Every year, Hoh Xil in the northeast corner of the vast Qinghai-Xizang Plateau becomes a bustling corridor for the annual migration of Tibetan antelopes. To ensure these magnificent creatures safely cross the expansive Qinghai-Xizang Highway, dedicated rangers from the Wudaoliang Conservation Station implement strict traffic controls and enforce a car horn ban.
For drivers traversing this scenic route, patience is key. Waiting for the antelopes can sometimes test drivers' endurance, requiring a dozen attempts of back-and-forth crossings before the graceful animals make their way to the other side.
This harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife highlights the importance of conservation efforts and the lengths taken to protect endangered species like the Tibetan antelope.
