The Scenic Mt. Zhuo-Er 卓尔山
The Zhuo-Er mountain is part of Qilian Mountain Range 祁连山脉 and is composed of red sandstones. It is also known locally as “Zong Mu Ma glaze Ma” (Tibetan), which means beautiful Queen of Ruby. The Zhuo-Er mountain scenic area is located in Babao Town of Qilian County in northern Qinghai Province 青海省. One of the best months to visit Zhuo-Er mountain is July, as the rapeseed flowers 油菜花 are blooming, and with its breathtaking surrounding landscape, the whole place is utterly mesmerising.
