Where is the source of the Yangtze River Gorge?

With a total length of 6,380 kilometers, the Yangtze River is the second longest river in the world. Its source is Gladden Ice Peak, the main peak of Tanggula in the south of Qinghai.

1979, it was found that the true source of the Yangtze River was Tuotuo River. The scenery at the source of the Yangtze River is magnificent, with snow-capped mountains and ice peaks, endless grasslands and blue sky and white clouds reflected on the river, which constitutes a refreshing beauty.

The source of the Yangtze River is Tuotuo River.

Tuotuo River, also known as Toto River, originated from Jianggendi Glacier in the southwest of Gladin, the main peak of Tanggula, and the end of the glacier is nearly 5500 meters above sea level. There are huge snow mountains here. There are 20 snow peaks above 6000 meters above sea level, and the permanent snow line is as high as 5800 meters. There are 40 modern glaciers and many ice buckets on the peak.

Speaking of the source of the Yangtze River, before the Ming Dynasty, "Gong Yu" was commonly used, saying that "Minshan River leads to the river". In Ming Dynasty, Xu Xiake wrote "Examination of Heyuan", pointing out that Heyuan belongs to Jinsha River, but according to the principle of "Heyuan is only far away", Tuotuo is the real source. The river flows north first, through the valley, and then into the floodplain. On the gravel-covered floodplain, the river is intermittent, forming a braided water system, and then turning eastward near Hulu Lake. The river surface is developed, the river valley is wide, the river course is shallow, the shoals in the river bed are listed, and the water flow is scattered. After the river meets its tributaries, it is the Tongtian River.

The scientific research soldier deciphers the adventure: When the song becomes longer, is she the source of the Yangtze River?

This time, the first task of the expedition team is to measure the accurate data of the length and flow of the Dangqu, so as to prove with data who should be the source of the Yangtze River, Dangqu and Tuotuo. Liu Jian, the leader of the expedition team and the chief reporter of this newspaper, said that the expedition team completed a comprehensive inspection of Dangqu. However, the relevant data cannot be released immediately. Professor Tang Bangxing, the chief scientist of this activity, and other experts have to sort out and demonstrate it before it can be released and submitted to the relevant departments. Liu Jian said: "What can be announced at present is that Dangqu, like Tuotuo River, originated from glaciers, not swamps as previously thought. This shows that when the song is longer, it is more likely that it is the source of the Yangtze River.
