Specifically, leaders in Qinghai province ordered the closure of Bitcoin mining pools on Wednesday (June 9) and banned related companies from operating in the province. On the same day, leaders in the city of Changji in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region ordered the closure of the mines here, which hold the largest Bitcoin mining capacity in the world. Inside a cryptocurrency mine in Sichuan. Meanwhile, searches for the keywords Huobi, Binance and OKEx have also been blocked on the search engine Baidu and on the social network Weibo. These are the three major virtual currency exchanges in the world and are used by the Chinese to trade cryptocurrencies. This is the second time Weibo has blocked cryptocurrency-related content in the past few months. In March, the social media accounts of the three exchanges were blocked by Weibo for unknown reasons. Earlier, Weibo also blocked the account of Binance co-founder and famous shark Justin Sun. A series of moves to crack down on virtual currencies from China has caused Bitcoin to plummet since the middle of last month, at times dropping more than 50% from its peak to $30,000. The reason given is because virtual currency mining goes against China’s goal of being carbon neutral by 2060. According to data from the University of Cambridge, Bitcoin miners consume about 111.5 Terawatts per hour in a year, equivalent to the total electricity consumed in the Netherlands. On Monday, the Chinese regulator held a meeting to emphasize the task of strengthening the supervision of blockchain platforms, VPN (virtual private network) services and cross-border technologies with gambling elements. . China is taking over the world’s largest Bitcoin mining capacity. (source: Cambridge University) China currently accounts for about 65% of global Bitcoin mining capacity, according to the University of Cambridge. Among them, the regions of Xinjiang, Sichuan and Inner Mongolia currently account for the largest capacity. Qinghai province ranked ninth, accounting for about 0.26% of total capacity. The Inner Mongolia region began cracking down on miners in February and shut down 35 mining companies at the end of April. Sichuan is currently the most neutral place when it comes to hydroelectricity instead of coal mines and no new policy has yet been introduced. Outside of China, miners are actively looking for new homes. The President of El Salvador has officially recognized Bitcoin as a legal currency and promoted the mining of this virtual currency using geothermal energy from volcanoes.

I knew you were “watching”

These places are not only blessed with natural scenery, ancient and profound historical humanities, but also have roads that allow old drivers to show their skills, whether they are adventurous, unobstructed, or primitive…In short, on the road of self-driving, everything is “isolated from the crowds.” “, freedom and chic have become synonymous with flying souls. Among them, the most favorite is Tibet, the most yearning is Xinjiang, the most profound is Western Sichuan, the most memorable is Gannan, and Qinghai… makes me feel that the wind is the most free. Qilian County, named after being located in the hinterland of the middle section of Qilian Mountains, is adjacent to the Hexi Corridor of Gansu, the main passage of the ancient Silk Road to the north, so it is known as the “North Gate” of Qinghai. Self-driving here is really fresh in my memory. The area of ​​Qilian County is amazing. It covers 14,000 square kilometers, accounting for 41% of the total land area of ​​the prefecture. The average elevation in the territory is 3169 meters, and the county seat is 2,787 meters above sea level. For self-driving travel enthusiasts, Qilian is definitely a paradise for self-driving. Its altitude is relatively comfortable. At the same time, it has beautiful scenery such as snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands and ancient temples. It is an important plateau eco-tourism destination in Qinghai Province. The epitome of “Damei Qinghai”. It is also an important resource-rich area in Qinghai Province. It is known as the “Ural of China” and has the reputation of “Qilian” and “Oriental Switzerland”. The main scenic spots in Qilian are Zhuoer Mountain, Qilian Mountain Grassland, Bayi Glacier, etc., which are known as “Heavenly Qilian” and “Oriental Switzerland”. The Qilian Mountain where it is located has even more meaning of “Tianshan”. The Qilian Mountain Range is located in the northeast of China’s Qinghai Province and the western border of Gansu Province. It is one of the main mountain ranges in China. It stretches from northwest to southeast. There are 3306 glaciers. The peaks are usually 4000-5500 meters above sea level, and peaks above 4000 meters above sea level. It is covered with snow all year round, and the mountain valleys are also between 3000-3500 meters above sea level. The entire area is about 2062 square kilometers, which is known as the “Wanbao Mountain”. At the same time, it also has many mysterious legends, such as the “most mysterious” mountain in China. Where is the “Buzhou Mountain” recorded in historical books and legends? Some people say that it is Qilian Mountain. Qilian scenery in autumn is very beautiful. This is a rare scenery on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is completely different from most people’s impression of the desolation and barrenness of the Qinghai-Tibet land. There are dense virgin forests here, dominated by Qinghai spruce, juniper, poplar, and sea buckthorn, with a forest coverage rate of 13.5%. There is also the Qilian Mountain grassland, one of the six most beautiful grasslands in China. The Qilian Mountain grassland is one of the scenic spots not to be missed when driving in Qilian. Its representative Damaying Grassland is in the basin between Yanzhi Mountain and Qilian Mountain. In July and August each year, the Qilian Mountains, which are adjacent to the grassland, are still covered in silver, but the grasslands are “blue waves”, dotted with cattle, horses, and sheep, which are spectacular and unique. In addition to the magnificent natural scenery, Qilian also has splendid multicultural treasures. For thousands of years, the ancestors who lived here have created countless splendor. There are the Cayo cultural site, the Bronze Age culture of the northwest region; there are ancient square cities, triangle cities, and Ebao ancient cities, of which Ebao ancient city is ancient silk One of the important stations on Lulu South Road; there is also the quaint and clean Arou Great Temple. Of course, the most beautiful scenery in Qilian is still on the road by self-driving. The idyllic scenery above the mountains is on both sides of the road. Open the windows or skylights, listen to the song of the road, let the wind blow on your cheeks, and feel the chic of chasing the wind. Will also deeply appreciate the freedom of wind.

Just use the beauty of Qinghai to heal all unhappiness!

Qinghai is like the silent female classmate in the class.

She has average grades and has never been the focus of the school, and her name is rarely found on various transcripts and honor bars.

As for herself, she didn’t care about it, she always looked like she was calm and calm, she didn’t fight or grab.

Compared with the top classmates, Qinghai’s presence is not strong.

Even when someone heard her name for the first time, they either nodded repeatedly and praised the beer, or envied the comfort of living by the sea, completely conflating her with the coastal city of Qingdao.

But to those who have witnessed her beauty, they all know that Qinghai can be regarded as a well-deserved white moonlight, even if it is simple and low-key, it can hardly conceal its own charm.

In terms of beauty, Qinghai is a natural beauty that is difficult to abandon. With a bowl of rice rewarded by God, you can stay in the school flower list without much trouble.

Whenever the July heats up, large tracts of rapeseed and Qinghai Lake complement each other, and from a distance, there are only flowers yellow, lake blue, sky blue and grass green;

Every time when the sky is clear, the Chaka Salt Lake is like a fairyland, the sky and the lake, the people and the shadows are both true and false, and you can take a small train and instantly cross into the world of Spirited Away;

The Emerald Lake is transformed into the eyeshadow tray of the seven fairies left behind on the earth. The green combinations of different saturations are on the earth. Only by witnessing can you believe that everything really exists…

Everyone who sets foot on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will be intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, and can’t help feeling how small he is in this vast world.

And this is just a glimpse of everyone’s surprise.

The most fascinating place in Qinghai is far from the awe-inspiring brought by the good looks at first sight, but that she always makes people happy after a long time.

There is Qinghai in the northwest, which is independent from the world.

In 1988, Haizi took a train passing Delingha, looking at the Gobi in the darkness, he wrote this verse:“This is a desolate city in the rain, except for those who pass by and live.”

Haizi didn’t know. Today, 33 years later, Qinghai is as usual, except for those passing by and living, there are few other lively activities at all.

No way, Qinghai is too big.

There is a story circulating locally:

Two prisoners detained in Haibei Prefecture escaped from the prison. They went all the way to escape, but they did not encounter a place with humans for many days. When they were hunted down, they were both thirsty and starving.

Although the authenticity is unknown, it also fully illustrates the size of Qinghai.

Qinghai is as large as 1.49 Sichuan, but its population is only 70% of Sichuan. On the 109 National Highway, the distance between village and village, town and town is often nearly 100 kilometers.

Map | Qinghai Map

If you travel to Qinghai, you will find that most of your time is spent on the road, and you will never see the turbulent crowds and tall buildings along the way, and there is a vast and wild world.

Such a vast expanse naturally created the desolation of Qinghai, and also nurtured the broad minds of the people of Qinghai.

There are 43 ethnic groups in Qinghai, among which the Tu and Salar are unique ethnic groups in the region.

In addition, there are many people from other provinces who come to do business and construction. They bring their cultures from all corners of the world to their homes and roots in Qinghai.

Different backgrounds, customs, and beliefs have undergone collisions and integrations from generation to generation.

In Xining, the provincial capital of Qinghai, there is the Taer Monastery of Tibetan Buddhism in the southwest, and the Dongguan Mosque of Islam in the east;

Figure 1 | The Holy Land of Tibetan Buddhism-Ta’er Monastery

Figure 2 | Xining Dongguan Mosque

On the Qinghai people’s dining table, even though the materials on the plateau are scarce, they are still full of foods that blend with different places-sweet embryos, yak yogurt, casseroles, glutinous rice cakes, butter milk tea, casseroles, hand lamb…

Someone once said that Tibet is a disease, Xinjiang is an addiction, and Qinghai is a medicine.

This is also the charm of Qinghai. She can use the vastness and desolation of her own world and the unrestrained boldness of the people to quickly heal every soul struggling in the cracks.

Surrounded by its beautiful appearance, Qinghai deeply attracted people from afar with his movements and quietness.

The movement of Qinghai can allow explorers to continuously upgrade and fight monsters.

Even if it’s just to experience high reaction, it is not a small adventure.

In Wudaoliang, where the temperature is low and the soil mercury content is high, many people will be persuaded by the obvious altitude sickness. As a truck driver has summed up over the years: “When you arrive in Wudaoliang, you cry for your father and your mother.”

More advanced players can choose to ride the Qinghai-Tibet line or circle Qinghai Lake.

On the plateau, relying on his own will and endurance to fight the hardships of the plateau a little bit, even if he is small, he can reach the end.

More professional players, that is to climb mountains, climb to the top.

Qinghai has many snow-capped mountains with varying degrees of difficulty. Since the 1980s, a large number of professional climbers and enthusiasts at home and abroad have come to conquer and explore.

The tranquility of Qinghai attracts a large number of cultural people.

In terms of history, there are Princess Wencheng and Riyue Mountain in Qinghai. From here, she is no longer heartbroken, but has become more determined and rushed to Songtsan Gambo;

There is “Oriental Pompeii” in Qinghai, which records the disaster of an earthquake 4,000 years ago;

Figure | Lajia Ruins

In terms of mythology, Qinghai has Kunlun Mountain, one of the top ten secrets in the world, where the horror story of “the gate of hell” was born;

In Qinghai, there is the Tongtian River, where the monk Tang took the scriptures and passed by. Here, the scriptures glued to the stone are left;

In terms of culture, Qinghai has the source of three rivers. From here, the Yangtze River, Yellow River and Lancang River rush out, watering the entire Chinese nation from ancient times to the present;

Qinghai has the Qinghai-Tibet Railway that witnessed the conquest of the plateau by mankind. Here, the Chinese overcame difficulties and built a sky road to bring convenience to Tibetan areas…

This is Qinghai, exuding a unique charm in the midst of movement and silence, which always makes people unable to resist walking over and over again.

This is not a preference, but Qinghai has long since broken away from the beauty of the skin, meeting the expectations of different people in the distance.

Even though Qinghai is always incompetent, the people of Qinghai don’t care how much GDP ranks. When summer comes, they call friends to go to Langshan, grill barbecues, and eat lamb.

In the face of big right and wrong, Qinghai is very rigid, and Qinghai people are even more rigid!

In Hoh Xil, no man’s land, there is a protection station called Sonan Dajie.

Figure | Sonam Takje’s protection station

There is a small exhibition hall in the protection station. There are not many things on display, but it is also telling how Qinghai people protect Hoh Xil.

In 1994, on the way to escort 20 poachers and more than 1,800 Tibetan antelope skins, Sonam Dajie was attacked by criminals. Desperate poachers attacked frantically, and their gunshots echoed over the no-man’s land.

Sonam Dajie died. When the body was found, it had already been frozen into an ice sculpture in the midwinter of minus 40 degrees. He was only 40 years old that year.

In the past 27 years in a hurry, many Sonam Dajies still guarded, guarding their admiration for Sonan Dajie, and guarding the awe of living beings.

How easy is it to protect Hoh Xil?

The terrain here is complicated, hail, rain and snow appear randomly. Every time the car gets stuck, everyone in the car has to unload everything, dig out the car, and put it back in. When bad luck, the bottom of the car is not hot. I have to go down to dig a car again.

Working in a low-temperature no-man’s land all year round, the staff more or less suffer from arthritis, and their knees will feel painful when they walk more, but they just endure it. After all, the 45,000 square kilometers of no-man’s land requires them to record, There are too many patrols and rescues.

Although the staff will deliberately erase the dangerous situation at work, the family members in their patrols are always worried all day long. They can’t help but think about whether they have encountered brown bears, wild wolves, or even bison alone. Can you? Return safely.

Behind all the greatness, there are the silent contributions of ordinary individuals.

If it weren’t for them, there would always be people chasing Tibetan antelopes for a photo or video during the migration season; there would always be people driving through this no-man’s land in order to be able to brag in front of others.

The greatest charm of Qinghai is that the people here are in awe of nature and are able to give and give to other creatures.

It is exactly the same. After experiencing the continuous gunfire, Hoh Xil is still that beautiful green hill and beautiful girl in Tibetan.

Qinghai is very clean. It is one of the world’s four largest pollution-free ultra-clean areas, a kind of inherent purity.

However, with the hot tourism industry and the influx of a large number of tourists, it is no longer possible to guarantee this pure existence by nature alone.

On both sides of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, the most mature tourist route, discarded plastic bags and plastic bottles can be seen everywhere. Their existence between heaven and earth is particularly dazzling.

Figure | Source Vista See the World

Plastic products are difficult to degrade, which is a huge threat to the yak and sheep that have been in a state of stocking.

A herder cut open the abdomen of the dead yak and found that it was filled with rubbish.

Although the local herdsmen are regularly organized to pick up rubbish near the highway, there are also many tourists and volunteers involved, but in the face of the endless stream of tourists every day, their strength seems so weak and weak.

I don’t know, if such a problem is not resolved, will Qinghai still be the white moonlight fluttering in the air, it will be unforgettable at a glance.

I just hope that our children and grandchildren can still be healed by the beauty in front of them when they set foot on this land. Look at the indescribably blue sky and the mountains that go straight into the sky, as if they can hold their pockets when they reach out. In the clouds.

Most people think of beautiful scenery such as Qinghai Lake and Chaka Salt Lake.

However, as part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,

The splendor in Qinghai is much more than that.

In the northwestern part of Qinghai, there is such a magical place.

It is located in the northern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,

For millions of years, they have been “guarded” by a group of mountains above 4000-5000 meters above sea level,

Together with the Tarim Basin and Junggar Basin, they are known as China’s three major inland basins.

he is the one–Qaidam Basin.

People often say that the Qaidam Basin is a “cornucopia”,

He also said that this is the “most Mars-like” place on Earth,

It is vast, arid, desolate, silent, and barren,

Gorgeous, low-key, wild, and full of connotation,

Can satisfy your alien imagination.

01

Chaerhan Salt Lake

China’s largest salt lake

Starting from Golmud,

Let’s welcome Qaidam’s first gift together-

Chaerhan Salt Lake, the largest salt lake in China,

It is different from the Chaka Salt Lake, which is known as the “Mirror of the Sky”,

The status of Chaerhan Salt Lake in the tourism industry is not so high.

But in terms of the beauty of the scenery,

Chaerhan Salt Lake is not inferior to Chaka Salt Lake.

It is surprisingly rich in salt resources,

And the strange scenery of the 32-kilometer-long “Wanzhang Salt Bridge”,

It has made its name resounding for more than half a century.

Due to the extremely high salt content, there is almost no grass around,

Perhaps it is because there is no company with birds, insects, fish, flowers and trees,

Chaerhan Salt Lake reveals a sense of loneliness throughout the year.

But nature still gave Chaerhan Salt Lake the natural “dream coral”

——Salt Flower.

Under the intricate carvings of nature,

The salt flowers have different shapes and are exquisite.

The salt lakes on both sides are endless,

The salt mines here can be used by mankind all over the world for 2000 years!

The meaning of the Qaidam Cornucopia is fully expressed here.

02

Yadan on the water

The only combination of water and Yadan in the world

The earth waved a big hand,

Raised the lake to flood the Yadan group with grotesque rocks,

Form a unique water Yadan.

There are many Yadans in China, not uncommon in the Northwest.

But Yadan on the water is rare,

Yadan, the capital of the devil,

Surrounded by a layer of azure blue water,

Very beautiful and refreshing.

On the blue lake,

Large and small wind-eroded mounds “break through the water”,

The height varies from a few meters to more than a hundred meters,

Constantly changing into a long ridge shape, whale back shape, column shape, wall shape, extremely magnificent,

It’s like a vast ocean out of thin air in the endless desert,

It stands above this vast ocean, magical and mysterious.

The azure lake, the supernatural Yadan landform,

Duck crowing in the sky, geese crowing, water sparkling,

The orange clouds in the morning sun, dunes and lakes form a beautiful and moving picture,

Take photos of Yadan on the water,

The reflection of the golden Yadan waves is so beautiful.

03

Mars Camp

Mars is far away, but Qaidam is very close

To enter the Mars camp, you need to drive 88 kilometers of no man’s land.

Through all kinds of Yadan landscapes,

Then arrive at the Mars camp in the center,

The Oberian Yadan landform where the base is located,

Because of barrenness and drought, no one is inhabited,

The unique topography is called “the least earth-like place on earth”,

Also because of the similarities with Mars’ geomorphic features,

It also made it “the most Mars-like place on earth.”

From afar,

A large piece of Yadan landscape stands like a sculpture,

The Gobi Desert here is desolate and endless,

Those scenes that were once only seen in movies,

The Mars camp is turning the dream of emigrating to Mars into reality,

People travel through it,

It’s like being in a Martian zone, strange and lonely.

it’s here,

The Mars camp is designed as a fully enclosed Mars capsule,

Can provide a complete “Mars landing” experience.

Science fiction writer Liu Cixin once said:

“When I first arrived at Cold Lake,

There is no doubt that he is really in the environment of Mars. ”

04

Mars Highway One

Open the door to Mars

To reach the Mars camp, you need to cross the Mars Highway 1,

The starting point of the highway is between 953 kilometers and 954 kilometers of road signs on G315 national highway.

The end point is the site of the No. 5 oil base in Lenghu,

The Mars Highway 1 has a total length of 88 kilometers,

It is also known as the best Yadan Avenue in the Qaidam Basin.

There is no signal for the entire length of Mars Highway 1,

Completely out of touch,

It wasn’t until reaching the Mars camp that the signal was really received,

After driving a few kilometers, the Yadan group on the ground began to appear.

Deeper and deeper, Yadan’s development becomes more and more mature,

It’s no longer a certain type of Yadan,

It is the coexistence of multiple Yadan types,

There appeared flat-topped square mountain-shaped Yadan, zigzag-shaped Yadan,

Pyramid Qiu Yadan, Fengsuo Yadan…

Dizzying,

This marks the entry into the core part of the Yadan group in the highway.

Must remember,

The road condition of Mars 1 Highway is not particularly good,

Try to drive a four-wheel drive,

And the chassis must be high,

Otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult to make the trip.

If you want to take a trip to Mars on the earth,

How can this road be missing?

05

Oborian

The edge of no man’s land

People only know the name of the Devil City,

But I don’t know this[Oboliang]hidden deep in the Qaidam Basin,

Is the largest Yadan group in the world,

It is said that the most beautiful Yadan in Qaidam is here,

Walk into Oboryan,

It’s like walking into a huge ecstasy formation,

All kinds of Yadan with huge volume and different shapes,

Intricately coded around you,

Feeling lost at any time.

Although you are standing in Oborian,

Yadan is densely packed in front of you,

And in Dachaidan, Qinghai,

In fact, there is another “Emerald Lake”,

More dreamy than Chaka Salt Lake!
