Source of the Huanghe River

The Huanghe (Yellow) River descends from Yokutsunglieh Canal in the north, east of Mt. Yagradagze in Madoi County, and Kari Qu in the south in Qumarleb County. The source region is 5,000 meters above sea level. The river meanders through broad grasslands, accepting numerous springs, which empty themselves into more than 100 pools and lakes dotted around, glistening in the sun like stars, giving the area the name the Sea of Stars. The pools and lakes join in a 10-meter-wide, 0.5-meter-deep stream - the source of the river. The best season for trekking is from June through September.
