“The great Himalayan chain which forms the southern boundary of its land of origin, is intercepted on the south-east confines of Tibet by a transverse mountain system, originating with the Yunling and allied ranges, and also forming the ultra-Indian peninsulas, by which the Hoangho is forced far north, and ultimately finds its way into the Gulf of Pecheli.”

“We have seen that SAUNDERS in this region has three tremendous ranges, more enormous than even those of Richthofen. He even goes so far as to make Himalaya continue uninterruptedly, to the N. E., and to make the Yunling Mountains of western China practically one and the same fold as the Himalaya.”

“Topographically, the province is divided roughly into two major sections with the valleyland of the Yuanjiang River and the low-lying dale east of the Yunling Range as the demarcation line: the Hengduan Mountains are to the west and the Eastern Yunnan Plateau is to the east.”
