Western China is a gigantic geological park in nature. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the youngest and most active tectonics unit of plateau in the world. No where can attract the attention of geologists both at home and abroad?

 

Formed by the collision between the India and Eurasia Plate, the Qinghai-Tibet plateau rises to the sky characterized by the unparalleled elevations, unique crustal architecture and awesome mountains and rivers. The history from formation through evolutions to disappearance of the Teyths Ocean in this region remains uncertain. To geologists the plateau is a natural laboratory and a window to probe a number of important geologic events in history. Apart from the plateau landscape, Western China also has the large Turpan Basin with the elevation lower than the sea level, and the neighboring Tarim Basin and Zungar Basin are all the attractive places to geologic scientists.

China Exploration Tour has helped geologists and geographers from other countries to investigate geologic and geomorphological features of Western China in the form of geological excursions.

 

Why China Exploration can offer this service which other travel companies could not compete to organize geological expeditions and excursions? Because we are expertise in organize the necessary travel permit to the most remote and restricted areas due to our closely connected with the government. Besides it, we also have close tie with the Geography Institute providing special and technical assistance. If you required, geologic experts can accompany your excursion groups.
