Picture shows a wide street in Shiquanhe Town, Ngari Prefecture, northern Tibet. (China Tibet Information Center Photo)Shiquanhe Town, the seat of northern Tibet's Ngari Prefectural Commissioner's Office, is named after a river in the town, whose headwater gurgles out of a terrain of a lion's mouth.
Before 1964, the place was a "solitary island" with practically no population. Today, after constant development in the past decades, it has become the prefecture's political, cultural, economic and trade center.
