| The Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas refer to Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nujiang River, which originate from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and run over 170 kilometers in Yunnan Province from north to south. They flow through the Dandanglika Mountain, the Gaoligong Mountain, the Nushan Mountain and the Yunling Mountain, forming a rare and peculiar geography landscape in the world—three parallel rivers without meeting. The shortest straight line distance between the Lancang River and Jinsha River is 66 kilometers and that between the Lancang River and Nujiang River is less than 19 kilometers. [China.org.cn] |
