Located in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, China, Zheduo County is situated in the hinterland of the Tibetan Plateau, with an average elevation of over 4,200 meters above sea level, and is dominated by alpine grasslands and mountainous terrain. It is the birthplace of the Lancang River (the upper reaches of the Mekong River) and is known as the "First County of the Lancang River Source".
