One possible version:
The Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon
Hello, Steven. I'd like to tell you something about the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon. I think it is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. It is not only the longest canyon but also the deepest in the world. It's 504.6 kilometres long, 6,009 metres deep. It's called “the plant museum” and “the animal kingdom” because there're millions of plants and animals there.
The best time to visit it is in spring and in summer. If you come to visit it, you'll feel amazed at it.
