Golmud Hydropower Station

　　Introduction     The majestic Golmud Hydropower Station on the Golmud River is known as the Pearl at the Foot of the Kunlun Mountains. The Golmud River is a major river along the southern edge of the Qaidam Basin. Behind it lies a shimmering artificial reservoir with a capacity of over four million cubic meters; in front of it stretches a soaring iron suspension bridge spanning the rugged canyon. Water from the reservoir gushes out through the dam’s three floodgates, resembling snow spray or a waterfall, with jade-like droplets splashing and mist rising into the air.  　    Transportation      Accessible via Bus No. 40.
