2. Altitude-related hot events
1.New energy development boom: Plateau wind power projects have triggered discussions. Jiuquan’s multi-million-kilowatt wind power base has become the focus of the recent energy field due to its altitude advantage (1,500-2,200 meters).
2.Travel safety warning: Gannan Prefecture has experienced a surge in requests for help due to altitude sickness during the peak tourist season. Data shows that the number of medical requests for help in scenic spots above 3,000 meters increased by 35% year-on-year.
| Scenic spots | Altitude (meters) | average daily reception | The incidence of altitude sickness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Labrang Monastery | 2,900 | 4,200 people | 3.2% |
| Zagana | 3,300 | 3,800 people | 5.7% |
| Langmusi | 3,600 | 2,500 people | 8.1% |
3.Breakthrough in agricultural drought resistance technology: The Longzhong Dry Farming Agricultural Zone (1,800-2,400 meters above sea level) promoted new film coating technology, which increased potato yield per mu by 40%. The relevant report received 2.3 million views within 7 days.
3. Data related to altitude and climate
| altitude range | Average annual temperature (℃) | Annual precipitation (mm) | main crops |
|---|---|---|---|
| <1,000 meters | 12-14 | 500-600 | wheat, corn |
| 1,000-2,000 meters | 8-10 | 300-400 | Potato, flax |

4. New progress in transportation construction
1. The Lanzhou-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway (Lanzhou altitude 1,520 meters → Zhangye altitude 1,480 meters) has completed the altitude drop test and is expected to be opened to traffic by the end of 2024.
2. The Uma Expressway (Gansu Section) passes through a high altitude area of 2,800 meters. The frozen soil construction technology has been patented and the related topic has been read 120 million times.
5. Ecological protection hot spots
An infrared camera in the Qilian Mountains National Park (average altitude 3,500 meters) captured footage of snow leopards raising children for the first time, and the video was viewed more than 8 million times within 72 hours.
| protected area | Core area altitude | Newly discovered species | Hot search index |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qilian Mountains | 3,200-4,500 | desert cat | 1,850,000 |
| Gahai Zecha | 3,400 | black-necked crane | 920,000 |
Conclusion
Gansu Province's altitude spans from 550 meters to 5,798 meters, shaping diverse natural landscapes and socio-economic forms. Recent hot spots show that high-altitude areas are becoming important areas for new energy, eco-tourism and scientific research and exploration, while mid- and low-altitude areas continue to make efforts in modern agriculture and transportation construction. This altitude data map is the key to understanding the development of Gansu.
