World Heritage - Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan

In the high mountains of southwest China's Yunnan Province, three rivers – the Jinsha, Nujiang and Lancang – all originated from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, run roughly parallel, north to south for some 170 km. As the crow flies, the distance between the Jinsha and Lancang rivers is 66 km while that between the Lancang and Nujiang rivers is less than 19 km. The site was inscribed on the World Heritage List as a natural property in 2003.[Photo/china.org.cn]
