Where is the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon in China?

The map is located at the lower left of southwest, and the specific address is Milin County, Linzhi District, Xizang Autonomous Region.

The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is the deepest canyon on earth. According to the information released by the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, the Grand Canyon starts from Daduka Village, Pai Town, Milin County (3,000 meters above sea level) in the north, passes through the bend of Yarlung Zangbo River in Pailong Township, and reaches Pasigate Village in Medog County in the south (1 15m above sea level, near Assam in southern Tibet), with its main body in Medog County.

With a total length of 504.6 kilometers, the deepest point of 6009 meters and an average depth of 2268 meters, it is undoubtedly the largest canyon in the world. It is much larger than the Palong Zangbo Grand Canyon, the second largest in the world, the Colorado Grand Canyon in the United States (2133m deep and 370km long) and the Colca Grand Canyon in Peru (3,203m deep and 90km long).

Basic features of Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon;

1, high

On both sides of the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, the towering Nangabawa Peak (7782 meters above sea level) and Galaleibai Peak (7234 meters above sea level) stand tall, and their peaks are strongly uplifted fault blocks, towering into the sky. Glaciers hang on the ridge, with dense clouds and changeable weather.

2. Strong

Have a bird's eye view of the Grand Canyon from the air or from the mountain pass such as Xixingla. Among the numerous snow peaks and green hills in the East Himalayas, the Yarlung Zangbo River just cut a steep canyon, crossed the mountain barrier, made a strange big bend around Nange Bawa Peak, and flowed south into the Indian Ocean. Its magnificence and strangeness are unparalleled.

3. deep

The deepest part of Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon between Nangabawa and Garabalai is 5,382 meters, and the average depth around the core reach of Nangabawa is about 5,000 meters, far exceeding the Colorado Grand Canyon with a depth of about 2,000 meters, the Colca Grand Canyon with a depth of 3,200 meters and the Dege Grand Canyon in Culligan with a depth of 4,403 meters.

Step 4 run

The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon is the largest water vapor channel in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Affected by the warm and humid air flow in the Indian Ocean, the annual precipitation in the southern section of the Grand Canyon is as high as 4,000 mm, and the northern section is also between1500-2,000 mm. Therefore, the whole Grand Canyon area is extremely humid and covered with dense forests, forming the most diverse canyons in the world.

Step 5 isolate

The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon is lush with trees. Because of the steep terrain, inconvenient transportation, sparsely populated, and many river sections are completely deserted, and the Grand Canyon is shrouded in clouds and mysterious, the environment is particularly quiet. This is also unmatched by the above three canyons.

6. Long

The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon bypasses Nangbawa Peak in a continuous canyon, with a total length of 496.3 kilometers, which is 56 kilometers longer than the Colorado Grand Canyon, which is known as the "longest" grand canyon in the world.

7. Risk

In the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, rocks stand on both sides of many river sections, and the water flows rapidly. This is because the Yarlung Zangbo River is 29 10 meters above sea level near the entrance to the Grand Canyon and 155 meters out of Xizang Autonomous Region, with a drop of 2755 meters and a distance of over 500 kilometers. Up to now, no one can drift into the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, and the sinister degree of its current is far above the canyon.

8. low

Pasgat, the lowest point of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, is only 155 meters above sea level, far below the lowest point of any of the above three canyons.

9, odd number

The most peculiar thing about the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is that it stops in the East Himalayas, suddenly turns from east to west to south, goes down the south slope of the East Himalayas and flows into the Indian Ocean, forming the most peculiar horseshoe-shaped bend in the world.

10, Xiu

The natural landscape of the whole Grand Canyon can be summarized as "Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon is the best in the world". To say that its program is the best in the world mainly means that it is unique in the breadth, depth and intensity of the program.
