Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas

Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas

Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas are composed of the Nujiang, Lancang and Jinsha rivers and the mountains within their basins, covering an area of 1.7 million hectares. Under the control of geological structures, the Jinsha, Lancang and Nu rivers run from north to south through the entire region, and are bounded by a narrow zone of 60-100 km, which makes it possible to form the world's unique natural geographical landscape of "rivers flowing together without meeting", and creates the Grand Canyon of the Nu River, the Grand Canyon of the Meili Snow Mountain of the Lancang River and the Grand Canyon of the Tiger Leaping Gorge of the Jinsha River. In July 2003, the Three Parallel Rivers were inscribed on the World Heritage List.
