Located in the Yugur Autonomous County in northwest China's Gansu Province, the Bars Snow Mountain, 5,118 meters above sea level, is a sacred mountain in Yugur people’s heart. They are the ancient ethnic minority that live at the foot of the mountain. 

The scenic area is mainly composed of snow-capped mountains, glacial relics, rivers, lakes and alpine grasslands. Its scenery maintains the purity of the nearly extinct natural world.
