To understand Yunnan,
one need to understand the three rivers that flow parallel to each other. The rugged landscapes, the formation of town and villages, the economic actitives, everything that gives Yunnan a distinct taste stemmed from the fact that it is blessed by these 3 rivers.
On the extreme left is Nu Jiang (怒江) which will flow down to Myanmar, known as the Salveen River in Myanmar.
In the middle, we have Lanchang Jiang (澜沧江) which will bcome Mekong River in Thailand.
On the right we have Jinsha Jiang (金沙江 ) which will eventually become ChangJiang （长江）flowing all the way to Shanghai.
On our way up from Lijiang to Shangrila and Yubeng, we will come across Lanchang Jiang and Jinsha Jiang. Many photos that you see are all related to these 2 rivers.
