Mysterious Kunlun, the source of Sanjiang!The desolate and vast area, why is it called the Asian Water Tower?

When it comes to Kunlun Mountain, we will think of the vast Gobi, the long yellow sand, the high altitude, and the restricted area of ​​life, but how many people know that this is also the source of the three Asian super rivers of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and Lancang River? Does it sound very contradictory? But it is really like this.

Sanjiang source is the first national park in my country and the largest national park in the world. It is located in the hinterland of the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau. The reputation. Moreover, the geographical wonders of the three rivers originated in the same area are unique in the world.

The total area of ​​Sanjiangyuan National Park reaches 123,100 square kilometers, which is larger than the area of ​​many provinces. Mountains, Bayankala Mountains, Tanggula Mountains and other mountains, rivers valley vertically, snowy mountains, glaciers are towering.

The average altitude of this area is above 4500 meters, and the restricted area of ​​more than 5,000 meters is abound. The snowfields are vast. There are many rivers, swamps and lakes. It is melted from the ice and snow of glacier and snow mountain, and then slowly forms countless small rivers, and finally flows into the three large rivers of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and Lancang River.

Although it is called Sanjiangyuan, the source of the three rivers is actually different. In contrast, the source of the Yangtze River is known for its handsome high mountain glaciers, while the source of the Yellow River has a large number of lakes and stars. The spectacle of Lancang River is known for its canyon. It is not only the scenery of the two sides of the strait, but also the paradise of the altitude.

Sanjiang source is very large. In our "Sanjiang Source, Mysterious Kunlun", we actually only reached the periphery of the source of the Yangtze River. zone.

It is understood that the source of the Yangtze River actually has several areas, mainly in the Chumar River, Tuolian River, Tongtian River, and Qu Ma River. The country of Coco is naturally protected by me. The altitude here is 4700 meters. Most people will have plateau reactions when they come here, so do not run or jump strenuous exercise.

When we rise to the drone and overlook this area from the air, although the vegetation is scarce and the drought is raining, the river can still be seen, although we do not know whether the rivers we see are the Qu Ma River written on the logo. , But at least one of the tributaries, will eventually be remitted into the Yangtze River. Speaking of the city and other cities such as Shanghai, Nan, Nan, Nan, and Nan, it is also considered to be the same.

It is said that drinking water sources. As a child in the Yangtze River Basin, when we come to this ecological sensitive and fragile land, we see the high -cold grassland wetlands of high altitude and semi -desert, and it is inevitable that it will intersect in the heart. Rich, but very mysterious and sacred!
