Kangding

Lying between inland China and Tibet, the frontier town of Kangding is a bustling trading depot situated in a valley on the Zhepuo River.

Kangding (Chinese: 康定；pinyin: kāngdìng): Lying between inland China and Tibet, the frontier town of Kangding is a bustling trading depot situated in a valley on the Zhepuo River. During the Qing era, the town developed on the tea trade between Tibet and inland China and was the place where porters carrying leaves compressed into "tea bricks," would exchange their wares for Tibetan goods such as wool and copperware. The traditional folk song of Kangding Qingge (A Love Song of Kangding) has for decades been popular throughout the entire China. The romantic song has been credited with attracting thousands of travelers and backpackers to the town after they hear it because the people in the plateau are not as shy about romance as Han people.
