Qilian Mountains: A Hidden Paradise on Earth

Protecting Qilian Mountains for a Green Future The Qilian Mountains, a majestic mountain range stretching across northwestern China, is nature's precious gift to humanity. Like an ecological beacon, its continuous ridges nurture water sources, allowing clear streams to flow endlessly, bringing vitality to the life oases of the Hexi Corridor. It also serves as a natural barrier, blocking sandstorms and protecting the tranquility of the vast surrounding lands. However, past excessive development and destruction have left scars on the Qilian Mountains. Forest vegetation has decreased, soil erosion has intensified, and biodiversity faces severe challenges. But we won't stand by and watch these green mountains deteriorate - efforts to protect the Qilian Mountains have never ceased. 📍Location: Qilian Ice Valley 🚗Transportation: Self-driving recommended 🎫Tickets: Adults 120/Students 60 🌄Standing on the Qilian Mountain grasslands, you can see the magnificent Qilian Mountain range in the distance, where snow-capped peaks create a striking contrast against the blue sky and white clouds.
