North Gate of Tibet Famous for Sacred Namtso Lake
Nachu Prefecture stands in the vast land of northern Tibet Autonomous Region, neighboring Xinjiang and Qinghai to the north. Within Tibet, it is bordered by Chamdo to the east, Lhasa to the south and Ngari to the west. The city's average altitude is more than 4,500 meters (14,764 feet) and it is hypoxic and dry. Despite the harsh climate, many visitors are still attracted by the clear sky, sparkling lakes, lofty mountains and vast grasslands.
The central attraction here is Namtso Lake, one of the three sacred lakes in Tibet. In the south of Namtso Lake is Mt. Nyainqentanglha, which is covered with snow all year round. In the folk songs and legends of local shepherds and hunters, Nianqing Tanggula Mountain and Namtso are incarnations of a couple.
