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. Zhentang, meaning "path for transportation," earned its name when Sherpa people would carry large amounts of daily necessities across the steep terrain long ago. Thanks to improved transportation and telecommunication facilities, the Sherpa people in the once-isolated township at the China-Nepal border are now connected with the outside world and embracing modern life. In recent years, Zhentang has focused on developing cross-border trade, aquaculture, tourism and other industries.

Zhentang Township In Tibet

A Sherpa man makes bamboo baskets on the roof in Zhentang Township, Dinggye County of Xigaze, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, on Dec. 13, 2024. 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.

In recent years, Zhentang has focused on developing cross-border trade, aquaculture, tourism and other industries.

The US-Supplied Bunker-Busting Bomb Israel Is Using In Lebanon

Handout photo shows October 16, 2012 shows a F-35A conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft completed the first in-flight weapons release of a 2,000 pound GBU-31 BLU-109 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) from a 5th Generation fighter. The munitions Israel used to kill Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, have been identified as US-supplied “bunker-busting” bombs. A video published by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) showed eight planes taking off fitted with about 15 900kg bombs. Dr Nic Jenzen-Jones, director of arms intelligence consultancy Armament Research Services (ARES), identified the bombs as BLU-109s, also known as “bunker-busters” as they are capable of destroying military bunkers deep underground.
