Introducing Gānzī

The lively market town of Gānzī sits in a valley at 3400m, surrounded by the sleeping giants of Chola Mountain. Some 385km northwest of Kāngdìng, Gānzī is the capital of the Gānzī (Garzê) Autonomous Prefecture and is mostly populated by Tibetans and Khambas.

Gānzī sees a growing number of foreigners sojourning here as an intermediate stop between Sêrshu and Kāngdìng or on their way west to Dégé. It is a friendly place and it’s easy to spend several days here exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside, which is scattered with Tibetan villages and monasteries. Photo opportunities abound and it’s impossible to take a bad picture here.
