BEIJING, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — To celebrate the 2026 China Tourism Day, a 
series of "Pure Yellow River"-themed tourism activities kicked off at Kanbula UNESCO
Global Geopark in Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in northwest China’s Qinghai
Province on May 19.

Self-driving fleets from the nine provinces and regions along the Yellow River, 
inheritors of intangible cultural heritages, representatives from tourism and culture
companies and tourists gathered in the geopark to experience the area’s ecological
beauty and rich culture.

Covering a total area of 3,149 square kilometers, Kanbula boasts 176 geological 
relic sites of great scientific and aesthetic value. The coverage rate of the Maixiu
virgin forest reaches 51.36 percent, and rare animals such as snow leopards and 
minks are often spotted, forming a beautiful picture of harmony between human and
nature.

The UNESCO announced in April 2025 that Kanbula was officially added to the UNESCO
Global Geoparks Network, marking the second UNESCO global geopark in Qinghai after
Mount Kunlun UNESCO Global Geopark.

The event was filled with a festive atmosphere. A tourism promotional video for 
the "Pure Yellow River" tourism belt was displayed during the warm-up session, showcasing
the magnificent scenery of snow-capped mountains and glaciers, Danxia landform and
gorges, grasslands and wetlands, and cultural and historical sites along the Yellow
River in Qinghai.

To help tourists better appreciate the beauty of the Yellow River, the event launched
boutique travel routes for Qinghai’s "Pure Yellow River" tourism belt, including
the origin of the Yellow River, Kanbula Danxia landform, Longyang Gorge and Hehuang
Valley, providing visitors with a clear "must visit" guide.

Meanwhile, tourism promotion packages for the 2026 China Tourism Day were released,
including ticket discounts at major scenic spots across the province, cultural and
tourism consumption vouchers, hotel and homestay discounts, and preferential prices
for cultural and tourism performances.

At a local fair, a dazzling variety of intangible cultural heritage products and
agricultural specialties attracted large crowds of visitors. As the Kanbula UNESCO
Global Geopark gains greater recognition, the specialties made with traditional 
techniques such as yak yogurt have become must-buys for visitors, said a local villager
who was also a vendor at the fair. "Many villagers have earned more income by selling
them. It has also enabled the flavors of Tibetan villages to reach beyond the mountains."
