Kunlun Mountain 🏔️ Yuzhu Peak 🩵 Golmud River

#discoverchina Kunlun Mountains, also known as Kunlun Xu, Kunlun Hill or Jade Mountain. In Chinese Taoist culture, Kunlun Mountain is known as "the ancestor of ten thousand mountains". It is a sacred mountain in ancient Chinese mythology and is regarded as a fairy mountain where gods live by Taoism. Kunlun Mountains are one of the largest mountain chains of central Asia, are also the backbone of the mountain system in western China. The mountain range originates in the Pamirs Plateau, the westernmost region of China, which is the source of all the great mountain ranges in Asia, such as the Himalayas, the Tianshan Mountains, and the Sulayman Mountain. Yuzhu Peak is wrapped with snow and surrounded by clouds and mists all year round. The well-known Kunlun June Snow Wonder is formed here. Now the peaks are open to the outside world in Qinghai province as holy places for pilgrimage and practice. Originating from the Kunlun Mountains, the middle reaches of the Golmud River have eroded thousands of slates for a long time, forming a one-step natural wonder with cliffs facing each other and tens of meters deep. #qinghai #naturalwonders
