It is the political, economic, cultural and communication center of Ngari. It was named after the Shiquanhe River, which runs through it. Besides,it is the biggest city, thousand kilometers in circumference. The other big cities such as Yecheng in the north, Shigatse in the east are more than thousands of kilometers away from Shiquenhe.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; The former name of this town is Ger, which means casern in Tibetan. During the Qing dynasty, Shike army from Kashmir used to invade Shiquenhe Town. Qing dynasty government sent the Mongolia General Guden Csiwang to beat back the enemy. The Qing army had once camped here, so it got the name. <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; Now, with the help of Shanxi, Henan and Hebei Provinces, the infrastructure in the city develops very quickly, which can provide a much better tourism surrounding for tourists than what people described in their travel notes. <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; The town is situated on a wild gobi desert. The Shiquanhe River flows through the town like a piece of auspicious hada. A mighty stone lion stands facing southeast at the center of the downtown traffic island. It is the symbol of the town, which extends outward from the traffic island through four streets. The street to the south is a commercial center, and the streets to the east and west are where various departments of the prefectural government are located. The street to the north is part of the Xinjiang-Tibet highway, leading to Rutog County and further to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. All shops and restaurants in the town face the streets, and public telephone facilities are available everywhere. On the roofs and walls of many Tibetan-style dwelling houses are heaps of dry roots of rose willow used as kindling. <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; This town is long and narrow, surrounded by many tall mountains. On the open gobi, the town is small and bustling with activity and vitality. The Post Office Hotel is the most luxurious hotel in the town. Shizi Road is the most prosperous road, nor far from the Xingshu Road. In the north there are Sinkiang Hotel and Shanxi Hotel. In the south, there are lots of two-storeyed buildings standing along the roadside. Most of them are continuous Sichuan Restaurants, Muslim Restaurants, cinema, KTV and other entertainment places. But it¡¯s a little bit difficult to take a shower, so you have to pay RMB 10 to have a hot water shower.</P> <P>Tips: <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; Cell phones have signal here and there are lots of IC phone on the street. Tourists can also surf on the Internet here. The Internet cafe here is not so big but very expensive, RMB 8 an hour. However, in Telecom Internet Cafe you only have to pay RMB 6 an hour, but the business hours are not so long for short of electricity. Water is only supplied in the afternoon. There are lots of laundries on the street, RMB 6 per suite.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp; If you like flour-made food, you may find that here is a small food heaven for you. Baozi (Steamed bun), jiaozi (Chinese dumplings), wonton, flapjacks, hand pulled noodles, Sinkiang noodles mixed with vegetables and meat, Shanxi noodles with a layer of minced meat, fried noodles, noodles sprinkled by oil and other flour foods are very delicious. You can also find Uigur barbecue stalls and have some nice shish kebab. What¡¯s more, you can enjoy Sinkiang fresh fruit and vegetables here. <BR></P> </div> <div class="pagebreak">page:<strong><a href="../Html/20081280648-1.Html">[1]page</a>&nbsp;</strong></div> <div id="txtBottom"> <span>[<A href="javascript:doPrint()"> Printing</A>] [<A class=black href="javascript:window.close()">Closure</A>]</span> </div><!--/ txtBottom--> <div id="next" style="margin-left:20px;"> <div> <p> <span style="font-size:12px; font-weight:bold;">More Information Related to Ngari Travel Guide</span></p> <ul> <xoYu_CMS_CODE:NEWS:NEWS_TOP><a title="Hiking (walking)" href="../Html/200813124028-1.Html">Hiking (walking)</a><p><a title="Zanda County" href="../Html/20081310255-1.Html">Zanda County</a><p><a title=" Namling County" href="../Html/2008130213241-1.Html"> Namling County</a><p><a title=" Burang County" href="../Html/200813005053-1.Html"> Burang County</a><p><a title="Gurla Mandata (Namo Nani)" href="../Html/20081292233-1.Html">Gurla Mandata (Namo Nani)</a><p><a title=" Shiquenhe Town" href="../Html/20081280648-1.Html"> Shiquenhe Town</a><p><a title="Ngari Prefecture" href="../Html/200812723744-1.Html">Ngari Prefecture</a><p><a title="Tsada Clay Forest" href="../Html/200631113149-1.Html">Tsada Clay Forest</a><p><a title="Toling Temple" href="../Html/20063111292-1.Html">Toling Temple</a><p><a title="Rutok Rock Paintings" href="../Html/200631112738-1.Html">Rutok Rock Paintings</a><p><a title="Ruins of the Guge Kingdom" href="../Html/200631112435-1.Html">Ruins of the Guge Kingdom</a><p><a title="Palgon Tso Lake" href="../Html/200631112116-1.Html">Palgon Tso Lake</a><p><a title="Mt.Kailash" href="../Html/200631112020-1.Html">Mt.Kailash</a><p><a title="Mt Namnani" href="../Html/200631111945-1.Html">Mt Namnani</a><p><a title="MaphamYumtso Lake (the Holy Lake)" href="../Html/200631111911-1.Html">MaphamYumtso Lake (the Holy Lake)</a><p><a title="Lanangtso (the Demon lake)" href="../Html/200631111834-1.Html">Lanangtso (the Demon lake)</a><p><a title="Kejia Temple" href="../Html/200631111753-1.Html">Kejia Temple</a><p><a title="Brief info. of Nagri" href="../Html/200631111712-1.Html">Brief info. of Nagri</a><p></xoYu_CMS_CODE:NEWS:NEWS_TOP></ul> </div> </div> </div> <!--/ leftMainContent--> </div><!--/ leftMain--> <div id="rightMain"> <div id="thisformdiv"> <form action=" http://www.tibettravel.org/tibettravel/order/order_save.asp" method="post" id="thisform" name="myform" onSubmit="return check()"> <fieldset> <legend>Want a Quick Answer?</legend> <p><label for="name" accesskey="9">Name:&nbsp;</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="Fullname" tabindex="1"></p> <p> <label for="email">Email:&nbsp;</label> <input type="text" id="email" name="Email"tabindex="2"></p> <p> <label for="request">Your Request</label> <input type="text" value="3" name="type1" style="display:none" /> <input type="text" value="Quick Book" name="title" style="display:none" /> <label> <textarea name="content" id="text1" rows="3" onBlur="if (value ==''){value='Question not answered?
