The source of the Yangtze river
Jacky on the Yangtze River is a vast geographical unit, including the vast area between Kunlun Mountain and Tanggula Mountain. It is about 400 kilometers long from east to west and 300 kilometers wide from north to south, with a total area of over 654.38+ 10,000 square kilometers. The terrain in the area is gentle, with an average elevation of 4,400-4,700 meters, the annual average temperature is below -4℃, the temperature is low, the vegetation is sparse, the frozen soil is widely distributed, and the animal species are simple, most of which are endemic to the plateau, including wild donkeys, white-lipped deer, bison, snow leopards, Tibetan antelopes, brown bears, wolves and green sheep.
The source of the Yangtze River consists of Chuma River in the north, Dangqu River in the south and Tuotuo River in Jacky. Chumar River originates from Lake Hoh Xil in the depth of Hoh Xil Nature Reserve, which means "Hongshui River" in Tibetan, with a total length of about 5 15 km and a small flow. The source is often cut off in summer and finally flows into the Tongtian River in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
