Historically the town was also known as Ger. This name, in the form Gar (simplified Chinese:噶尔; traditional Chinese:噶爾; pinyin:Ga'er), is now used to refer to the entire county; however, as the custom with Chinese county seats is, Gar is often used to refer to the county seat as well, and it may be labeled that way on maps.
Being the main town of Ngari Prefecture (which is known in Chinese under the Sinicized form of its name, Ali Prefecture), the town is also commonly known in English as Ngari or Ali (Chinese:阿里; pinyin:Ālǐ) Town; this is what many guidebooks use as the primary name for the town.
In Tibetan, Ngari is only the name for the prefecture, and not the town.
The name Shiquanhe is originally the name of the river; in Tibetan, it is Sengge Zangbo (in SASM/GNC/SRC transcriptions, sometimes simply Senge Zangbo),Senge Zangbu (森格藏布) or Sengghe Tsangpo (in a transcription used in Western books).
The source of that river, a hot spring, supposedly, looks like the lion's mouth; thus the name, interpreted as "river flowing from the lion's mouth".

Chinese Roads near the Tibet-Arunachal border - a Google Earth study
All images used are sourced from Google Earth and their content providers
There are 4 main roads leading down to eastern India from Chinese highways in Tibet. Three lead to Arunachal Pradesh, and one to Sikkim
1. The easternmost - the provincial road S 201 is the one going towards the Walong area is in rough mountainous terrain. The road follows a narrow river valley and enters India as the Lohit river valley. This road does not come via the Tibetan plain but via the eastern limit of the Himalayas - so there are no flat areas to build towns or settlements or even roads. The road pretty much faithfully follows the river valley which is itself over 2500-2800 meters up and on either side are forested mountainsides going up all the way above the treeline to 4000 to 4500 meters. Attacks from ...

There are 4 main roads leading down to eastern India from Chinese highways in Tibet. Three lead to Arunachal Pradesh, and one to Sikkim
1. The easternmost - the provincial road S 201 is the one going towards the Walong area is in rough mountainous terrain. The road follows a narrow river valley and enters India as the Lohit river valley. This road does not come via the Tibetan plain but via the eastern limit of the Himalayas - so there are no flat areas to build towns or settlements or even roads. The road pretty much faithfully follows the river valley which is itself over 2500-2800 meters up and on either side are forested mountainsides going up all the way above the treeline to 4000 to 4500 meters. Attacks from this area are possible by men or foot or special forces. There is no easy place for a motorized attack force to come.
2. The next road coming towards India is a little further west of the S 201 (described above). In fact this road is the shortest one from the Chinese highways to the Indian border. It literally runs along the Tsangpo river valley just after the great bend and the river enters Arunachal Pradesh in the form of a Z-bend to become the Siang river which later becomes the Brahmaputra. Although it is the shortest road ~90 km to the Indian border it also runs through such rough mountainous terrain that the area was cut off for 6 months a year from the rest of China until recently. The road runs from a town called Bowo on the main China-Tibet highway to a town called Medog which is about 20 odd km from the Indian border. In the last 7-8 years the Chinese have improved their own access ro Medod from Bowo by building a 9 km long tunnel in the mountain road from Bowo to Medog. Even so this remains a treacherous route and beyond Medog into India there is no road - only narrow valley and mountain trails. Again this mountain area does not offer places for large military establishments. The Chinese have only a small visible military footprint in this area.
3. The third road from highways to India is the S-202 Provincial road to the Tawang area. My last video was about this road.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azQlfT9Iv4s
The S-202 is about 200 km long from highway to the Tawang border at Bum La. It is along this road that the Chinese have the most visibly large military presence in the Eastern region. This area is where the Chinee sit on the heights and Tawang is down on the slopes leading to Tawang Chu river.
4. The last "eastern road" from highways to India is near Nathu La in Sikkim - the S-204 provincial road. I am currently working on a video describing this. This is where the Chinese received a drubbing in 1967. This is also where the Chinese road comes all the way up to the Indian border where Indian tourists can photograph the Chinese road and PLA guardsmen, marvel at the road and say how the Chinese have built excellent roads all the way to the Indian border. India occupies high ground with a commanding view of the Chinese side in this area.
The S-204 is a much longer road distance from the main Chinese highway than the S-202 to Tawang. The S-204 to Nathu La is 300 km long and it comes from a town called Xigaze to Nathu La. Xigaze has a railway line from Lhasa - and Lhasa is connected via the railway to the rest of China. I will do a separate piece about the railway. Xigaze (or Shigatse) has an airfield also - situated at 3800 km high and a 5 km long runway and is not a great one for heavily laden aircraft to take off. Chinese military presence along the S-204 is less heavy and less robust than along the S-202 to Tawang

She's beautiful in face and form way above the norm and in this cold world her words tumble out warm. I don't want to die but in her eyes drown I need her like make up needs the clown. Her loveliness invades me flower atracks the bee She's a temple and I am her devotee don't want to be alone want to be with her O that I was the covers of her sidur.
