The Brahmaputra River is the largest river in the world

Yarlung Zangbo River - the place with the richest water energy resources in the world

Edit this paragraph to summarize

Also known as Yarlung Zangbo Jiang.

The highest river in China is in the Tibet Autonomous Region. It is also one of the highest rivers in the world. Originating from the northern foothills of the Himalayas in southwestern Tibet, the Gyemma Yangzong Glacier traverses southern Tibet from west to east, bypassing the Namjagbarwa Peak at the easternmost tip of the Himalayas, turns south, and exits China via Paxika. After entering India, it is called the Brahmaputra River, and after meeting the Ganges in Bangladesh, it flows into the Bay of Bengal. The Chinese part is 1,940 kilometers long and has a drainage area of ??246,000 square kilometers (the total length is 2,840 kilometers and the drainage area is 935,000 square kilometers). The main stream valley develops along the east-west fault zone, and the watershed is a long and narrow belt running east-west with many but short tributaries. The larger tributaries include the Lhasa River, Pajiang Zangbo, Lakkha Zangbo, Nizequ, Nianchu River, etc. The main stream is the upper reaches above Lazi, and the upper reaches of Saga are called Maquan River. The upper reaches of the river bed is above 3,950 meters above sea level, which is an alpine valley zone. The middle reaches from Lazi to Zela have many tributaries, increased flow, widened river valleys, mild climate, and good water conservancy conditions. It is the most developed agricultural region in Tibet. Downstream, it passes through mountain canyons. The river flows suddenly from east to south and then to southwest, forming a horseshoe-shaped river bend that is rare in the world. The famous Dihang Gorge is one of the largest canyons in the world. The total annual runoff as of the national border is 110 billion cubic meters. Floods are formed by heavy rainfall and last for a long time. Due to the abundant water, large and concentrated water, the water resources are very rich. Based on average flow estimates, the natural water energy reserves of the main stream and the five major tributaries alone are more than 90 million kilometres, ranking second only to the Yangtze River and ranking second in China.

The Yarlung Zangbo River is like a silver dragon. It originates from the ice and snow mountains on the northern slope of the middle section of the Himalayas at an altitude of more than 5,300 meters. It flows from west to east through the southern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the "Roof of the World", and finally ends at Paxikar. It flows out of the country nearby and is renamed Brahmaputra River, and flows into the Bay of Bengal through India and Bangladesh. It has a total length of more than 2,057 kilometers in China, ranking fifth among the country's famous rivers; its drainage area is 240,480 square kilometers, ranking sixth in the country; its annual runoff out of the country's borders is 140 billion cubic meters, second only to the Yangtze River and the Pearl River. Ranking third in the country; natural water energy reserves reach 79.116 million kilowatts, second only to the Yangtze River, ranking second in the country. The general elevation of the river bed is more than 3,000 meters above sea level, making it the highest river in the world.

The main stream of the Yarlung Zangbo River can be divided into the source area, upper reaches, middle reaches and lower reaches according to natural conditions, valley shape and flow changes. From the end of the Genma Yangzong Glacier to Rizi is the upper reaches. The river is 268 kilometers long, has a water collection area of ??26,570 square kilometers, and the valley is 1 to 10 kilometers wide. Maquan River runs between the Himalayas in the south and the Gangdise Mountains in the north. The valley is wide, generally 10 to 30 kilometers long. Continuous snow-capped mountains, ribbons, and lakes are all spread out on an endless grassland that looks like emerald green tapestries. This beautiful picture is a reflection of the Maquan River area in the upper reaches. The Maquan River Basin is basically a pastoral area. On both sides of the valley below Payang are swampy meadow landscapes composed of tall wormwood. This is the best winter and spring pasture. Due to the sparse population in the upper section of the Maquan River Valley, the vast grassland is still an animal paradise, with Tibetan antelopes, blue sheep, wild donkeys, wild oxen, bears, wolves, foxes, rats, rabbits and other animals. A scene of the Yarlung Zangbo River

Edit the source of the name of this paragraph

The Yarlung Zangbo River was called Yangchapo Zangbo in ancient Tibetan, which means the water flowing down from the highest peak. It has three sources: the northern branch originates from the Gangdise Mountains and is called Ma Rong Zangbo; the middle branch is called Chem Rong Dong, which is considered to be the main source of the Yarlung Zangbo River due to its large water volume all year round; the southern branch originates from the Himalayas and is called Kubizangbo, this tributary has a large amount of water every summer. After the three tributaries join together, the section to Rizi is collectively called the Maquan River. However, in the Zhadong area, the river is also called Dabula Zangbo, which means Ma River in Tibetan; or Mazang Zangbo, which means mother river in Tibetan. The Lazi area is called Yangquezangbu. To the west of Lazi, the Yarlung Zangbo River is collectively called Dazhuo Kabu, which in Tibetan means water flowing from the mouth of a good horse. The area around Qushui is called Yalu in Tibetan, and the area where the river flows to Shannan is called Yalong (named because of the Yalong song in Shannan area). Therefore, this river is called Yalong Zangbo. However, it is pronounced as Yarlung in the Qushui area, because the exact phonetic pronunciation of "Lu" in Tibetan is "Long", which means the river flowing from Qushui through the valley plain, so the entire river is collectively called the Yarlung Zangbo River.

Edit this paragraph Geographical environment

To the south of the Yarlung Zangbo River stands the tallest and youngest Himalayas in the world, and to the north are the Gangdise Mountains and the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains. Between the north and the south is the Southern Tibet Valley, which is called "Loka" in Tibetan, meaning "south". The valley is a broad and gentle area running east-west, and the Brahmaputra River lies quietly in this valley. Consistent with the landform of the valley, the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin is long and narrow from east to west and narrow from north to south. The maximum length from east to west is about 1,500 kilometers, while the maximum width from north to south is only 290 kilometers.

The main stream of the Yarlung Zangbo River can be divided into the source area, upper reaches, middle reaches and lower reaches according to natural conditions, valley shape and runoff changes along the way.

In 1945, the Chinese Academy of Sciences organized a comprehensive scientific expedition team to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to enter the Heyuan area. After in-depth research, they came to the correct conclusion that Jie Ma Yangzong Qu was the true source. The source is 5,590 meters above sea level, and the river source area consists of two rivers, Jie Ma Yangzongqu and Kubi Zangbo. At the source of the two rivers are the Jiema Yangzong Glacier, the Xiabuga Glacier, the Angruo Glacier, the Asekiaguo Glacier, etc., forming huge solid reservoirs. As the glacier retreated into a large area of ??moraine, the valley took on a shallow "U" shape. Jie Ma Yang Zong Qu Bingfeng stands in clusters, embracing the valley. The rising clouds and mist above the ice peaks are like transparent feather yarns floating gently in the air.

From the end of the Genma Yangzong Glacier to Riz is the upper reaches. The river is 268 kilometers long, has a water collection area of ??265,700 square kilometers, and the valley is 1 to 10 kilometers wide. The section below Sangmuzhang is called Maquan River, with an average altitude of more than 5,200 meters. The water flow is gentle, lakes and branches are developed in the center of the river, and many waterbirds inhabit the large swamps on both sides of the river. Maquan River runs between the Himalayas in the south and the Gangdise Mountains in the north. The valley is wide, generally 10 to 30 kilometers long. The Maquan River in the wide valley is like a silver ribbon, spreading at the foot of the misty snow-capped mountains. The largest tributary of the Maquan River, Chaiqu, winds and intersects countless sparkling and dazzling small lakes, all the way to the ribbon. . The snow-capped mountains, ribbons, and lakes are all spread out on an endless stretch of grass that looks like emerald green tapestries. This beautiful picture is a reflection of the Maquan River area in the upper reaches.

The Maquan River Basin is basically a pastoral area. On both sides of the river valley below Payang are swampy meadow landscapes composed of tall wormwood. This is the best winter and spring pasture. Above Payang, the swampy meadows change from warm to dry and gradually disappear. A Stipa grassland landscape appears in the open valley, with purple-flowered Stipa and Artemisia widely distributed, presenting a yellow-green seasonal scene. This is the main summer pasture in the upper reaches.

Due to the sparse population in the upper section of the Maquan River Valley, the vast grassland is still an animal paradise, with Tibetan antelopes, blue sheep, wild donkeys, oxen, bears, wolves, foxes, rats, rabbits, etc. kind of animal. Rows of huge yellow-gray crescent-shaped sand dunes are scattered on the vast grassland of the river valley. The dunes are perpendicular to the direction of the wind. In many places, they are connected like chains. These dunes are the exposed river sand of the Maquan River in the dry season of winter and spring. , transported and piled up under the influence of frequent westerly winds.

The middle reaches from Rizi to Paixiang is a 1,293-kilometer-long river with a water catchment area of ??163,951 square kilometers and numerous tributaries on both sides. The altitude here has dropped to below 4,500 meters. The middle reaches of the river are in the shape of alternately wide and narrow beads. In the wide valley section, the valley bottom is 2 to 8 kilometers wide, and the water surface is 100 to 200 meters wide. There are floodplains and terraces 10 to 120 meters above the water surface. The water flow is gentle and the average slope of the river is less than 1‰. Standing on the mountains on both sides and overlooking the wide valley, you can see the blue-green river surface alternated with golden sandbars, forming a unique braided water system. In the canyon section, the valley is "V" shaped, with steep mountains on both sides, the valley bottom is 50 to 100 meters wide, and the water flow is rapid. There are steep cliffs on both sides of the bank, rapid currents and high waves in the middle, rushing and roaring water, and strong material movement on the valley slopes, mainly collapses. The most famous one is Gacha Canyon in Sanri County, which is 42 kilometers long, only 30 to 40 meters wide, and has a drop of more than 300 meters. In the Gacha Canyon, due to the hard bedrock and transverse fractures, or due to the blockage of large rockslides, the river bed formed a relatively high height of 4.8 meters and 5.2 meters in Zeng and Niyashika respectively. waterfall. Here, the river rushes down with thunderous momentum, stirring up strings of milky white waves and mist, which is thrilling! This type of canyon contains abundant water resources, and there are often flat terraces at both mouths of the canyon. In addition, the wide valley basin topography connected with the canyon creates favorable conditions for the development of water energy resources.

The middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River basin contains several major tributaries of the Yarlung Zangbo River, such as the Lakha Zangbo, Mouchu River, Lhasa River, Niyang River, etc. These huge tributaries not only provide abundant water, but also provide broad plains, such as the lower reaches of the Lakhazangbo Valley Plain, the Shigatse Plain, the Lhasa Valley Plain, the Niyang River Nyingchi Valley Plain, etc. These valley plains are all below 4,100 meters above sea level, generally 2 to 3 kilometers wide, with a maximum width of 6 to 7 kilometers, and a length of up to dozens of kilometers along the river. The water conservancy, irrigation and mechanization conditions here are superior, connected by roads and densely populated. It is the most important and rich agricultural area in Tibet. It is also the main grain crop base and the development site of high-yield and stable farmland.

The middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River are also home to some important towns in Tibet, such as Lhasa, the capital of the autonomous region and the "Sunlight City". The ancient city of Shigatse, the second largest city, Gyantse, a heroic city with a glorious history of the anti-British struggle, Bayi Town, an emerging industrial city in Linzhi, Zedang, an important town in Shannan, etc. are all located in the middle and lower reaches of the valley plains of some tributaries in the basin, becoming Tibet's industrial and agricultural economy, trade, political culture and transportation center. The Brahmaputra River nurtures millions of heroic Tibetan people on both sides of the river. The Tibetan people have always embroidered this magnificent mountain and river with their hard-working hands and infinite wisdom.

The downstream section from Paixiang to the vicinity of Basika is 496 kilometers long and has a water collection area of ??49,959 square kilometers. The river gradually turns to the northeast from near Heilong in Milin County. After passing through Pai Township, it turns to the northeast and merges with Palong Zangbo. Then it suddenly turns south and flows into a continuous mountain canyon section, and flows into India through Paxikar. On both sides of the top of Big Bend, there are Galabailei Peak and Namjagbarwa Peak with an altitude of 7151 meters and 7756 meters.

The vertical height difference from Namjagbarwa Peak to the water surface of the Brahmaputra River is 7,100 meters, which can be called the deepest canyon section in the world. From the glaciers and permanent snow on the peaks to the tropics in the valleys, a vertical zone is formed. Big Bend Canyon has always been famous for its majestic steepness and strange turns. The Brahmaputra River there seems to be deeply embedded in the slit opened by a giant axe. At the bottom of the valley is a roaring rapid, with riverbeds dotted with shoals and rocks. Downstream, there are canyons like this one after another, with thousands of twists and turns, intertwined mountain mouths, and mountain peaks. The slopes on both sides of the canyon are densely forested and green, and they look so deep and beautiful. Its continuous peaks and endless rapids combine to form a magnificent and moving picture.

In the Big Bend Canyon on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, in a section of more than 220 kilometers long from Pai Township to the Xirang River in Medog County, the river bed dropped by 2,200 meters, with an average drop of more than 10 meters in 1 kilometer. The surging river flows in the twists and turns of the canyon. Not only does it contain abundant water resources, but the landform formation of this large bending canyon also provides valuable conditions for the development and utilization of rich water resources. Preliminary calculations show that the hydraulic resources in the Big Bend Canyon account for more than 2/3 of the entire Yarlung Zangbo River's hydraulic resources, and its water energy reserves per unit area are rare among similar large rivers in the world.

Medog County, located in the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, is spread out along the river in a long and narrow way, like a piece of green emerald inlaid in the bend of the gorge. It is the famous "Xishuangbanna on the Plateau". As the river descends here, the moist airflow from the south has been able to drive straight in along the valley, causing increased precipitation and higher temperatures. Therefore, the valley and lowland here have tropical and subtropical scenery with the fragrance of rice, green bamboo and bananas welcoming guests. It is also a treasure house of China’s animal kingdom and is rich in various natural resources.

The Yarlung Zangbo River is one of the rivers with the lowest sand content in China. The average erosion of land by flowing water is only 93 tons/square kilometer per year. The average sand content at Nuxia Observation Station for many years is only 0.28 kg/cubic meter. Although the sand content is small, the amount of sand transported is quite large due to the abundant runoff. The maximum annual sediment load measured at Nuxia Station in 1964 was 4,620 tons.

While the Yarlung Zangbo River cascades thousands of miles, its middle and upper valleys always maintain a strict east-west direction. However, it suddenly makes a strange turn in its lower reaches, forming the Big Bend Canyon. Moreover, some of its major tributaries, such as the Nianchu River and the Lhasa River, uncharacteristically flow into the main stream in reverse directions. All these phenomena have always attracted people's attention and interest. Through investigation, the formation of the Yarlung Zangbo River is mainly the result of adapting to the fault structure. A series of ultrabasic rock masses appear intermittently along its middle and upper reaches. They are the result of deep rock masses rising along faults to expose the surface. At the same time, the strata on both sides of the river are of different ages and discontinuous occurrences, and mélanges are found in some places. Geologically, it is believed that the Brahmaputra River is a huge suture line where the solid Indian Ocean plate and the Eurasian plate collide. It was in the northeast corner of the collision zone at that time, so the collision suture had a turn and was concentrated near it. Therefore, the middle and upper reaches of the mainstream of the Yarlung Zangbo River are adapted to the development of east-west deep fault structures, and its downstream is adapted to changes in structural transitions. Some huge reverse tributaries are the result of secondary fault structures adapted to the main trunk fault. The Brahmaputra River is a tectonic valley that developed strictly in response to fault structures. This strict adaptation to tectonic development is rare among rivers in the world.

There is a Milky Way in the sky and a Milky Way on the ground. The Yarlung Zangbo River, known as the "Heavenly River", flows out from the snow-capped mountains and ice peaks, and brings the ice liquid jade paddle to the southern Tibetan valley, making this area fertile with flowers and grass. The Tibetan people who live and thrive here have created a splendid Tibetan culture, which is an important part of the cultural treasures of our multi-ethnic country.

The river in my country with the largest water energy reserve second only to the Yangtze River is the Brahmaputra River.

There are many tributaries of the Yarlung Zangbo River, among which 14 have a catchment area of ??more than 2,000 square kilometers, and 5 have a catchment area of ??more than 10,000 square kilometers, namely the Duoxiong Zangbo, the Nianchu River, the Lhasa River, and the Niyang River. , Palong Zangbo. Among them, the Lhasa River is the longest and has the largest water collection area; Parlung Zangbo has the largest annual runoff.

On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a large river like a silver-white dragon flows in the south of the "Roof of the World". This is the famous Yarlung Zangbo River. It flows from the snow-capped mountains and icy peaks to the valleys of southern Tibet, creating the most beautiful scenery along the river. In the long river of history, it has given birth to the long-standing and splendid Tibetan culture. The Brahmaputra River flows in the southern Tibetan valley between the world's highest and youngest Himalayas, Gangdise Mountains and Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains. It is more than 2,900 kilometers long and 2,057 kilometers long in our country. It ranks third among the famous rivers in our country. Five. The Yarlung Zangbo River originates from Jie Ma Yangzongqu. The upstream waterways are winding and scattered, with lakes and ponds dotted here and there. The water is crystal clear and the grass on both sides is abundant, making it particularly beautiful and pleasing to the eye. The middle reaches gather many tributaries, with abundant water volume, wide river and deep water, which provide favorable conditions for plateau shipping. It is the highest navigable river section in the world. In the lower reaches, the river is surging. After gradually turning to the northeast, it suddenly turns south and forms the famous Bottom Grand Canyon at the big bend. The river here is narrow, the riverbed is dotted with beaches and reefs, and the river current is fast and the waves are high and the sound is loud. Rumbling, spectacular. In the hidden depths of the Grand Canyon, there live a handful of Monba and Lhoba people whose production methods and lifestyles are still in a semi-primitive state.

In the dense forests and snow-capped mountains of the mountains, there are many dangerous roads that can be penetrated deeply. If you can go through all the hardships and experience the "purgatory" experience, you can see the unparalleled majesty of the Grand Canyon and the special ethnic customs

Edit this paragraph The basic characteristics of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon< /p>

The basic characteristics can be summarized in ten words: high, strong, deep, smooth, secluded, long, dangerous, low, strange and beautiful.

High: On both sides of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, there are towering Namjagbarwa Peak (7782 meters above sea level) and Galabai Peak (7234 meters above sea level). Their peaks are strongly rising fault blocks, majestic and tall. Straight into the cloud. The glaciers hang over the peaks and ridges, and the clouds and mist surround the scenery.

Strong: A bird's-eye view of the Grand Canyon from the air or from Xixingla and other mountain passes. Among the countless snow peaks and green mountains in the Eastern Himalayas, the Brahmaputra River cuts a steep canyon and passes through the high mountain barrier. , making a strange big turn around the Namjagbarwa Peak, and the Nanjia River flows into the Indian Ocean. Its magnificence and uniqueness are unparalleled.

Depth: The deepest point of the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon between Namcha Barwa Peak and Galabai Lei Peak is 5,382 meters. It surrounds the core section of Namcha Barwa Peak and has an average depth of about 5,000 meters. The depth is far greater than the 2133-meter-deep Colorado Grand Canyon, the 3200-meter-deep Colca Canyon and the 4403-meter-deep Calligandego Grand Canyon.

Run: The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon is the largest water vapor channel on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Affected by the warm and humid air currents of the Indian Ocean, the annual precipitation in the southern section of the Grand Canyon is as high as 4,000 mm, and in the northern section, it is also between 1,500 and 2,000 mm. , so the entire Grand Canyon area is extremely humid and covered with dense forests, forming the most biologically diverse canyon in the world. It is different from the arid Colca Canyon, which develops desert vegetation, and the relatively arid Colorado Grand Canyon, which develops a single pine forest.

Secret: The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon is lush with trees. Due to the steep terrain, inconvenient transportation, and sparsely populated areas, many river sections are completely uninhabited. In addition, the Grand Canyon is shrouded in clouds and fog, making it mysterious and unpredictable, so the environment is particularly quiet. This is also unmatched by the above three grand canyons.

Length: The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon bypasses Namjagbarwa Peak in a continuous canyon, with a length of 496.3 kilometers, which is 56 kilometers longer than the Colorado Grand Canyon, which is known as the "longest" grand canyon in the world.

Danger: Many sections of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon have rocky walls on both sides, making them impassable, so no one has ever hiked through the canyon. Compared with the other three grand canyons, all the valleys are connected by roads; the Colorado Grand Canyon, tourists can ride livestock through the valley; the Colca Grand Canyon, tourists can travel along the valley; the Calligandege Grand Canyon, the valley is dotted with villages. , the path along the valley is the main route for local development of hiking tourism. As far as waterways are concerned, the average flow of the river in the Grand Canyon of the Brahmaputra reaches 4,425 cubic meters per second, far exceeding the 67 cubic meters per second of the Colorado River and the other two rivers. The river flow speed is as high as 16 meters per second. The water flow is turbulent and falls. Connected by water, no one has ever been able to drift into the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon, and the water flow is far more dangerous than other canyons.

Low: refers to Basika, the lowest point of the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon, with an altitude of only 155 meters, which is far lower than the lowest point of any of the above three canyons.

Strange: The most peculiar thing about the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon is that it suddenly turns south from east to west at the end of the Eastern Himalayas, and flows down the southern slope of the Eastern Himalayas before pouring into the Indian Ocean, forming the most peculiar formation in the world. A large horseshoe-shaped bend. Not only is it extremely unique in terms of landforms, but it has also become a grand canyon with a unique water vapor channel function in the world, creating a unique forest ecosystem landscape on the southeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Show: The natural landscape of the entire Grand Canyon can be summarized as "the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is the most beautiful in the world". To say that his show is the best in the world mainly means that he is the best in terms of the breadth, depth and intensity of his show. In terms of breadth, the Grand Canyon is a show of mountains, water, trees, grass, clouds, fog, animals, birds, butterflies, fish, people, and villages... Not only that, the Grand Canyon The show also has its profound and majestic connotations. For example, the water in the Grand Canyon ranges from solid thousands of years of ice and snow to boiling hot springs, from trickling streams and curtains of waterfalls to surging river water. It is solid, liquid, gaseous, snowflakes, streams, and rivers, and its beauty goes deep into various forms of water. Various scales. From the perspective of strength, the waterfall with a length of several hundred meters, a flow rate of 16 meters/second, and a flow rate of 4425 cubic meters/second is quite spectacular. Another example is the mountains of the Grand Canyon, from the low mountains covered with tropical monsoon rain to the snow-capped mountains high in the sky; the vast forest sea and the snow-capped peaks towering into the clouds give people a feeling of beauty that is even more like a stroke of genius. The numerous creatures born and raised here shine with beauty and brilliance with their unique shapes and vitality.

"High, strong, deep and quiet, long and dangerous, low and strangely beautiful". With the advent of the 21st century, a more spectacular prospect will appear before us. The Brahmaputra Grand Canyon will no longer be a dangerous mountain and dangerous water hidden in the boudoir that no one knows. It will stand in the east of the world like a hibiscus emerging from the water, becoming another glory of nature's dedication and human history's exploration.

Edit this historical origin

The ancient culture nurtured by the Yarlung Zangbo River has a long history. The Neolithic culture in its basin is represented by Linzhi and Medog.

Relics such as stone tools, pottery pieces, axes, adzes, and chisels have been collected in Linzhi County and Medog County.

In the late Neolithic Age, many tribes were formed throughout Tibet. Around the 3rd century BC, Nietri Zampu, as the leader of the Yarlung tribe, appeared for the first time in Tibetan history as Zampu (meaning king) and established the Tubo Kingdom of tribal slavery.

The Brahmaputra River is not only the cradle of the birth and development of Tibetan civilization, but also a witness to Sino-Tibetan cultural exchanges. In the history of exchanges between Han and Tibet, the most memorable events are the three major events of Princess Wencheng and Tibet, and Princess Jincheng’s marriage to the west and the alliance between Tang and Tibet. They fully illustrate the flesh-and-blood relationship between the Han and Tibetan people and their cultures, which have their own characteristics and influence each other.

Tibetan people worship Buddhism universally and sincerely. If you worship Buddhism and believe in religion, you must have a temple. There are many temples in the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin. Whether beside the canyons or streams, or deep in the mountains and wild mountains, you can hear the long tolling of ancient temple bells. Among the many temples and temples, the Potala Palace and Tashilhunpo Temple are the most representative.

The Yarlung Zangbo River Basin is rich and beautiful. It nurtures the fertile land on both sides of the river. It is the cradle of Tibetan people's culture. As a "heavenly river", the Brahmaputra River brings not only the past to the Tibetan people, but also a glorious future.
