Snowcapped mountains

Snowcapped mountains

China, Tibet and Qinghai Province are known for their snowcapped mountains, vast pastures and wetlands.
A few of China's biggest rivers, including the Yangtze and the Yellow Rivers, originate from these areas.

This photo was taken while travelling on the new Tibet-Qinghai Railroad from Lhasa to Xining on 9/14//2006.
What is shown is the snow mountains feeding the headwater of one of the tributary of Tuotuo River which eventually feeds into the great Yangtze.
