Chamdo is located in eastern Tibet, tucked away in the famous Hengduan Mountains Range, which is known as the Eastern Tibet Valley. In Chamdo, a series of mountain ranges run approximately from south to north, dissected by three rivers and three mountains. From west to east, they are Mountain Shubola and Nujiang River, Mountain Taniantaweng and Lantsang River, Mountain Damala-Ningjing and Jinshajiang River. Deep valleys and ravines meander between mountains with the average elevation exceeding 4000m-5000m, the height difference between mountain and river reaching 1000m-2000m. Chambo is Tibet's third largest city (after Lhasa and Shigatse).
