Angren County is located in the southwestern part of Shigatse City in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, with an average elevation of over 4,100 meters above sea level, making it one of the most important agricultural and animal husbandry counties in Tibet. The area is blessed with unique natural landscapes. The Dagge Geyser, Asia's first intermittent geyser, is located here, and the water column reaches up to dozens of meters high when erupting, making it a spectacular sight to behold.
