Confluence of rivers
The Dza Chu and Ngom Chu meet at the heart of the town. Their joined channel heads south as the Lancang, and the fork gives the map its clear Y-shaped outline.

Mapu
Seen from above, Qamdo sits on a point of land in eastern Tibet, at the spot where two rivers, the Dza Chu and the Ngom Chu, flow together. Below the junction they carry on as the Lancang, the name the upper Mekong takes in China. The town fills the flat ground at the confluence and follows both valleys upstream, so its street plan looks like a letter Y cut into the mountains.
The terrain sets the shape of the city more than any plan does. The valley floors are narrow, and the slopes rise sharply on every side, so buildings line the riverbanks in long bands and the roads bend with the water. Bridges link the neighbourhoods on the far banks back to the central point. On a Qamdo map poster the rivers stay in clear view, and the blank hillsides around them read as open space.
Qamdo has long been one of the main towns of the Kham region and a stop on the old routes between Tibet and Sichuan and Yunnan. On a terrace above the confluence stands Qamdo Monastery, a large Gelug monastery founded in the fifteenth century, which still shapes the skyline. The town lies at roughly 3,200 metres, and that height matters in every valley and slope you see on the map.
The Dza Chu and Ngom Chu meet at the heart of the town. Their joined channel heads south as the Lancang, and the fork gives the map its clear Y-shaped outline.
Qamdo Monastery sits on raised ground between the two rivers, above the central streets. Its large compound shows up on the map as a distinct block at the top of the confluence.
Steep slopes hem the town in, so its roads run in long, curving lines beside the rivers. Bridges cross the water at intervals and tie the separate banks into one town.

Chifukwa chiyani Qamdo
Qamdo appeals to people who have made the long overland journey through Kham, or to anyone who grew up in these valleys. Where rivers meet in the mountains, the map has a strong outline, and in black and white it reads almost like a drawing of how the water runs.
You can personalise the poster with your own title, subtitle and coordinates line, perhaps the date you crossed a pass or first reached the town. Choose from five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Get HD files for $9, or order a matte print with an optional wooden frame.
