The Kunlun mountain pass is 160 kilometers to the south of Golmud, and the altitude rises from 2,800 meters to 4,700 meters abruptly and the temperature and air pressure drop accordingly.

You will feel suddenly being transferred from a hot summer to a severe winter with the snow-white Kunlun surrounding you magnificently. Kunlun is not only famous for its grandeur but also the color jade it produces, and the jade is called Kunlun Jade. Among the snow and the grassland, rare animals are leaping and skipping, presenting a beautiful picture of nature.
