The average elevation of Qilian Mountain grassland is between 4000 meters and 5000 meters, and the landform is spectacular. Qilian Mountain Grassland, which represents Damaying Grassland, is located in the basin between Yanqi Mountain and Qilian Mountain. In July and August every year, Qilian Mountain, which is connected with the grassland, is still wrapped in silver, but the grassland is blue, dotted with horses, cows and sheep.
The place above 4000 meters above sea level is called the snow line. On the snow line of Qilian Mountain, rebellious biological wonders often appear. In the shallow snow-capped mountains, there are mushroom-shaped silkworms named as snow-capped meadow plants, as well as precious medicinal materials-Saussurea involucrata, and a kind of snow-capped grass growing under wind-eroded rocks.
The history of Qilian Mountain grassland seems so bumpy and even cruel, but the essence of Qilian Mountain is definitely warm and romantic. One of the Qilian Mountains is the ancient Xiongnu language, which means Tianyue. Up to now, the Yao Ors, the direct descendants of the Huns who are nomadic here, still call Qilian Mountain Tengger Daban, which means the mountain of heaven.
Introduction to the characteristics of Qilian Mountain grassland;
The summer Tara grassland in Qilian Mountain is adjacent to Damaying Beach in the east. Yanqi Mountain has a warm climate and dense forests. There are silver-white Caragana flowers all over the mountains, and the Sichuan grassland at the foot of the mountain is endless. In summer, Xiqiao-Dong Zhang grassland in Sunan Yugur Autonomous County, east of Tara, is full of golden Caragana flowers in summer, and the whole grassland is golden.
Yao Aoer, a warm and kind shepherd, carried his own white tent and black tent and drove the cattle. During the whole summer camp, he wandered in this golden flower sea. The virgin forest scenic spot of Qilian Mountain is even more charming. After the long summer, there is an endless green ocean between the mountains. The virgin forest area of Qilian Mountain is 6.5438+0.57 million hectares, and the forest resources are more than 2 million cubic meters.
It is one of the larger forest areas in Qinghai Province. There are spruce, cypress, poplar and other trees and shrubs such as whip hemp, black thorn and willow. In addition, there are many wandering deer running or wandering in the dense forests and snow-capped mountains of Qilian Mountain, with strong wild interest and beautiful ecology.
