Jaggang

Chakgang,[1][2][a] or Jaggang[6] (Tibetan: ལྕགས་སྒང, Wylie: lcags sgang;[7][8] Chinese: 甲岗; pinyin: Jiǎ gǎng, often transliterated Jiagang),[9][10] is a village in the Rutog County, Ngari Prefecture in the Tibet region of China.

[10] Jiagang Cun (Chinese: 甲岗村; pinyin: Jiǎ gǎng cūn), i.e., "Jaggang Village", includes a wider area in the Maga Zangbo valley with numerous settlements.

Between 2014 and 2018, a model village was constructed at the former campsite called Jibajiawu, upstream on Maga Zangbo 15 km west of Chakgang, which was also described as being part of Jiagang Cun.

A monthly fair used to be held at this location, visited by traders from Ladakh and Lahul, who would exchange the produce of India for pashm, wool, salt and other products.

At a location called Jibajiawu (or Gie Bajiawu), 15 km west of Chakgang, a model village has been constructed between 2014 and 2018, which is described as part of Jiagang Cun.

[11][12][13][14] In the valley to the east of Chakgang, two further villages at Womai Xiong and Queding are also marked as belonging to the Jiagang Cun area.

[2][21] Another settlement called Chiakang (Chinese: 且砍; pinyin: Qiě kǎn) further upstream on Maga Zangbo may also be part of Jiagang Cun.
