    The Brahmaputra River is like a silver dragon, originating from the icy mountains on the northern slope of the middle section of the Himalayas above sea level, flowing from west to east in the southern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the "roof of the world", and finally flowing out of the country near Bashika, renamed the Brahmaputra River, and flowing into the Bay of Bengal through India and Bangladesh. It is many kilometers long in China and ranks fifth among the country's celebrities. The area of the river basin is square kilometers, ranking sixth in the country, and the annual runoff of the country is 100 million cubic meters, second only to the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, ranking third in the country. The reserves of natural hydropower reach 10,000 kilowatts, second only to the Yangtze River and the second in the country. The riverbed is generally above a metre above sea level and is the highest river in the world.

    The main stream of the Brahmaputra River can be divided into the source area, the upper reaches, the middle reaches and the lower reaches according to the natural conditions, valley morphology and flow changes. From the end of the Jemayangzong glacier to the upper reaches of Lizi, the river is 268 kilometers long, with a catchment area of 26,570 square kilometers and a valley width of 1 10 kilometers. The Maquan River runs between the Himalayas in the south and the Gangdis Mountains in the north, and the valley is open, generally 10 to 30 kilometres.

    Snow-capped mountains, ribbons, and lakes are all spread out on an endless meadow that looks like emerald green velvet felt. This beautiful picture is a portrayal of the upper Maquan River area. The Maquan River Basin is basically a pastoral area, and the valley below Payang is flanked by a swampy meadow landscape composed of Artemisia alba grass, which is the best winter and spring pasture.

    In the upper part of the Maquan River Valley, due to the sparse population, the current vast grassland is still an animal paradise, with Tibetan antelopes, rock sheep, wild asses, wild cattle, bears, wolves, foxes, rats, rabbits and other animals.

    The Brahmaputra River, known in ancient Tibetan as Yangchabu Zangpo, means water flowing down from the highest peak. It has three branches: the northern branch originates from the Gangdis Mountains and is called Marong Zangbo; The middle branch is called Chema Rongdong, which is considered to be the main source of the Brahmaputra River because of the large perennial water volume; The southern branch originates in the Himalayas called Kubi Zangbo, and this tributary has a large amount of water every summer.

    After the confluence of the three tributaries, the section to Lizi is collectively called the Maquan River, but in the Zhadong area, the river is also called Dabra Zangbo, which means Mahe in Tibetan; Or called Mazang Zangbo, Tibetan means mother river. The Latse region is called the Sheep Chozangbu. To the west of Lhatse, the Brahmaputra River is collectively known as Dadro Kabu, which in Tibetan means water flowing from the mouth of a good horse.

    The place around Qushui is called Yalu in Tibetan, and the river flows to the south of the mountain called Yalong (named after the Yalong Qu in Shannan), so this river is called Yalong Zangbo. However, in the Qushui area, it is pronounced as Yalu, because the exact pronunciation of "Lu" in Tibetan is "Long", which means the river that flows through the valley plain from above Qushui, so the whole section of the river is called the Yarlung Zangbo River.

The Yangtze River is also the main artery of China's east-west water transportation, and the natural river channel is superior, and it is known as the "best waterway".

    The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have a warm and humid climate, abundant rainfall and fertile land, making it a region with developed industry and agriculture in China.

    The Yellow River is the second largest river in China, with a total length of 5,464 kilometers. The Yellow River Basin is rich in pastures and mineral deposits, and was one of the important birthplaces of ancient Chinese civilization in history.

    On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the "roof of the world", there are two world's best: one is the world's highest mountain - Mount Everest, and the other is the world's deepest and longest river canyon - the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. The high peaks and deep valleys are close to each other, and the strong topographic contrast of nearly 10,000 meters constitutes a magnificent landscape that can be called the first in the world.

    With an average elevation of more than 3,000 meters, the Brahmaputra River is the highest river in the world. Its lower reaches surround the highest peak at the eastern end of the Himalayas, forming a peculiar horseshoe-shaped bend that cuts a huge 504-kilometer-long canyon on the Tibetan Plateau. With an average depth of 2,268 meters and a maximum depth of 6,009 meters, the canyon is undoubtedly the largest canyon in the world.

    The Grand Canyon of Colorado in the United States and the Colca Canyon in Peru were once ranked as the best in the world, but neither of them can compete with the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon.

    The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, set against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains and glaciers and lush primeval forests, is mysterious and unpredictable. The water of the Grand Canyon is really diverse, from solid 10,000-year-old ice and snow to boiling hot springs, from trickling streams, curtain waterfalls to surging river water. The mountains of the Grand Canyon, from the rainforest-covered mountains to the snow-capped mountains, feel like a stroke of genius.

    The bizarre landscape of the Grand Canyon is also reflected in the biological diversity, with nine vertical natural zones formed from high to low on the same slope. The natural zones at different heights present different natural landscapes, like a magical and beautiful picture in the sky. Here, you can see flora and fauna ranging from the cold Arctic to the hot equator.

    Many precious trees and flowers grow off the beaten track, and a variety of wildlife climbs and shuttles throughout, worthy of the reputation of "Museum of Plant Types" and "Animal Kingdom".

    The discovery of the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon is one of the most important geographical events of mankind in the last century. It can be expected that in this century, the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon will become a hot spot of concern for people around the world.
