Features: The Kekexili National Nature Reserve, known as the "Princess of the Wild," boasts unique and diverse natural landscapes and a wealth of wildlife. It is the birthplace of Fuwa, the snow leopard mascot of the 29th Olympic Games. Tan Yibo, who served as a volunteer in Kekexili twice, wrote this book, which provides great help to readers in understanding the tourist attractions of Kekexili. Cai Gai, Director of the Kekexili National Nature Reserve, said today that the unique natural landscapes and rich ethnic culture of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are becoming a paradise for urban tourists. When we step into this mysterious realm and immerse ourselves in the blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, as well as religious and folk cultures, do we not also feel infinite gratitude for the spiritual solace bestowed upon us by the Roof of the World? The publication of this book, "Traveling Along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway," perfectly helps us find the source of that solace and gratitude.
Yang Xin, President of the Green River Environmental Protection Promotion Association, a renowned scientist, explorer, and photographer, expressed his gratitude: "I am grateful for the journey on this beautiful plateau, which has made the world in front of me grow larger; I am grateful for the creatures of this pure land, which have taught me humility and reverence for life; I am grateful that my frail life has been adorned with magnificent colors." The snow-capped mountains remain, and the sun sets red time and again. Do I see the snow-capped mountains, or do the snow-capped mountains see me? Friends, when traveling, please remember to respect and protect this rare.
Cao Fengying (Namtso), author of "Tibet Travel Guide" and "Inner Mongolia Travel Guide," is known online as "Blue Bird." Born in the 1970s, she loves traveling and dancing. From covering travel news to specializing in travel sections, tourism has become an indispensable part of her career. She is straightforward like someone from Chongqing and generous like someone from Qinghai. Deep down, she is like Sanmao—a woman who loves wandering and drifting. She enjoys outdoor activities and tries various new projects, once soaring like a bird in the sky and passing through "ballet" on ice walls. Her admiration lies in the snow-capped mountains of "there," and her idea of a "romantic thing" is counting stars with a loved one by Qinghai Lake.
