Features: To fully understand a country, one must understand its borders. For ordinary people, traveling to the border is never an easy task, which is why there is a series of books specifically written about borders. China is one of the largest countries in terms of land area, bordering 15 landlocked neighboring countries with a total land border of over 22,000 kilometers and a coastline of over 1,800 kilometers. It is one of the countries with the longest border lines, the most neighboring countries, the most complex situations, and the most historical issues. In China's border regions, there are bustling cities and vast grasslands, but more often than not, there are towering mountains, rushing rivers, deep gorges, dense forests, and desolate deserts. Due to the vastness of the border regions, the natural geographical conditions vary greatly, including topography, nature, climate, and ecology. Due to their remote and isolated locations and special border management systems, they are rarely visited by people, leaving the borders shrouded in mystery. The borders covered in this series of books are the counties adjacent to the Chinese side of the border in today's Chinese territory, with some extending to border cities. It is divided into six volumes: Exploring the Mystery of the Border River, Whispers from the Northern Frontier, Visiting Ancient West Sleep, Hunting Shadows in the Snowland, Flowers Flying in the Southern Frontier, and Watching the Tide in the Ocean. This book is composed of various thematic sections, approaching and summarizing issues from the perspectives of human geography and natural geography, striving to present and summarize problems from the perspective of spiritual culture. "Exploration" is the requirement of this series of books, spreading facts that people want to know but do not know, helping them see new landscapes, gain new perspectives, and experience new feelings. This book is part of the Exploring the Mystery of the Border River volume in the series on exploring China's borders.

The content of this book is rich and illustrated, spreading facts that people want to know but do not know, helping them see new landscapes, gain new perspectives, and experience new feelings.
