How high is Tanggula Pass?

Tanggula Pass is 523 1 m above sea level.

Tanggula mountain pass, highway elevation 523 1 m. It is the natural dividing line between Qinghai Province and Tibet Province, with a broad vision. This area is frozen soil, and the water in the soil layer is frozen for many years. The weather in Yamaguchi is very unstable. Even in summer, roads are often blocked by heavy snow, and hail and frost and snow are common phenomena. The oxygen content in the air here is only 60% of the sea level, so ordinary passengers passing through Tanggula Pass will have obvious mountain reaction.

Gladandong, the main peak of Tanggula, is more than 6000 meters above sea level and is the source of the Yangtze River. The no man's land at the foot of Hoh Xil is a comfortable pasture for endangered wild animals such as Tibetan antelope. On the plateau in April and May, rivers condensed into crystal clear glaciers, and the waves silently turned into silent ice sculptures. Once roaring and raging, the rushing rivers slept quietly.
