The “Panoramic China” series is meant to assist readers, especially those overseas, in this respect. Each volume in the series focuses on a province, municipality or autonomous region, describing, describing, with illustrations, the outstanding characteristics of each area from different perspectives. Qinghai means "blue lake," and indeed the name of the province comes from the pristine waters of the vast Qinghai Lake high on the plateau - the "roof of the world." Three great rivers rise in Qinghai: the Yellow River and the Yangtze River nurtured dazzling Chinese civilizations that sprang up along their valleys; the Lancang River starts here too irrigating first Tibet and Yunnan, before flowing through Southeast Asia as the Mekong.
