The altitude of Zhongwei is between 2955 meters and 1 100 meters, and there is plenty of sunshine. Due to the influence of desert climate, there is little precipitation, and the annual average temperature is 7.4℃. The climate in spring is cold and dry, the wind and sand are fierce, the summer is dry and hot, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the autumn is slightly cold, the temperature is moderate and the winter is cold.
