The upper part of the three parallel rivers is in southeastern Tibet and the lower part is in Yunnan Province. The three parallel rivers area is the richest geological and geomorphological Museum in the world. Forty million years ago, the collision between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate triggered the sharp compression, uplift and cutting of the Hengduan Mountains.
