Nestled within the Qinling Zhongnanshan Global Geopark near Xi'an City in the northwest Chinese mainland, Cuihua Mountain offers a unique blend of towering peaks, tranquil alpine lakes, and winding caves. Known locally as a "natural oxygen bar," this landmark sits at elevations ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 meters, where crisp, clean air supports a rich biodiversity that draws hikers and researchers alike.
Data-driven insights show that the Qinling region hosts over 3,000 plant species and 350 vertebrate species, including rare flora like the Qinling spruce and fauna such as the golden takin. Recent environmental monitoring indicates PM2.5 levels consistently below 20 μg/m³, making it an ideal spot for city dwellers seeking a breath of fresh air.
Beyond its ecological value, Cuihua Mountain has one of the Chinese mainland’s most remarkable landslide formations, carved over millennia by seismic shifts and erosion. Visitors often gather at sunrise on the mountain’s east ridge to witness hues of pink and gold painting the rugged landscape—a mesmerizing spectacle captured live by local conservation teams.
Whether you’re an eco-adventurer, tech-savvy traveler, or simply curious about global natural wonders, Cuihua Mountain invites you to step into a living laboratory of geology, climate and culture. Tune in for a real-time tour and immerse yourself in the fresh mountain air—your global passport to nature starts here.
