With a total length of 6,380 kilometers, the Yangtze River is the third longest river in the world. Its source is the Gladandong Ice Peak, the main peak of the Tanggula Mountains in southern Qinghai Province. In 1979, it was discovered that the source of the Yangtze River is the Tuotuo River. The scenery at the source of the Yangtze River is very magnificent, with snow-capped mountains and ice peaks, boundless grasslands, blue sky and white clouds reflected in the river water, forming a refreshing beauty. Entering Tibet from the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, you will pass through the inscription of "Yangtze River Source". The stele is about a kilometer away from the road, and it is quite convenient to drive there. There is also a bridge near the stone tablet, because it is the first bridge from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, so it is called "the first bridge of the Yangtze River". The source area of the Yangtze River is composed of the Tuotuo River in the Zhengyuan, Dangqu in the south, and Chumar River in the north. After the Tuotuo River and Dangqu merge together, it is called Tongtian River. The Tongtian River flows through the territory of the Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province. After receiving the Batang River, it enters between the mountains and valleys at the junction of the Tibet Autonomous Region and Sichuan. It is called the Jinsha River. The Jinsha River flows through the Hengduan Mountains, crosses the north side of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in a deep canyon, and flows to Yibin City, Sichuan Province. When it joins with the Minjiang River flowing from the north in Yibin, it is called the Yangtze River.Golmud · >100 km from downtown

The grassland is vast and boundless, and herds of cattle and sheep gather together to enjoy the freshness and deliciousness of the grass. The source of the Yangtze River has clear water, green mountains, blue sky, white clouds, and fresh and pleasant air. The scenery is also beautiful.

Xidatan is right next to the Qinghai-Tibet Line. To its south is Yuzhu Peak, the highest peak on the eastern foot of the Kunlun Mountains. It is 6,178 meters above sea level and is covered with snow all year round. It is a good 6,000-meter-class snow mountain climbing destination in China.

The brave man drove fearlessly from the Qinghai-Tibet Highway to Tibet! He actually saw Kunlun Spring along the way! You will miss it if you don't pay attention! The water can be drunk directly! It's great! The drivers coming and going all carry buckets of water! [Scenery] [Fun] [Value for money]

The magnificent Sanchahe Bridge on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway stands on the north side of the famous Yuzhu Mountain, at the confluence of Xiaonanchuan and Yeniugou on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is the highest bridge on the entire Qinghai-Tibet Railway. The bridge is over 3,800 meters above sea level, 690.19 meters long, with the deck 54.1 meters above the valley floor. There are 20 piers, 17 of which are circular thin-walled hollow piers, with the thinnest part of the top wall of the pier body being only 30 centimeters. This is truly a miracle in the construction of bridge engineering on the plateau of my country.
