Yangpachen Qingzang highway and Northern Prairie 　 Yangpachen   110 kilometers (68 miles) north to Lhasa, Yangpachen is famous for its hot springs. It is said that a long time ago before the sky and the earth was separated, the whole world was in total darkness. People living at the foot of Mt.Nyainqentanglha were suffering. Then snow capped peaks of Mt. Nyainqentanglha appeared; grassland like huge carpet emerged; happiness came to the Tibetan people. Now it has a thermoelectricity plant, green houses and hot spring bathrooms, attracting more and more tourists. 　 Namtso Lake   It is 4,700 metres above sea level, 70 kilometres in length, 30 kilometres in width and 1,940 square kilometres in size.
