Description: Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon stretching in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River occupies an area of 64,300 square kilometers. Yarlung Zangbo River, the world's highest river, turns south suddenly in Mainling County and cuts the Himalayas Mountain into two sections. Then the river runs through a narrow passage between the two 7,000 meter high peaks of Namjagbarwa and Jialabailei, thus forming the largest canyon of the world.
Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon stretches 496km long and averages over 5,000m deep. It measures 21-kilometer wide and even at the narrowest part it has a depth of 5,138-meters. It is the deepest, narrowest and longest canyon of the world as compared to the other grand canyons in the world. That is the Yarlung Zangbo Canyon, the first one in the world. Standing by it, you will feel the fascination of the nature, including the precipitous cliffs, hot springs, waterfalls, primeval forests, rare plants and animals.
The diversified climatic zones distributed vertically in the Grand Canyon determined its vertical distribution of diversified vegetation and numerous wild animals. Nearly 5,000 species of vegetation have already been found here. Embracing all representative animals of the south and north as well the Grand Canyon has won the reputation as Natural arboretum, natural zoo, Plant Gene Bank and so on, a typical 'Xishuangbanna in Tibet'.
At the deepest of the great canyon, Menba and Luoba people live their primitive life on the purified land on the earth.
