There are more than 53,000 glaciers here, covering an area of more than 47,000 square kilometers and with an ice reserve of more than 4,300 cubic kilometers, making China the most developed region of glaciers in the middle and low latitudes of the earth. However, in today's rapidly warming world, glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. If the drastic warming continues, we will say goodbye to most glaciers one by one by the end of this century.
Maybe you have never thought about the fate of glaciers, but today, on the occasion of the arrival of World Earth Day in 2022, please join the Planet Research Institute to understand the present and future of these ice and snow rivers.

In Qinghai, there is a place that looks the least like the Earth on Earth.
The mountains here are bizarre, the lakes here are colorful, the deserts here are so simple that they are only black and white, but the man-made objects are full of unparalleled science fiction.
It is the Qaidam Basin, one of the four major basins in China. It used to be an ocean, but now it is an alien world.
As the last episode of the second season of the natural geography documentary "Mountains and Rivers of China", @BYD Auto @Fangchengbao Auto and @Planet Research Institute came to this place that seems like an alien world to explore the disappearance of a super lake.
