美麗中國自然 三江源系列第二集：金沙序曲

【#美麗中國自然# 三江源系列第二集：金沙序曲】金沙江是長江的上游段，它穿行於川藏滇三省區之間，全長三千多公里，流域面積達到五十多萬平方公里。當曲和沱沱河的匯合處就是《西遊記》中沙僧所在的通天河。通天河與金沙江的分界線位於四川石渠縣的真達鄉。與通天河交匯並流的清澈江水經拍打、融渾，江水因混入沙土呈現出金黃色，故千年以來人們都叫它金沙江。 The confluence of the Dangqu and Tuotuo rivers is a famous place depicted in the Chinese novel "Journey to the West." It is called Tongtian River, where Monk Sha once resided. The dividing line between the Tongtian and Jinsha rivers is in Zhenda Township, southwest China's Sichuan Province. As the clear water joins the Tongtian River, it rolls and stirs. The water appears golden because of the sediment. Hence it has the name Jinsha, meaning "golden sand."
