Trek in Yunnan
The region of the three parallel rivers of the Yangtze, Mekong and
Salween is ideal for adventurous exploration. Originating from the Tangula mountains in Tibet, the Yangtze, Mekong and Salween rivers flow from west to east through the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. At the juncture of Yunnan, Tibet and Sichuan, blocked by a great fault fracture caused by the plateau's collision with the Indian sub-continental plate, the three great rivers are forced to turn south, all flowing through Northwest Yunnan, sometimes at a distance of only 66km apart. Trekking along the Lake Lugu and camping close to the Haba snow-capped mountains, you can experience the solitude and spiritual essence of these pristine landscapes. Upon encountering a Lisu village, you might be invited to taste their famed 'Xiala' - chicken cooked with rice-wine. For more details, please visit http://www.edward-adventures.com/EA/YMS.htm |
