Qinghai Zhuo'er Mountain | The heart of the emerald of the East Switzerland.

The beauty of Zhuo'er Mountain is a kind of magnificent but delicate beauty. 🌿 🏔️The mountain is composed of red sandstone and conglomerate, which is a typical Danxia landform. In Tibetan, it is called [Zongmumayuma], which means a beautiful and rosy queen. It is known as [East Switzerland] with an altitude of up to 4300 meters. We climbed up along the winding plank road, and the air on the mountain was particularly fresh. Every breath could feel the purity from the plateau. 🌬️ Standing on the viewing platform and looking far away, the mountains in front of you are stacked, colorful and changeable🎨, extending from the green grass at your feet to the colorful Danxia landform in the distance, every scene is a unique masterpiece given to Qinghai by nature. There is a cultural and creative shop [Riyue Renyan] near the top of the mountain, which is very good for shopping. There are many Qinghai postcards, souvenirs, and very characteristic wool felt handicrafts, wool bags🎒, pen cases, small pendants, etc., and you can stamp any consumption🕹️. The shop assistant introduced the product to me enthusiastically, and asked if I could take pictures✅. The shop is not big but it feels very atmospheric when you take a casual shot. Babies who like it must go shopping~ Although the mountain is not high, when we climbed to the top of the Xixia Beacon Tower, we were immediately attracted by the scene in front of us. Those mysterious Xixia text fragments📜🔍 also made me feel the wonderful feeling of Xixia text [it looks like Chinese characters from a distance, but I don’t recognize it when I look closer]. Standing here, we even discussed how many days the news of Jiayuguan Beacon Tower could reach the Forbidden City-the answer was an amazing three days! This speed⚡️ faster than express delivery makes people have to admire the wisdom and efficiency of the ancients. If you travel to the northwest, You must leave a day for Zhuo'er Mountain, You will be amazed❗️ On this magical land, You can not only feel the magic of nature, You can also find the long-lost tranquility and contemplation in the long river of history. 🖼️
