Animaqing is also my first time. Starting from Yinchuan to Xining, then from Xining to Maqin County, Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, and then the Animaqing Snow Mountain Expressway is partially open to traffic, it is estimated that the full opening time is not far away.

Animaqing. The scenery along the way is very charming, I like the scenery here very much.

Animaqing is currently being hosted by the Maqin County Committee of the Communist Party of China and the County Government, co-organized by the Shenzhen Mountaineering Association, the 2017 Animaqing Snow Mountain Extreme Off-Road Race, which has opened our journey to the holy land of our hearts here. The pure land of snow, the secret realm of Maqin, so we came here.

On the evening of July 29th, I arrived in Maqin County and stayed at Gesar Grand Hotel. The hotel conditions are good, clean and hygienic.

On the 30th, we went into the mountains to scout. We met people who were circumambulating the mountain. They were all walking around the mountain. I didn’t see any Tibetan compatriots who were kowtowing and circumambulating the mountain.

July 31st. Athletes and volunteers conducted high-altitude adaptation training and then physical examinations. On the first day I arrived in Maqin County, I felt slightly unwell, my head was a little dizzy, after a day of rest, the symptoms gradually disappeared, now, I can run on the plateau!

The ultraviolet rays here are very strong, so you must be dressed tightly. My skin has started to peel.

Animaqing is a sacred mountain. The main peak of Animaqing, “Maqing Gangri”, consists of three peaks over 6,000 meters above sea level. The highest peak is 6282 meters above sea level. Animaqing is also the site of Avalokiteshvara, and it is called the four sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism along with Gang Rinpoche in Tibet, Meili Snow Mountain in Yunnan and Gado Gowo in Yushu.

Seeing a pile of bones, you feel very scared, these are the bones of birds and yaks. I guess these yaks know that they are the bones of their compatriots, so they are here.

The mountain of Animaqing is majestic and magnificent. There is snow all year round, and the climate is very changeable. The average altitude of the off-road racecourse is 4344 meters, the highest altitude is 4743 meters, and the lowest altitude is 3921 meters.

Because Animaqing is currently hosting the 2017 Snow Mountain Speed, I took the opportunity to take a few photos of Animaqing Snow Mountain scenery while the athletes haven’t arrived yet. The off-road racecourse is set up here. No. 4 supply station, which is also the highest place.

The scenery here is the best, but the altitude is the highest, the weather is like a child’s face, it changes as it pleases.

Mudslides often occur here, so be very careful.

This time I came here, not only did I appreciate the scenery and saw the beautiful snow-capped mountains, but I also saw the fighting spirit of the athletes on the plateau, especially the spirit of the women, which is worth learning seriously, and it was a very meaningful trip. You don’t know until you see it, but once you see it, you feel differently.
