Scenic spot introduction:

Qilian Mountain is a natural ecological tourism area integrating forests, grasslands and glaciers. It is also a precious natural treasure house. The four seasons in the scenic area have always been unclear, but the scenery and climate are pleasant. The so-called "Qilian Snow in June" is a reflection of the climate and natural landscape of Qilian Mountain. In particular, the Qilian Mountain grassland has been selected as one of the "six most beautiful grasslands in China".
Generally speaking, everything is extinct in the world of ice and snow. However, above the snow line of the Qilian Mountains, rebellious biological wonders often appear. Among the mountains with light snow, grow the "Three Friends of Suihan" on the snow line of Qilian Mountain - snow lotus, silkworm, and snow mountain grass. Along the way, ancient cities, springs and other cultural and natural attractions are presented one by one, and dozens of rare animals are also present. Qilian Mountain adds spirituality.
The Qilian Mountains, which are connected to the grasslands, are covered with ice and snow that never melts all year round. They are covered in silver and snow-capped mountains, while the vast hectares of golden rapeseed flowers on the grasslands are fascinating. When the breeze blows, the waves of flowers surge, just like the tide of the Qiantang River. One wave pushes over another, rolling forward, like thousands of horses galloping, unstoppable. In addition, groups of horses, cattle and sheep under the blue sky and white clouds are dotted among them, giving people the feeling of returning to nature, returning to nature, and feeling like entering a fairyland.
