Nestled deep in the expansive Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, also known as the "roof of the world," the Hoh Xil nature reserve had long suffered from a lack of communication signals, except for the route along the Qinghai-Xizang Highway. It was unimaginable for rangers to update information of endangered species, such as Tibetan antelopes in the nature reserve in time. In May 2023, a 5G base station started operation at the preservation station near Zonag Lake, known as the "delivery room" for Tibetan antelopes, a species under first-class state protection in China.
