Wushao Ling Mountain

Wushao Ling Mountain rises to 3,259 meters above sea level, featuring desert characteristics on its northern slope and substantial environmental diversity across its terrain.

The Northern Silk Road merchants traversed through this mountain region, establishing critical trade connections between eastern and western civilizations through its natural passages.

The mountain holds particular importance for local Tibetan communities, who integrate its presence into their traditional ceremonies and spiritual practices throughout the year.

The Wushaoling Pass at 3,030 meters accommodates China National Highway 312, while the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway operates through a 21-kilometer tunnel beneath the mountain.

The western slope of this mountain, combined with Lanshan Mountain, constitutes more than 30 percent of China's total desert landscape.
