About Lhasa Gonggar

It is built in the county where Yarlung Tsangpo River (the Brahmaputra River) is very wide, on the right bank (southern bank) of the river providing facilities for the runways constructed though away from Lhasa where space was a limitation. The airport lies to the west of Rawa-me, which is the capital of the county, at the entry of the Namrab Valley, 87 kilometres (54 mi) from Tsetang.
