Gya'nyima
Plain in Tibet / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gyanema[1] or Gya'nyima[2] (Tibetan: རྒྱ་ཉི་མ, Wylie: rgya nyi ma, THL: gya nyi ma)[2] is a large plain at the border between the Zanda County and Burang County in western Tibet, which was once used for an annual market of Indo-Tibetan trade. The border has been sealed and the market shut down since the Sino-Indian War of 1962.[3] At the present time, there is only a small settlement at the western edge of the plain called Xilanta (Chinese: 西兰塔),[2] where China operates a military outpost.
