Early in the morning on July 20th, the Xinjiang Corps Thirteen Division Huangtian Farm Big Stone Management Guard, Abulu Kimu, Abutu, Headu, and took the players to start the daily glacier patrol journey.

When the snow lotus blooms, it is also the most serious period of snow lotus chaos. The Thirteen Division gives full play to the role of management and protection stations, organizes management caregivers, and strengthens the key distribution area, wild animal habitats and snowdrops such as snow lotus and other animal and plant resources. The inspection and patrol of the seedling growth zone and the detention. The car dealers enter the mountains at an altitude of more than 3,500 meters. The road behind can only be treated, and two mountains need to be turned over to reach the glacier and Snow Lotus Reserve. At this time, the controller had a altitude response such as accelerated heartbeat and headache and dizziness to varying degrees. Everyone had to walk dozens of meters and take a rest for a while to adjust their breath. After three and a half hours of difficulty, the controller finally reached the edge of the glacier, and the large snow lotus brought everyone to the spirit.

In April 2019, the Thirteen Division launched the implementation of the ecological protection and restoration project of Dong Tianshan to incorporate the 572,000 acres of grassland around the Callek glaciers around the Tianshan Mountains into the ban on animal husbandry. List as the Xuelian Reserve. For this reason, 120 herdsmen in Huangtian Farm took the initiative to move out of the Snow Mountain Ranch. 18 were herdsmen who had been holding sheep with sheep in generations.

In the winter, the controller patrolled twice a week. When the snow lotus blooms, the managers must patrol them once a day. The changing weather on the snow mountain has become the biggest "enemy" in each managers into the mountains.

When you encounter bad weather, sometimes you go in in the morning, and you can return in the middle of the night, and there will be danger of mudslides at any time, although they have never stopped the pace of patrol.

Over the past few years, the Thirteen Division selected snow lotus seeds through the area near the Karryk glacier, regularly monitoring, grasping the growth habits, collecting relevant basic data such as the protection and repair, etc. Monitoring, the comprehensive vegetation cover of the restricted area has increased from 50.2%to 60.5%, the vegetation height increased from 15 cm to 30 cm, and the density of snow lotus increased by more than 70%over previous years.

Put down the ecological control staff of the shepherbow whip, and over the mountains, the guardianship of the wind, snow, mud, and soil, in exchange for a beautiful and snowy lotus water in the world.
