3. The longest, widest and most typical north-south mountain group in China is the only region with water systems in both the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

4. Located in the southeast of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it is usually the general name of the North and South Mountains in the west of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces and the east of Xizang Autonomous Region.

It is named because it "crosses" the traffic between east and west.

6. The name "Hengduan Mountain Range" originated from Huang Maocai, a tribute of Jiangxi in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, he visited the birthplace of "Black Water" from Sichuan via Yunnan. Because he saw the mountains between Lancang River and Nujiang River parallel to the south, he gave the mountains in this area an image name "Hengduan Mountain".
