Imagine cruising one of the world's highest roads – the Qinghai-Xizang Highway – and spotting herds of Tibetan antelopes galloping across the vast Hoh Xil landscape. 🌄 This isn’t a nature documentary; it’s a real-life spectacle happening in northwest China!
Migration Magic 🦌
Every summer (May-July), over 100,000 pregnant Tibetan antelopes embark on an epic journey to Zonag Lake in Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve to give birth. By August, they return with their calves – a wildlife phenomenon you can witness firsthand!
Highway Heroes 🚧
Local patrols temporarily halt traffic on this 1,937-km highway (elevation: 4,000+ meters!) to let antelopes cross safely. Talk about a green light for conservation! 🚦
Road Trip Rewards 🚗
Opened in 1954, this engineering marvel connects Xining to Lhasa. But the real VIPs? Those fluffy antelope calves stealing travelers' hearts ❤️.
