The Qilian Mountain National Park in Zhangye, Northwest China's Gansu province looks picture-perfect after a summer snowfall, with its mountains wreathed in lingering mist and pristine, white snow.

Qilian Mountains boast a variety of beautiful natural landscapes. In the summer, clouds float above green mountains, cooling the region and making it the perfect place to escape the heat. Snowfields that never melt create a sparkling scene of peace and serenity.
