Yes, yes, yes!
my country's first national park is coming~
The concept of national parks originated from the United States, and generally refers to a form of nature reserves, such as national natural scenic areas, national nature reserves, etc., which are not national parks by definition.
Scenic areas are for sightseeing, and protected areas are intended to protect the environment. National parks are a combination of the two, and the landscape resources in national parks are often rare in a country, and even have irreplaceable important influences in the world.
so where is it
Became China's first national park?
That is,
Sanjiangyuan National Park, China
The beautiful and mysterious Sanjiangyuan, located in the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, is the birthplace of the Yangtze River, Yellow River, and Lancang River, known as the "Chinese Water Tower".
The total area of the pilot area of Sanjiangyuan National Park is 123,100 square kilometers, and there are mountains such as Kunlun Mountain, Bayan Har Mountain, and Tanggula Mountain in the area.
The average altitude is over 4,500 meters, the snowfield is vast, and there are many rivers, swamps and lakes. There are 167 lakes with an area larger than 1 square kilometer.
China's Three Rivers National Park is mainly divided into three parks: the Yangtze River Source Park, the Yellow River Source Park and the Lancang River Source Park.
Yangtze River Source Park
The Sanjiangyuan area is a world of water. There are as many as 120 lakes in the Yangtze Riveryuan Park, most of which are freshwater lakes and brackish water lakes.
The altitude of this area is more than 4200 meters, and a relatively complete large area of primitive alpine grassland, alpine meadow and plateau wetland are preserved.
At the same time, it is also the main concentrated breeding ground and migration channel for Tibetan antelope, a national first-class protected wild animal. It is a veritable "wild animal paradise".
Although the park is vast and sparsely populated, it has a long history. The ancient road of the Tang Dynasty passed through this place, and the 10th Panchen Lama came to Tibet from here. It has been an important trade distribution center and transportation hub for Qinghai, Sichuan and Tibet since ancient times.
The unique cultural landscape and natural tourism resources are very valuable for viewing and ecological experience at the national and even global levels.
Lancang River Source Park
Lancang River Source Park is the source area of the international river Lancang River (Mekong River). The park is located in Zaduo County, Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.
The Lancang River Source Park not only has a unique natural landscape, but also has rich and diverse human resources. The natural and cultural relics and intangible cultural heritage such as the colorful ladder spring pool, the Tang and Tibetan ancient roads, and the Lama Nora sacred mountain in the territory have unique pilgrimage, sightseeing and other values.
Yellow River Source Park
The Yellow River Source Park is located in the hinterland of the Three Rivers Source, which is the source area of the Yellow River, the mother river of China. There are many types and quantities of natural resources in the park.
On this vast land, its majestic and rough plateau primitive landforms, towering and cold glaciers and snow-capped mountains, vast alpine meadows and grasslands, and large populations of plateau-specific wild animals fully demonstrate the complete nature of the third pole in the world. landscape.
The park will be officially established before the end of this year. Will you go there then?
