Qilian Ice and Snow: "Solid Reservoir" Nourishes beautiful homeland

Wetlands, also known as "kidney of the earth", conserve water and nourish the earth.

Listening to the sound of glacier milk flowing, watching the grassland covered with cattle and sheep.

Deep in the Qilian Mountains, the snow-capped mountains melt water, converge into a trickle, flow into rivers and lakes, nourish oases and wetlands, and bring vibrant homes.

"Don't forget the top snow in Qilian Mountain, and mistake Ganzhou for Jiangnan". In Zhangye, a city of wetlands, "half reeds, half towers, three willows and one lake" vividly presents the beauty of wetlands, and the Qilian Mountain Snow Mountain, which can be overlooked from any angle, is the best nourishment of wetlands.

Heihe

The Heihe River, which originated in the middle of the foot of Qilian Mountain, flows through Zhangye, nourishing the oasis with the gift of Qilian Mountain, and extending the feelings of Jiangnan at the foot of Qilian Mountain.

It's the afterglow of the sunset, which brings the poetic feeling of water and sky.

It is a soaring waterfowl, which brings a vibrant water town reverie.

Qilian moistens wetlands and oases live poetically.

In autumn, the grass lake, reeds stretch like golden velvet, and the wetland of Jiayuguan, the pearl of Gobi, is quiet and empty, and the autumn water flows forever. From the desert Gobi to the fragrance of birds and flowers, Jiayuguan turned around gorgeously, and the wetland is still the "green lung" of the city, conserving the urban water source.

Jiayuguan Caohu Lake

East Lake, Yingbin Lake, Taolaijiang River and Jiayuguan have opened up the wetland water system through systematic management, making the Gobi city rippling and subverting people's traditional cognition of Gobi city.

After a long journey, we came to Jiuquan, where "Qiangdi should complain about the willow, but the spring breeze is only Yumenguan". Don't say that the spring breeze is not enough, Qilian is still full of vitality.

Yanchi Bay in northern Jiangsu is intoxicating with water and sky.

The magnificent Xinghai in Yanchi Bay is the vastness of poetry and distance.

The water of Qilian nurtures and guards the agility of Populus euphratica in Shui Ying.

Populus euphratica will not die for a thousand years and will not rot for a thousand years. Because of wetlands and water sources, this tenacious life survives in Jiuquan in a gentler way.

Wuwei Tianma Lake

Gansu Hexi Corridor, * * * enjoys the protection of Qilian Mountain, drinks the snow water of Qilian Mountain, and the oasis nourishes the wetland, and the wetland feeds back the oasis to form a home city.

The same is true of Wuwei, the hometown of Tianma. The water in Tianma Lake and the reeds in Qingtu Lake are all gifts from the depths of Qilian Mountain.
