What are the tourist attractions on Kunlun Mountain?

Kunlun Mountain, also known as Kunlun Xu, is the first mountain in China, the mountain of ten thousand ancestors, Kunlun Mountain or Yushan Mountain. The mountain system in Central Asia is also the backbone of the mountain system in western China. It starts from the eastern Pamirs in the west, crosses Xinjiang and Tibet, and extends to Qinghai, with a total length of about 2,500 kilometers, an average elevation of 5,500-6,000 meters, a width of 1.30-200 kilometers, and a total area of more than 500,000 square kilometers.

The main attractions of Kunlun Mountain are:

1, Kunlun Spring is located in the middle of Nachitai, a famous town on the north bank of Kunlun River, with an altitude of about 3,700 meters. It is an excellent natural mineral spring and is known as the wonders of Kunlun. The water temperature is constant at 20 degrees Celsius throughout the year.

Around the spring pool, there is a polygonal pattern made of granite slate. In the center, a clear spring suddenly gushed out of the pool, forming a crystal mushroom shape, throwing countless jasper-like petals around, like a blooming lotus, and like a silent broken jade falling into the clear pool, and then rushing to the turbulent Kunlun River.

2. Related Mountain Pass: Kunlun Mountain Pass is located in the middle of Kunlun Mountain, which is160km south of Golmud City, with an altitude of 4,772m and a relative height of 80 ~100m. Also known as the "Kunlun Mountain Pass", it is the only place for Qinghai and Gansu provinces to enter Tibet, and it is also a major pass on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.

Kunlun Mountain Pass has high terrain, cold and humid climate, thin air, unique ecological environment and spectacular natural scenery. Here, the mountains are undulating, the snow peaks are abrupt and the grassland meadows are vast.

3. Kunlun Bridge, also known as One Step Natural Barrier Bridge. Located at the foot of Kunlun Mountain in the south of Golmud, about 50 kilometers away from the urban area of Golmud, it is a great danger on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.

Kunlun Bridge is a reinforced concrete bridge, spanning natural hazards, with a total length of a little more than 4 meters.

The grandeur of Kunlun Bridge lies not in the bridge itself, but in the stone cliffs and deep streams under it.

Originated in Kunlun Mountain, the Golmud River, which is formed by the confluence of snow water and spring water, runs down from the alpine canyon at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. The raging river has eroded thousands of stone slabs in the valley into a dangerous gorge with a depth of more than 40 meters and a width of several meters, of which the narrowest part is only about 4 meters. The cliffs on both sides of Kunlun Bridge are opposite, with rugged rocks, flat valley tops and deep valleys, and the situation is extremely steep.
