Information of Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon

For example, Zangbo Grand Canyon is the longest and deepest green canyon, which connects the middle and upper reaches of Yajiang River (the highest river in the world) and the lower reaches of Yarlung Zangbo River with an average elevation of more than 3,000 meters. It is located on the steep slope at the eastern end of the Himalayas and the southeast edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and is surrounded by the strongly uplifted Nangbawa Peak, forming a peculiar horseshoe-shaped big bend canyon.

The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon is located in the mid-latitude temperate zone and warm temperate zone, and is also located in the largest water vapor channel for the Indian Ocean monsoon to enter the plateau. Due to the intense hydrothermal action, a V-shaped canyon with strong river cutting appeared, and the Yarlung Zangbo River-Brahmaputra River flowed into the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean downstream, forming the world's largest onshore estuary and underwater delta, with the thickness of loose deposits reaching tens of thousands of meters, ranking first in the world.

The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon is the largest water vapor passage in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In summer, the intensity of water vapor transport is equivalent to that of the south of the Yangtze River northward, which makes the tropical mountain environment move northward by 6 latitudes, and the southeast of Tibet appears green, forming the third largest forest region in China and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. 60-70% of biological species are concentrated in the Grand Canyon. The most complete vertical natural belt in the world, such as the tropical monsoon rain forest belt in the low valley, the monsoon ocean (temperate) glacier in the mountainous area, the four waterfalls in the river bed of the canyon, and the richest hydraulic resources in the world rivers in the unit reach, are all not available in other famous canyons in the world.

The Yarlung Zangbo River is the largest river in Tibet and ranks fifth in China, but its hydraulic resources are second only to the Yangtze River.

Tests of various natural and biological environments show that the environment of the Grand Canyon is clean and a rare piece of pure land on the earth. Like the North and South Poles, it is one of the regions with extremely fragile ecological environment. We should pay special attention to the destruction of the natural environment by increasing human activities and protect this land that is closely related to us.
