Introduction

Zhunai Lake is a name derived from the Tibetan transliteration. It is a gathering place for Tibetan antelopes. Most Tibetan antelopes in the world live in the Qiangtang Plateau, and during July and August each year, most of the female antelopes here gather on a small grassland on the south bank of Zhunai Lake to give birth. By September, they will return to the wintering ground to meet the male antelopes. At this time, tens of thousands of female antelopes will gather on the south bank of Zhunai Lake, some have given birth to lively and cute lambs, while others are waiting for new life to come. At an altitude of 5404 meters on Mount Kairuzhen, tens of thousands of Tibetan antelopes gallop magnificently, creating waves of heat and gentle and beautiful Tibetan antelope calls lingering in the air. This spectacular scene is truly breathtaking.
