Shannan Travel Guide
Shannan
Shannan Prefrecture of the Tibet Autonomous Region is located at the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River south of the Kangdese Mountains-called the Nyainqentanglha Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is bounded by the capital city Lhasa to the north, Xigaze to the west, Nyingchi to the east and India and Bhutan to the south. With an area of 73,500 square kilometers, Shannan occupies one-fifteenth of the total area of the Tibet Autonomous Region. With a boundary line of more than 600 kilometers, it has great strategic importance and serves as China´s southwestern border area.
The staple diet of Shannan includes typical Tibetan food such as Tsamba, yak butter tea and chang. In addition to serving food, the Sichuan restaurants also provide shoulder rubs to offer another choice for travelers who may not be accustomed to the flavor of Tibetan food. Favored by a warm, humid climate, most of the Shannan Region is farmland, and the growers provide the region with a rich supply of vegetables. The restaurant prices are approximately the same as those in Lhasa. Yamdrok air-dry meat, a local food known for its tasty and special flavor, is definitely worth a try.
