From: China Tibet Online

In Khemar Township, Tingri County, Shigatse City, southwest China's Tibet, next to Mt. Qomolangma ( known as Mt. Everest in west), there is a place with abundant water and grass. Here, there are dozens of springs large and small, where clear spring water gurgles forth all day long.

More than 80 households in Khemar Township and the adjacent Gangga Township have been making their livings better-off thanks to this spring water.
