China to complete building national park on 'roof of the world'

China Daily  

Sanjiangyuan, meaning the "source of three rivers," is home to the headwaters of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lancang rivers. The village, which is located in the Yushu Tibetan autonomous prefecture of Northwest China's Qinghai province, is in the pilot Sanjiangyuan National Park. The pilot national park, with a total area of 123,100 square km, covers two prefectures, four counties and 53 villages, and harbors more than 70,000 herdsmen. "After the park went into trial operation, more than 17,000 herdsmen have been employed as ecological protectors, with each earning more than 20,000 yuan per year," said Kata with the park's administration. "What tourists like most is watching wildlife like snow leopards," said Namse Omo, a local herdsman, whose homestay received the first batch of tourists to the park in 2018.
