Things to do in Qumarleb County

Kunlun Mountain has a prominent position as the "ancestor of all mountains" in the cultural history of the Chinese nation. The ancients called Kunlun Mountain the "ancestor of dragon veins" in China. Chen Yi's poem "Ode to Kunlun Mountain" says: "Kunlun's courage is so great that it is not famous for its hills and valleys." Kunlun Mountain is like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, bathing in the wind and wind all his life, and silently reading the spring and autumn. Summer vacation is coming soon. Friends who like self-driving tours can start from Xining along the "Gansu-Qinghai Grand Loop", along National Highway 109 or Beijing-Tibet Expressway, and rest for one night after arriving in Golmud, and set off the next day. Along the way, there are "Nachitai Hot Spring", Taoist Palace "Wuji Dragon and Phoenix Palace", "Khekexili" and other attractions.

It is a very worthwhile attraction to visit. The snow-covered nature reserve has Tibetan antelopes, Tibetan wild donkeys, eagles, and if you are lucky, you can also see wild yaks and wild wolves. Sanjiangyuan International Park and the Sonam Darje Conservation Station are built to commemorate Sonam Darje's efforts to protect the Tibetan antelope, which makes people stand in awe.

Yuzhu Peak, located 10 kilometers east of Kunlun Pass, 160 kilometers south of Golmud, Qinghai, is the highest peak in the eastern section of Kunlun Mountain. It is gentle in the south and steep in the north. The end of the glacier on the south slope is about 5,100 meters above sea level; the glacier on the north slope extends to 4,400 meters. The top of the peak is covered with ice and snow all year round, with no exposed rocks. The ice and snow slope is relatively gentle. The glaciers below the grain snow basin are retreating continental glaciers due to the high temperature every year, rapid melting, little precipitation, and greater melting than accumulation. The Yuzhu Peak area has a continental climate with an annual rainfall of only 200 mm. However, in high-altitude areas above 5,000 meters above sea level, affected by high-altitude convective air currents, the rainfall is hundreds of millimeters higher than that in the front of the mountain. The average annual temperature is minus 5 degrees Celsius, and the extreme minimum temperature can reach minus 30 degrees Celsius. The climbing season is from May to October. The weather is colder and the oxygen content is lower in May. July, August, September and October are more suitable for climbing.

One of the four sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism, it is majestic and steep, with a rugged masculine beauty. The locals regard it as a guardian god!

A must-pass place on National Highway 109 Qinghai-Tibet Highway, on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. The surrounding area is very flat and you can see very far. Tibetan antelopes will appear where there is water. It is particularly easy to get altitude sickness here, which is a great test of physical fitness.
