Qinghai is the second largest region in China, but it’s sparsely populated owing to its inhospitable terrain and climate. Only a few people are able to tolerate the high altitude that leads to harsh winters and ferocious winds in the desert landscape that cause sandstorms.
The region is traditionally inhabited by nomadic tribes of Tibetans and Mongols, who have been the predominant cultural influence in the region. Qinghai has a special symbolic and strategic influence as the life giver of Asia. It’s the source of the three Great Rivers: yellow river, Yangtze, and  Mekong river, which in total support over 800 million people with water.
