The Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas in China is a remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Site. It encompasses a complex of reserves within the Yunnan province, featuring the upper reaches of three of Asia's major rivers: the Yangtze, Mekong, and Salween. These rivers run through deep gorges bordered by majestic peaks, some over 6,000 meters high, creating a landscape of exceptional natural beauty. The area is recognized for its rich biodiversity, hosting thousands of different plant species, as well as rare animals like the snow leopard and red panda.
