Zhentang Township In Tibet

An aerial drone photo taken on Dec. 13, 2024 shows a view of Zhentang Township, Dinggye County of Xigaze, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. Zhentang is a remote township bordering Nepal in Dinggye County in the city of Xigaze. Besieged by forests at the foot of Qomolangma deep in the Himalayas, the township has an average altitude of over 2,000 meters and is home to more than 2,600 Sherpa people.
