The Tanggula (Chinese: 唐古拉山, p Tánggǔlāshān, or 唐古拉山脉, p Tánggǔlāshānmài), Tangla, Tanglha, or Dangla Mountains (Tibetan: གདང་ལ་།, w Gdang La, z Dang La) are a mountain range in the central part of the Tibetan Plateau in Tibet, China.[1] Administratively, the range is in the Nagqu Prefecture of the Tibet Autonomous Region, with the central section extending into nearby Tanggula Town and the eastern section entering the Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai province.

This article is about the geographic source of the Yangtze River. For the similarly named range serving as the source of the Brahmaputra, see Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains.

The Tanggula is the source of the Ulan Moron and Dangqu Rivers, the geographic headwaters of the Yangtze River. The range thus functions as a dividing range between the basin of the Yangtze in the north and the endorheic basins of north-eastern Tibet in the south.


Overview


The elevations of the main ridge average more than 5,000 m (16,404 ft). The Yangtze River originates in this mountain range; Geladandong, 6,621 metres or 21,722 feet high, located in Tanggula Town, is the tallest peak in the range.[2]

The Qinghai-Tibet Highway and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway cross the Tanggula Mountains at Tanggula Mountain Pass. This is the highest point of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, and the highest point of any railway in the world, at 5,072 metres (16,640 feet) above sea level.[3] On account of snow and occasional road accidents, highway closures and concomitant traffic delays are not uncommon.[4]

The mountains lie within the Tibetan Plateau alpine shrub and meadows ecoregion.[5]

[fr] Monts Tanggula

Les monts Tanggula (chinois : 唐古拉山脉 ; pinyin : tánggǔlā shānmài ; litt. « chaîne de montagne Tanggula », Tanggula étant la translittération phonétique du terme tibétain en chinois), aussi appelés monts Dangla (tibétain : གདང་ལ་།, Wylie : gdang la, pinyin tibétain : dang la, dialecte de Lhassa API : mont au-dessus des plateaux), sont une chaîne de montagnes entre la région autonome du Tibet[1]. Ils sont situés sur le plateau tibétain et leur crête principale a une hauteur d'une moyenne de 5 000 mètres. Le fleuve Yangtze prend sa source dans cette chaîne de montagnes et le Geladaindong (d'une altitude de 6 621 mètres) est le plus haut sommet de la chaîne[2] au sud-ouest et la province du Qinghai au nord. Le col de Tanggula soutient le plus haut chemin de fer du monde à 5 072 mètres d'altitude[3].

[it] Monti Tanggula

I monti Tanggula, in cinese 唐古拉山S, TánggǔlāshānP, T'ang-ku-la ShanW, noti anche come monti Dangla (in tibetano གདང་ལ་།, Gdang LaW, Dang LaP), sono una catena montuosa situata nella Regione Autonoma del Tibet, in Cina sud-occidentale. Sull'elevato altopiano a sud dei monti, vi sono molti grandi laghi salati. Nella sua parte orientale la catena forma il confine tra il Tibet e la provincia del Qinghai. Nonostante molte vette superino i 5700 m e la più alta, il Basudan Ula, raggiunga i 6100 m, i monti Tanggula non sembrano particolarmente elevati, dal momento che si innalzano da un altopiano circostante che si trova a un'altitudine media di 5000 m sul livello del mare. I monti Tanggula hanno contorni piuttosto arrotondati nel loro settore occidentale; il settore più impervio e profondamente frastagliato è quello orientale, ove si trovano estese aree coperte da nevi perenni.
