Gazing upon the Kunlun from the heavens

The Kunlun Mountain Range, a grand mountain range that traverses the western part of China, is located on the northern edge of the Tibetan Plateau. It stretches from the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau in the west to the upper valley of the Qaidam River in the east, spanning over 2,500 kilometers in length; the widest part is around 350 kilometers at 90°E, and the narrowest is about 150 kilometers near 81°E. Different documents have various internal divisions of the range, with some referring to it as having an eastern and western section, while others divide it into western, central, and eastern sections. The Kunlun Mountains hold a prominent position in the cultural history of the Chinese nation as the 'ancestor of all mountains.' It was the site of the Daoist Mixed Yuan Sect (Kunlun Sect) during the late Ming Dynasty. Many myths and legends passed down from ancient China are associated with the Kunlun Mountains, which are considered the birthplace of the descendants of Yan and Huang, the legendary ancestors of the Chinese people. However, the Kunlun Mountains mentioned in many myths are not the same as the actual Kunlun Mountain Range, but rather the 'Kunlun Fairy Mountain' that exists in reality. 🌟 Highlight Feature: Only from an airplane can one truly appreciate the vast expanse of the motherland's territory, where the mountains blend seamlessly with the clouds, and the snow-capped peaks are covered in a blanket of white. 🌟 Highlight Feature: The snowmelt flowing down from the Tianshan Mountains gathers into streams, eventually making its way to the great rivers.
