Situated on the upper reaches of Yangtze River in the northern Yunnan Province, the Golden Sand River runs between the Salween and Mekong Rivers. Between the rivers, are mountain peaks, which range from 3,300 meters to 5,600 meters, making it one of the world's deepest gorges. According to legend, the Golden Sand River wanted to marry the eastern sea but was forbidden by the jealous brothers Haba and Jade Dragon Snow Mountains. One night, Haba, who was on duty to block her passage, fell asleep, whereupon then Golden Sand River slipped past. When Jade Dragon found out, he cut off Haba's head, leaving his peak shorter and flatter.
