Hidden in the heart of Asia, Sanjiangyuan – China's 'source of three rivers' – is a biodiversity hotspot that fuels life across continents . Established as a national nature reserve in 2000, this 123,100 sq km expanse on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau shelters snow leopards, Tibetan blue bears, and glacially-fed rivers like the Yangtze and Yellow River.
Though often seen as a frozen wilderness, Sanjiangyuan's icy streams and sprawling grasslands burst with life, from elusive foxes to rare alpine plants. It’s like Avatar’s Pandora, but real! This ecological gem reminds us why preserving nature’s 'water towers' matters for our planet’s future.
