Kunlun Mountains Pass is the only way from Qinghai and Gansu to Tibet by road trip. The Kunlun Pass is 4,767 meters above sea level. For most travelers to Tibet, the Kunlun Mountain Pass is the first place to challenge the altitude response. The Yuxu Peak and Yuxian Peak, snow-covered and fog-shrouded all the year round, stand on the east and west sides of the Kunlun Mountain Pass.
Kunlun Mountain Pass is located in the middle section of Kunlun Mountain, 160 kilometers south of Golmud City. Taking Golmud as a starting point, the price of chartered cars around Kunlun Mountain is 400-500 yuan, and can be visited together with Yuzhufeng and Sonan Dajie Protection Station.
