Tibet Rivers

Rivers and Lakes in Tibet
Tibet is full of rivers and lakes which provides abundance of hydroelectric power and aquatic products. Bushy banks of the rivers and lakes are the homes of swan and geese.

 

The Yaluzangbu River
The Yaluzangbu River is as long as 2,057 km. The Yaluzangbu river turns and twists like a silver dragon from the west to the east into the valleys of south Tibet. It runs through Muotuo county. After a 90-degree turn, it empties into the Indian Ocean. Here the tourists can have a good time with their yak hide boats on the river and going down to the lower level is quite exciting and challenging.

The Three Rivers in the East
The Gold sand, Lancang and Nu rivers flow down from north to the south into Yunnan.
