, reaching the northwestern part of Sichuan Province. The western section runs along the southern edge of the Tarim Basin from northwest to southeast. Here, the mountains are towering and steep, with an average altitude of 5500-6000 meters, and large glaciers are distributed over the tall mountain ranges. The Kunlun Mountains hold a prominent position as the 'Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains' in the cultural history of the Chinese nation. Ancient people referred to the Kunlun Mountains as the 'Ancestor of the Dragon Veins' of China. Many myths and legends passed down from ancient China are related to the Kunlun Mountains, which are considered the birthplace of the descendants of Yan and Huang. However, the Kunlun Mountain mentioned in many myths is not the actual 'Kunlun Mountain' but the Kunlun Mountain Range. The Kunlun Mountain in mythology is the 'Kunlun Fairy Mountain' that exists in reality.
