With an average altitude(海拔)of over 4,000 metres, it is the highest plateau in the world and is known as the "roof of the world". This plateau is the birthplace of many Chinese rivers
and has over 1,000 lakes, with Qinghai Lake being the largest saltwater lake.
In the north of China, we can find the Inner Mongolian Plateau. As the second largest plateau, it's about 700,000 square kilometres. It lies mostly between 1,000 and 1,200 metres above sea level. The plateau is mostly flat(平坦的)and has wide grassland.

The Loess Plateau is the third largest plateau in our country. It rises between 1,000 and 2,000 metres above sea level. The plateau was named after the yellowish soil(土壤)that covers the area.

Through many studies, some Chinese scientists hold that it was carried by the north wind from the Inner Mongolian Plateau and the Mongolian inland areas over thousands of years.
The Yunnan-Kweichow Plateau is the smallest among the four major plateaus. It mainly spreads over the provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou. The plateau has a great difference in altitude, from 400 to 3,500 metres above sea level, and it goes down from the northwest to the southeast.
