The Lancang River flows through the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China, as well as in the Hengduan Mountains, high mountains and valleys, with large river drops and rich water energy resources. The ecological environment of the Lancang River basin is relatively fragile, coupled with the complex topography, inconvenient transportation, sparse population, and low utilization rate of abundant water energy.

The Mekong River, which originates on the northeastern slope of the Tanggula Mountains in China, is called the Lancang River in China, and the section of the river that flows into the Indochina Peninsula is called the Mekong Oak River.
