Located on China's second terrain step, at the transition from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the Loess Plateau.
MICROCLIMATE / TERRAIN
Temperate continental semi-arid climate with ample sunshine, limited rainfall, and a marked day-night temperature range; the urban area is about 1,520 metres above sea level.
The Yellow River runs through a long east-west valley basin in western Loess Plateau, with mountains enclosing the urban area to the north and south.
LOCAL CO-CREATION
The narrow valley terrain, dry air, and strong solar exposure place sustained demands on vehicle cooling, dust protection, and crew hydration.
