Gail county is the seat of the administrative office of Ali region in Tibet, with an altitude of 4350 meters, which is named because it is located on the bank of Shiquan River. Also known as "shiquanhe town", which means "barracks and tents" in Tibetan, it was named after the Qing government sent Mongolian general Gandan Cewang to attack and repel the enemy, and the Qing army camped here at that time.

Gail County, a newly-built transportation hub in the western plateau on a large area of Hongliutan, can only be regarded as a small town in the eyes of urbanites, but there is no bigger city from Yecheng in the north to Shigatse in the east.

My first impression of it is "a rapidly developing town". With the help of Shaanxi and Hebei provinces, its infrastructure has developed rapidly. The conditions it can provide to travelers are beyond their imagination. Running in Ali's wasteland for a few days, coming here is like going to heaven. Towering TV and communication towers, hotels and opposite telecom hotels are the most striking buildings in this area. The back door of the hotel is Ali Administrative Office, where Kong Fansen worked in those years. It is a spacious courtyard.

At the intersection not far from the administrative office, it is the most prosperous intersection in Lion Town. There are continuous Sichuan-style and Muslim restaurants, video halls, entertainment halls, hair salons, massage rooms and dance halls.

Telecommunication is very developed here. You can use your mobile phone or surf the Internet. Internet cafes are concentrated near the big crossroads, 3 yuan/hour. There are many IC cards and telephones in the street. Agricultural Bank of China and Postal Savings Bank are networked nationwide here.

The county's economy is dominated by animal husbandry, combining agriculture and animal husbandry. Planting is mainly highland barley, spring wheat and peas. Mainly raising yaks, bulls, horses, donkeys, mules, goats and sheep.

National handicraft industry is only a small number of family workshops, mainly producing wooden bowls.

Specialty products mainly include all kinds of plateau animal products, Schizothorax fish, naked Schizothorax fish, cone-nosed lip fish and so on.

Although administrative, cultural, educational, post and telecommunications, communications, electricity, lighting, water supply and other infrastructure.

Music, dance, myths, legends, etc. In recent years, it has been excavated and sorted out.

Shiquan River, also known as Sange Zangbo, is the upper reaches of the Indus River. It flows through the arid and cold areas in northwest Tibet, with a total length of 430 kilometers, a drainage area of 27,000 square kilometers and an annual runoff of about 700 million cubic meters. Originated in Gangrenbo, northern Qi Feng, with an altitude of 5164m, it belongs to the periglacial zone and flows downstream into the desert area. After Geji, shiquanhe town and other places, it joins the tributary Garzangbu at Zhaxigang. After leaving the country and entering Kashmir, it is called the Indus River. It is the region with the least rainfall in Tibet, with an annual rainfall of only 50-80 mm. The coastal areas are dominated by wide valleys, and swamps and hot springs are distributed. Hot springs mostly dive out from cracks in igneous rocks, which not only replenish rivers, but also increase the temperature of rivers, making some sections rarely freeze in winter. Because it is located in an arid area, the water system of Shiquan River is underdeveloped, with an average runoff depth of only 25 mm and an annual runoff of about 700 million cubic meters. It is the smallest river in Tibet. Nevertheless, it is still a valuable water source in the hinterland of the plateau where the climate is dry and fresh water is scarce.

It belongs to the arid climate zone of the plateau sub-cold zone. Dry and cold, strong solar radiation, long sunshine time. The annual average temperature is 0.2℃. The lowest temperature is -34.6℃.

The extreme minimum temperature in winter in shiquanhe town is -4 1 degree, and the extreme maximum temperature in summer is 2 1 degree. The temperature difference between day and night is quite large, and the temperature difference throughout the year is small. The temperature changes vertically with the altitude, and it can snow all year round. There is occasional snowfall in winter, but due to traffic congestion and scattered population, it is easy to form serious snowstorms, of which 1998 and 2002 are the most serious in recent years. In 2002, the snowstorm was three meters thick. Due to traffic disruption, Pulan and Zada counties were deprived of food for about a week, and people and animals starved to death, and the epidemic raged. Summer precipitation is very concentrated, basically lasting from June to the end of August. Mountain torrents and mudslides broke out on a large scale, rivers soared, roads and bridges were washed away, and there were different degrees of floods every year. In recent years, the summer of 2000 was the worst. Shiquan River and Jiamu River embankment are executed five times in two days, and Gaer County is in Wang Yang. Houses collapsed in a large area, and more than 20 million yuan of flood control projects were washed away without a trace. Due to the complete interruption of roads, windy weather exceeds 180 days, which is the area with the worst living conditions and the most frequent natural disasters in Xizang Autonomous Region.
