Baishu Mountain
柏树山
A spur of the Qilian Mountains north of Delingha city, covered in Qilian junipers and mountain streams, and a summer hiking spot for locals.
Baishu Mountain lies about 10 km north of Delingha city and belongs to the Zongwulong spur of the southern Qilian Mountains. Its slopes support stands of Qilian juniper, and its valleys have streams, meadows and tamarisk thickets. In summer wildflowers bloom across the mountain, a striking contrast to the Gobi city below. The scenic area has hiking trails and viewing platforms, from which you can see Delingha's urban area and the Bayin River valley. Entry is free. The elevation is around 3,500 meters or higher, so pace yourself and protect against the sun.
