Mohe Camel Farm
莫河驼场
An old camel farm about 18 km south of Chaka Town, once the base of the 1950s Tibet Transport Corps. It has cave-dwelling ruins and a museum of the Qinghai-Tibet camel caravans, with herds of Bactrian camels on the grasslands.
Mohe Camel Farm lies about 18 km south of Chaka Town in Ulan County. In the 1950s, the Tibet Work Committee's camel transport corps prepared here to haul supplies into Tibet. Caravans led by General Mu Shengzhong set out from this place, and it is regarded as one of the origins of the 'Spirit of the Two Highways.' The farm still preserves large cave dwellings where camel drivers once lived, along with artifacts such as rubber-tired carts used during the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. The Mohe Qinghai-Tibet Camel Caravan History Museum displays exhibits including the first five-star red flag to cross the Tanggula Mountains and reach Lhasa. Herds of Qaidam Bactrian camels graze on the surrounding pastures, and they have recently become a popular photo spot on social media. It is well suited to a stop on the way after visiting Chaka Salt Lake, and a visit takes about an hour. Check opening hours and reservations on site. Keep your distance from the camels and do not feed them.
