How many meters above sea level is Shiquan River?

Shiquanhe Town is 4,300 meters above sea level.

Shiquan River is called Senge Zangbo in Tibetan. Shiquanhe Town is the seat of the Ali Prefecture Administrative Office. It is located at the upper source of the Indus River, one of the major rivers in the western Tibet Autonomous Region. Originating from the glacier lake north of Mount Kailash, the main peak of the Gangdise Mountains, it flows from south to north to near Bangba, then turns westward, passing through Geji Town, to the Shiquan River Basin, and is incorporated into Karma near the residence of Tashigang Township. Erzangbo turns northwest and flows into the Ladakh region.

The basin area is 27,450 square kilometers. Because the mountain where the spring is located is shaped like a lion, it is named Shiquan River. Some people say that Shiquanhe Town is the most beautiful town in the world. It is 4,300 meters above sea level and located on the bank of Shiquan River, so it is named "Shiquanhe Town". Although it is located in the Gobi Desert, the gurgling Shiquan River brings vitality to the place.
