Shiquan River is a river located in the west of Xizang Autonomous Region, China. Tibetan is called "Sange Zangbu", which means "Shikou River". It originated near San Kabarin, the main peak of the Gangdise Mountain in northern Qi Feng, with an altitude of 565,438+064 meters. It flows west near Zhaxigang, joins Garzangbu, and then flows out of the country to the northwest, and is renamed the Indus River. This river is 430 kilometers long in China. Shiquan River, as a place name, also called Ali or Gaer, is the capital of Ali region in Tibet, bordering India in the west. Shiquanhe town is next to the Shiquan River, which was newly built after the peaceful liberation of Tibet. This town used to be a desolate red willow beach. The town has now become a transportation hub and an important industrial and border trade center in western Tibet. Transportation: It is convenient to go to Shiquan River from Xinjiang. From the south to the north of Shiquan River, in addition to chartered cars, you can only take a ride. As the hub of the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway, you can find hitchhikers here, including mail trucks, trucks and military vehicles. It takes three days to drive to Yecheng, and the cars going north to Xinjiang are more concentrated and easier to find. Ali's Xinjiang Mobile Road Maintenance Team on the south bank of Shiquan River specially receives trucks from Xinjiang. You can see Japanese trucks with spacious cabs here. Drivers are mostly Uighurs, and the fare to Yecheng is 300~400 yuan. In the morning, the military convoy will carry out the final inspection next to the repair station on the north side of the intersection. It costs about 300 yuan to take the cab of a military vehicle, which is slower than a truck, but safer.
