Beyond its natural scenery, this is a cultural treasure trove that carries the weight of faith and the memories of time.

Hoh Xil Budongquan Spring
Bufrost Spring is located at the place where the Qinghai-Tibet highway and railway must pass, and is the first stop to enter the Kunlun Mountains, so it is also known as the north gate of Hoh Xil. There is a Kunlun Shenquan here, one big and one small 50 meters apart. The big spring is on the side of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, and an octagonal pavilion is built around it. A clear spring in the center of the spring in the pavilion spews out day and night, like a blooming lotus flower. Therefore, it is regarded as a divine spring. Legend has it that when Princess Wencheng and her party came to Nachitai at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, people and animals were exhausted and had to rest on the spot. At this time, it was discovered that there was no water nearby, and people and animals had to hold back their thirst for the night. When people woke up the next morning and found the place where the Buddha statue was placed, there was a sparkling spring. It turned out that it was Sakyamuni who pressed the spring water out of the mountain to purify all living beings. The legend is beautiful and moving, but the mountain spring is indeed the one that nurtured the Kunlun Mountain people.Zhidoi County · >100 km from downtown

Zhuonai Lake
Zhuonai Lake is a transliterated place name; Tibetan people call the Tibetan antelope "Zu," and Zhuonai Lake is where these antelopes gather. The antelopes in Hoh Xil account for the vast majority of the global Tibetan antelope population. Every year in July and August, most of the female antelopes in Hoh Xil gather in a small grassland south of Zhuonai Lake to give birth, returning to their wintering grounds in September to rejoin the males. During the calving season, tens of thousands of female antelopes gather on the south shore of Zhuonai Lake; some have already given birth to lively fawns, while others are awaiting the arrival of new life. Beneath the 5,404m Haoriarijiu Snow Mountain, thousands of antelopes surge forward, creating waves of heat, and the air is filled with the soft, lingering calls of the Tibetan antelopes—a spectacular sight that is truly breathtaking.Zhidoi County · >100 km from downtown

Hoh Xil means "beautiful green mountains" in Tibetan and "beautiful girl" in Mongolian. Hoh Xil has a harsh climate and bad natural conditions, making it impossible for humans to live there for a long time. It is known as the "third pole of the world" and "forbidden zone of life". However, it has created unique living conditions for plateau wild animals, making it a "wild animal paradise".

The Unfrozen Spring is located at the junction of the Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve and the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve, which are overlooked by the Kunlun Yuzhu Snow Mountain. The Qinghai-Tibet Highway and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway pass through here. Although it is located in a high-altitude frozen area, the spring water is crystal clear all year round. The clear spring water flows continuously into the source of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and merges into the stream with the turbid snow mountain water.

Welcome everyone to visit this place. This is my hometown. I hope to see all friends from all over the world. Have fun here, but be careful of altitude sickness. If you need help here, you can contact me at any time. I will try my best to help.
