Beginning from the Lasagongma Spring and flowing through seven countries giving life to all those who come into contact with its waters, the Lancang River is one of the best sites that you could lay your eyes on. A hotel in Yunnan such as Anantara Xishuangbanna Resort & Spa will be a good option to reside in as it is found in close proximity to the river. This hotel Yunnan is known for must be given some thought when choosing to explore the Lancang River also referred to as the Mekong.
This trans-boundary river in South East Asia runs through countries such as China, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and even Burma. Many rapids and waterfalls are scattered throughout and one would do well to go on a boat ride from where its alluring aquatic mammals can be spotted. As it flows through a number of countries, the river is known by various names out of which Lancang is one. The waters take its course through the Yunnan Province and thereafter make its way to the Three Parallel Rivers Area of the Hengduan Mountains. The giant river carp, Mekong giant catfish freshwater stingray and the Irrawady dolphin are amongst the rest of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians that call the river home.
