Sichuan-Tibet Highway
The Sichuan-Tibet Highway starts from Chengdu, Sichuan, passes through Ya'an and Kangding, and is divided into two lines at Xinduqiao: the north line passes through Garze and Dege and enters Tibet. Chamdo, Bangda; the southern route passes through Ya'an, Litang, and Batang, enters Mangkang, Tibet, and then meets the northern route at Bangda, and then passes through Basu, Bomi, and Nyingchi to Lhasa.
The Sichuan-Tibet Highway is currently the longest highway in my country. It is world-renowned for its long mileage, crossing mountains and rivers, and the difficulty of construction and maintenance. It is quite difficult and dangerous to choose the Sichuan-Tibet Highway to enter Tibet, but the amazing scenery along the way is unmatched by other routes.

The Yarlung Zangbo River
The Yarlung Zangbo River is called Yangchapo Zangbo in ancient Tibetan, which means the water flowing down from the highest peak. It has three sources: the northern branch originates from the Gangdise Mountains and is called Ma Rong Zangbo; the middle branch is called Chem Rong Dong, which is considered to be the main source of the Yarlung Zangbo River due to its large water volume all year round; the southern branch originates from the Himalayas. Called Kubi Zangbo, this tributary has a large amount of water every summer. After the three tributaries converge, the section to Rizi is collectively called the Maquan River. However, in the Zhadong area, the river is also called Dabula Zangbo, which means Ma River in Tibetan; or Mazang Zangbo, which means Mother River in Tibetan. The Lazi area is called Yangquezangbu. To the west of Lazi, the Yarlung Zangbo River is collectively called Dazhuo Kabu, which in Tibetan means water flowing from the mouth of a good horse. The area around Qushui is called Yalu in Tibetan, and the area where the river flows to Shannan is called Yalong (named because of the Yalong song in Shannan area). Therefore, this river is called Yalong Zangbo. However, it is pronounced as Yarlung in the Qushui area, because the exact phonetic pronunciation of "Lu" in Tibetan is "Long", which means the river flowing from Qushui through the valley plain, so the entire river is collectively called the Yarlung Zangbo River.
