Chamdo, officially Qamdo[2][3] (Tibetan: ཆབ་མདོ, Wylie: chab mdo, ZYPY: qamdo) and also known in Chinese as Changdu (Chinese: 昌都; pinyin: Chang Du),[4] is a prefecture-level city in the eastern part of the Tibet Autonomous Region, China. Its seat is the town of Chengguan in Karuo District. Chamdo is Tibet's third largest city after Lhasa and Shigatse.[5]

Chamdo is divided into 11 county-level divisions: one district and ten counties. The main district is Karuo District. Other counties include Jonda County, Gonjo County, Riwoche County, Dengqen County, Zhag'yab County, Baxoi County, Zognang County, Maarkam County, Lhorong County, and Banbar County.

History

[edit]

On 11 July 2014 Chamdo Prefecture was upgraded into a prefecture-level city.[6]

Languages

[edit]

Languages spoken in Chamdo include Khams Tibetan and the Chamdo languages of Lamo, Larong, and Drag-yab.[7]

Transportation

[edit]

Air

[edit]

Changdu Bangda Airport, opened in 1994, is located 126 kilometres (78 miles) from Chengguan Town in Karub District. The long commute (2.5 hours by mountain road) is the result of no flat land closer to the city being available to construct an airport.

Road

[edit]

China National Highway 214 and China National Highway 317 are the main roads in and out of Chamdo.

Subdivisions

[edit]
Aerial view of Banbar County, Chamdo.

The city is subdivided into 11 county-level divisions: 1 district and 10 counties.
