Nyingchi

Nyingchi (Wylie: nying khri grong khyer, THL: nying tri drong khyer, ZYPY: nyingchi chongkyêr), also known as Linzhi (Chinese: 林芝; pinyin: Linzhi) or Nyingtri, is a prefecture-level city in the southeast of the Tibet Autonomous Region in China.

The relatively low elevation compared to other regions of the Tibetan plateau yields a lower risk of altitude sickness.

According to the plan, Guangdong will help build 22 "prosperous model villages" in Nyingchi in counties such as Bomê and Zayü.

Wildlife species include "the Bengal tiger, leopard, bear, snub-nosed monkey, antelope and lesser panda.

Agricultural products include medicinal materials, "edible fungus, orange, tangerine, sugar cane, honey peach, apple, pear, grape, walnut and other fruits."
