The Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop Line crosses the Qilian Mountains, fulfilling the promise of the sons of the earth

On this magnificent land of Qinghai-Gansu Loop Line, art and nature blend wonderfully. The "Son of the Earth" lies on the Gobi Desert in the posture of a naive sleeping baby, as if absorbing nourishment from the earth and conveying the initial purity and tranquility of life; while the "Crossing the Qilian Mountains" sculpture is like a determined traveler, striding with his head held high, crossing the mountains and rivers with a fearless attitude, demonstrating the courage and strength to challenge the limits. They stand quietly, becoming unique landmarks in the Gobi Desert, telling of mankind's deep affection for the earth and ambition to explore it, attracting travelers to come and indulge in this magnificent artistic epic.
