Kekexili is a mysterious place on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, and overcoming altitude sickness to reach here is not an easy task. From the picture, it can be seen that the blue sky, white clouds, and air are transparent.

Brilliant contrasting colors between the blue sky and gold sands really works. I like the reflection too. Ideally, the power lines wouldn't in the picture. Posted: 01/18/2026 01:56:22
