Features: The Qinghai Plateau boasts a long history of human development. Archaeologists have discovered Paleolithic cultures dating back tens of thousands of years in today's "no-man's land" of Kekexili. From a wealth of cultural remnants and numerous historical records, it has been confirmed that when the Chinese territory was under the Xia, Shang, Zhou dynasties or even earlier, the vast land to the west of the territory was inhabited by nomadic tribes such as the Qiang and Rong, with activities primarily centered in the central region. This book, in its compilation, strives to integrate the unique and spectacular natural landscapes of the Qinghai Plateau, the Roof of the World, with the Kunlun culture embodied by the ancient Kingdom of Xi Wangmu, as well as the traditions of multiple ethnic groups. These elements are woven into seven carefully selected travel routes, thereby presenting the mysterious and alluring tourist paradise of Qinghai in great detail and authenticity to the world.
