Along the way, you will see the magnificent Kunlun Mountain and great glacier scenery after passing Golmud. Qinghai-Tibet Highway will guide you to pass through the wildlife passage of Hoh Xil. You will have a chance to enjoy the rare flora and fauna in Hoh Xil, but also the rare Tibetan antelope running on Tibet plateau. Besides, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will lead you to cross the highest areas of the world, such as the beautiful Toto River – the original headstream of Yangtze River of China, the ancient glacier of the highest plateau of the world, mysterious Tanggula Mountain and Tanggula River. The highest elevation could be 5072 meters. After passing Tanggula Mountain Pass, the terrain becomes flat and the highland pasture appears.
