On the border between India and Tibet the rocks have been raised eight kilometres above sea level, creating the world's highest mountain range, the Himalayas.
印度與西藏的交界處，巨大的巖石被推擠至海平面以上8000米處之高，造就了世界最高大宏偉的山脈 ——喜馬拉雅山。
But to the east, the rocks have buckled into a series of steep north-south ridges, cutting down through the heart of Yunnan, the parallel mountains of the Hengduan Shan.
對東部來說，巖石被皺褶進了南北走向的綿延陡峭的山脊，同時也切進了云南的心臟地帶，形成了平行的橫斷山脈。
These natural barriers serve to isolate Yunnan's plants and animals in each adjacent valley.
這些天然屏障守護著隔絕在云南，各自毗鄰的河谷中的動植物。
While the huge temperature range between the snowy peaks and the warmer slopes below provides a vast array of conditions for life to thrive.
雪峰與斜坡間的巨大的溫差，所創造的足夠的優厚條件，使得這兒生命彰顯無限生機。
Through spring, the Hengduan slopes stage one of China's greatest natural spectacles. The forests here are among the most diverse botanical areas in the world.
春的歲月，橫斷山脈的斜坡上上演了中國最為壯絕的自然景致。此處的森林擁有世界上最多樣化的植被及物種。
Over 18,000 plant species grow here, of which 3,000 are found nowhere else.
