Photos of Tuotuo River

The Tuotuo River, also known as the Toto River, which means "Red River" in Mongolian, is located in the southwest of Qinghai Province, China, and is the source of the Yangtze River. The Tuotuo River has many wide and shallow reaches, so it is mostly scattered, overflowing, branching, and stringing ditches. The water is shallow and the flow rate is not large. The upper source of the main and tributaries of the Tuotuo River are mostly snow-capped glaciers, and the supply of ice and snow melt water is large. Because the ground temperature and air temperature are both low, the water temperature is also low.
