Dzingcho

Dzingcho lies among the wooded mountains of southern Kham, south of Batang and west of Sampheling. This is the country of Kyenarong, where uplands are divided by valleys descending towards the great rivers of eastern Tibet. The southern roads through Kham link the Tibetan interior with Sichuan and Yunnan, passing between mountain basins and river crossings. Around Dzingcho, forested slopes rise between these corridors: a journey towards Batang or the southern valleys follows the folds of the mountains rather than a straight course across the high country.
