    Itinerary

    Day 1: Arrive in Yushu - Lancang River; Departure or Extension Program

    The Lancang River, the seventh longest river in the world, is the only international river in Asia that flows through six countries. It originates in Zaduo , Yushu Prefecture, Qinghai Province, and flows through three Chinese provinces—Qinghai, Tibet, and Yunnan—before crossing into neighboring countries. Once it leaves China, it is known as the "Mekong River" , passing through Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, and finally emptying into the South China Sea. We hold it in great esteem, for it is not only a crucial water source for China but also for all of Asia.

    Like butter tea, the Lancang River winds through eternal canyons. In the natural world, humans are but a fleeting existence. From a high vantage point, watching the river flow feels like experiencing two dimensions of life, one in which you surrender your eyes to the river, and the other where you immerse your very being into the long river of time.

    Here, the white clouds are pure and leisurely, while the lush green highland meadows are dotted with herders' tents and yaks. The Cretaceous Danxia landforms discovered near the river’s source stand out vividly against the green landscape. The geological remnants from history are abundant here, showcasing varied landforms such as stone walls, stone peaks, stone pillars, and steep cliffs. This area is also home to the most complete Danxia landform landscape on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

    Perhaps you’ve climbed countless mountains, marveled at the grandeur of rivers and mountains around the world. You've trekked through ancient paths, absorbed the depths of timeless cultures. This time, you can stand as a witness to the history of this river basin and national park, drifting through the canyon with the river, pulsing in harmony with the rhythm of nature.
