[2025 Qumarleb County Attraction] Travel Guide for Kekexili National Nature Reserve Suonan Dajie Protection Station (Updated May)

Hoh Xil, this desolate land where life is forbidden, is an adventure destination that countless people yearn for. The Qinghai-Tibet Highway of National Highway 109, a plateau road at an altitude of 4,500 meters, brings a shocking sense of loneliness and insignificance. Wild animals share this desolate landscape, but people never tire of it. It is like a gift from nature, making people intoxicated by it. It’s only when you embark on this journey that you can truly appreciate its beauty and power. Although Wudaoliang has the pain of illness and Tanggula has the danger of losing one's life, this is precisely its charm. I love this tiny yet great Hoh Xil, and I love even more the endless shock and emotion that this forbidden zone of life brings me. Tips: 1. Xining-Qinghai Lake-Chaka Salt Lake-Chaka 2.
