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. 🌍💚
