About Gaoligong Mountains
Gaoligong Mountain, an awe-inspiring natural barrier, stretches across the northwest region of Yunnan Province. Its unique geographical position and complex topographical features nurture a complete ecosystem ranging from tropical rainforests to alpine temperate forests, making it one of the global hotspots for biodiversity conservation. Known as the "World Species Gene Pool," this mountain is home to rich plant and animal resources, including many rare and endangered species. The mountain's unique vertical climate belt presents a stunning landscape where "one mountain experiences four seasons, and weather varies every ten miles."
In addition, Gaoligong Mountain holds historical significance as an essential passage on the ancient Southern Silk Road and the Tea Horse Road, bearing witness to the long history of cultural exchanges between China and other regions. Here, various ethnic groups, including the Dai, Lisu, De'ang, Yi, Bai, and Hui, live in harmony, contributing to a unique and rich ethnic cultural atmosphere. Gaoligong Mountain is not only a natural treasure trove but also a place full of cultural charm.
