Tibet to Pilot National Park Project

Tibet to Pilot National Park Project

 

The first batch of pilot scenic spots includes Mt. Qomolangma, the Brahmaputra River Grand Canyon, the Namtso Lake and the Lake Manasarovar.

National parks are neither the same as nature reserves, or similar to common scenic spots. Since Yellowstone National Park, the first of its kind, was set up in 1872 in the United States, national parks have mushroomed all over the world. By now, nearly 10,000 national parks have been set up in more than 200 countries and areas.
