Meaning "Happiness Town" in Tibetan, Gyirong received its nickname in the eighth century by a visitor from India. Located in the border area of China and Nepal, it has a mild climate which allows green vegetation to grow. Besides the weather, the abundant culture heritage and natural beauty, such as Mt. Yangrankangri and Mt. Langbokangri, make this place worth visiting. Gyirong also has conserved many famous temples, such as the Paba Temple and the Chagadasuo Temple.
