Nestled in the northeast of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, Qinghai Province is the birthplace of three of Asia’s mighty rivers: the Yangtze, Yellow, and Lancang. Revered as the ‘water tower of Asia,’ Qinghai holds a pivotal role in the continent’s ecological balance.
In August 2016 and June 2021, President Xi Jinping visited Qinghai, emphasizing the importance of protecting its unique ecological environment. His call to action resonated throughout the province, inspiring initiatives to safeguard the delicate ecosystems that nurture the lifelines of billions downstream.
Today, Qinghai is embracing Chinese-style modernization, weaving together ecological preservation with sustainable development. The province is not only a guardian of natural treasures but also a burgeoning destination welcoming guests from around the globe. Travelers and culture enthusiasts are discovering Qinghai’s rich tapestry of landscapes and traditions, while business professionals and investors explore new economic opportunities arising from responsible development.
Qinghai’s transformation reflects China’s broader commitment to harmonizing growth with environmental stewardship. As scholars and researchers delve into the successes of these initiatives, Qinghai stands as a beacon of balanced progress, inviting the world to witness its journey from the source of three rivers to a harmonious blend of nature and modernity.
