As it follows its 2600 mile journey to the sea, the river runs through valleys and gorges plunging ever downwards. In sparsely populated northern Yunnan, the Mekong drops an incredible 15,000 feet, making it a formidable obstacle to cross. Bridges are few and far-between, so the most common method of crossing is by zip line — a single strand of cable strung at a steep angle over the river. Using a sling attached to a pulley, the rider hooks on the cable and with the help of gravity slides down the high wire as if aboard an adventure park ride, suspended several hundred feet over the churning white water to get to the other side. #dzachu #tibetan #lancangjiang #yunnanprovince #mekongriver A limited number of signed copies of Mike’s out-of-print book “A Journey on the Mother of Waters: Mekong” are available to purchase from our website michaelyamashita.com or the link in our profile.」6月13日 10時21分
