雅鲁藏布江英文介绍

The Yarlung Zangbo River (Chinese: 雅鲁藏布江; pinyin: Yǎlǔ Zàngbù Jiāng) or Yarlung Tsangpo (Tibetan: ཡར་ཀླུངས་གཙང་པོ་; Wylie: yar kLungs gTsang po) originates upstream from the South Tibet Valley and Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, in Tibet. It then passes through the state of Arunachal Pradesh, India, where it is known as the Dihang. Downstream from Arunachal Pradesh the river becomes wider and at this point is called the Brahmaputra River. It eventually disgorges into the Bay of Bengal. Since the river crosses international boundaries, it has at least three different names in different languages.[1]
