The Hoh Xil **class nature reserve is mainly located in the western part of Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province and in Tibet, covering a total area of 4.5 million hectares. In November 2014, the process to nominate Hoh Xil as a World Natural Heritage site was launched. At 13:00 on the afternoon of July 7, 2017, at the 41st World Heritage Committee meeting held in Krakow, Poland, Hoh Xil was approved for inclusion in the World Heritage List by unanimous agreement of the committee. It became China’s 51st world heritage site and also the largest natural world heritage site in the country.
The Hoh Xil **Class Nature Reserve is located in the inland lake area of the Qiangtang Plateau, at the junction of the water systems of the northern source of the Yangtze River. The east is the northern source system of the Yangtze River, formed by the Chumal River system, while the west and north are endorheic systems centered around lakes. There are 107 lakes in the area with an area of over 1 square kilometer. There are 7 lakes with an area of over 200 square kilometers. The largest of them is Lake Ulan Ula, with a surface area of 544.5 square kilometers; it is the fourth largest lake in Qinghai Province. Most of the lakes in Hoh Xil are saline or brackish lakes with high mineralization levels. Modern glaciers are widespread in this area, with a total glacier area of 2,000 square kilometers. These include the Bukadaban ice cap glacier, the Malanshan glacier, and the Gangzari glacier, among others. The region boasts many unique natural features, such as valley glaciers, surface frosty mounds and cryovores, rock formations and stone circles, colorful highland lakes, salt flowers blooming around salt lakes, as well as groups of hot springs beneath modern glaciers with water temperatures reaching 91°C. These elements together constitute distinctive tourist resources.
“Hoh Xil means “blue mountain ridges” in Mongolian (it is also said to mean “beautiful maiden”, with the difference lying in pronunciation). The Tibetan language refers to this region as “Aqin Gongja””
The Kokoxili movie is really touching!
\"Kekexili\" is a drama film produced by Huayi Brothers Media Co., Ltd., directed by Lu Chuan, and starring Duobojie, Zhang Lei, Qidao, and others. On October 1, 2004, the film was released in the Chinese mainland. The film tells the story of journalist Gayu and mountain patrol officers who, in order to protect the Tibetan antelopes and the ecological environment in Hoh Xil, fought tenaciously against poachers of these animals, even at the cost of their own lives. In 2004, the film won awards such as the Jury Prize at the 17th Tokyo International Film Festival and the Best Film award at the 41st Taiwan Golden Horse Film Awards.
If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten about this movie; not many people watch it
It remains vivid in my memory because: 1) the efforts to protect the Tibetan antelopes were truly tragic, and 2) there is a character played by Qi Liang who goes by the name Liu Dong – the same name as mine」
After reading the introduction, this is a tragic character
It’s better not to go on a trip; everyone can stay in peace without any disturbances
