(220606) -- LHASA, June 6, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Aerial photo taken on May 27, 2022 shows the Yarlung Zangbo River flowing past Shannan City of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. The middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, once stretches of barren land with sandstorms raging in spring and winter, now see a sea of green trees all over the place. With unwavering endeavors of sand control and ecology restoration, more than 45 million trees have been planted over the past four decades in Shannan, an area the Yarlung Zangbo River runs through. In 1967, Li Chunlu, an agricultural school graduate from northwest China's Gansu Province, was assigned to work in Shannan. On his way to work, the 24-year-old was inundated by the yellow dust in the air. Li thought, at the time, how good it would be if trees could be planted here. An ambition of planting trees was bred in Li Chunlu as a boy named Penjig from a village by the Yarlung Zangbo River planted a few willow branches on the hillside where he grazed

    (230618) -- NYINGCHI, June 18, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on June 15, 2023 shows the giant cypress measuring 102.3 meters at the national nature reserve of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon in Bome County, Nyingchi City, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. The record of the tallest tree in the Chinese mainland has been refreshed several times in the past year or so. Last year in April, a research team led by Peking University found a 76.8-meter tree in Medog County in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, marking China's tallest tree at the time. The record was broken a month later when an 83.2-meter tree was found in Zayu County. This year in May, the record has been refreshed again, as the giant cypress measuring 102.3 meters was discovered in Bome County in Tibet Autonomous Region. This new discovery even refreshed the Asian record for the tallest tree. All these tall trees share a common feature. They were all discovered within Nyingchi City, specifically in Medog County, Zayu County,
