"Consisting of eight geographical clusters of protected areas within the
boundaries of the Three Parallel Rivers National Park, in the
mountainous north-west of Yunnan Province, the 1.7 million hectare site
features sections of the upper reaches of three of the great rivers of
Asia: the Yangtze (Jinsha), Mekong and Salween run roughly parallel,
north to south, through steep gorges which, in places, are 3,000 m deep
and are bordered by glaciated peaks more than 6,000 m high. The site is
an epicentre of Chinese biodiversity. It is also one of the richest
temperate regions of the world in terms of biodiversity." -http://whc.unesco.org
Beautiful view!
Thank you so much Chenlin for increasing my UNESCO postcards collection!
