en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's Qinghai Province recently unveiled a plateau tourist highway network covering the entire southern Qinghai region and connecting five major themed areas. The network was introduced at a promotion conference for the "Route 00" tourist highway and five No. 1 integrated transport-tourism ecological landscape avenues, offering new loop options for summer travel. With the full deployment of the "Route 00" tourist highway and the five No. 1 integrated transport-tourism ecological landscape avenues, the province's "one core, one loop, multiple belts" main framework for eco-tourism highways is accelerating. The brand "Colorful Plateau Roads, Grand Beauty of Qinghai" continues to gain popularity, drawing more attention to lesser-known towns and pristine scenic areas along the routes.
As the highlight of the promotion conference, the "Route 00" tourist highway covers the entire areas of Huangnan, Golog, and Yushu prefectures, radiating to key regions such as Xining and Golmud, with unique resources along the route. This premium corridor, integrating ecological sightseeing, cultural exploration, and folk experience, connects plateau landscapes such as snow-capped mountains and glaciers, grasslands and wetlands, and river source areas, while embodying profound cultural connotations including Kunlun culture, ethnic unity, and the "Two Roads" spirit. The 2,825-km main loop, based on the existing national and provincial trunk road network, adopts a dual-line parallel model of "expressway plus national highway," balancing long-distance rapid transit with in-depth slow travel experiences along the route, fully activating the cultural and tourism resource potential of southern Qinghai.
Qinghai has simultaneously launched five No. 1 integrated transport-tourism ecological landscape avenues—Qinghai Lake, Qilian Mountains, Tang-Tibet Ancient Road, Kunlun Mountains, and Qaidam—forming a province-wide integrated transport-tourism road network system of "Route 00 main loop plus five No. 1 characteristic branches," injecting new momentum into regional cultural and tourism development.
