The Qilian Mountains are lined with glaciers, with 2,730 glaciers guarding the home of the bar-headed geese

Qilian Mountains, this wet island in the vast sea, boasts stunning natural wonders. Here, glaciers stretch endlessly, with a total of 2,730 glaciers, like a natural solid-state reservoir, storing about 86.4 billion cubic meters of precious water resources, bringing vitality and life to the land. Every April is the busiest season in the Qilian Mountains. Bar-headed geese fly back from the south to their birthplace, building nests and laying eggs on this beautiful land. The rivers and lakes deep in the Qilian Mountains are clear and tranquil, providing an ideal habitat for the bar-headed geese. Visitors here can not only admire the magnificent glacier scenery and experience the wonders of nature but also observe the living habits of the bar-headed geese up close, witnessing the reproduction and continuation of life, gaining a sense of awe and emotion for nature. Come to the Qilian Mountains and start a romantic encounter with glaciers and bar-headed geese, feeling the unique charm of this wet island!
