Qiangtang, which means the "northern highland" in Tibetan language, is a high-altitude plateau in the Tibet Autonomous Region. The Qiangtang Nature Reserve, covering an area of more than 200,000 square kilometers, is home to over 100 kinds of wild animals.

With vast highlands and crystal giant lakes, the reserve is a beautiful place but a dangerous destination. Its average altitude is the highest in China at over 5,000 meters. The climate there is harsh and unpredictable, and the winters are cold and Arctic-like. If you are brave enough to go there, I will give you top marks for your courage.
