Imagine trekking through snow-capped peaks and vast grasslands to witness the birthplace of Asia’s lifelines. That’s exactly what CGTN’s Tian Wei and UNDP China representative Beate Trankmann did in Sanjiangyuan National Park – the “Water Tower of Asia” – where the Yellow, Yangtze, and Lancang Rivers begin their epic journeys.
Why it matters: These rivers sustain over 700 million people across the Chinese mainland and Southeast Asia. Climate change, however, threatens this fragile ecosystem. Trankmann highlights how sustainable practices are key to protecting this natural wonder: “It’s not just about conservation – it’s about ensuring millions can thrive.”
Hidden gems: From yak herders sharing centuries-old wisdom to rare wildlife like snow leopards, the park blends raw beauty with human resilience. Think NatGeo meets Anthony Bourdain, but with more altitude and fewer restaurants!
Pro tip: Visiting? Pack layers (temperatures swing faster than K-pop trends) and respect local customs. As Wei says: “Here, every mountain has a story – you just need to listen.”
