Benzilan Town

Benzilan in Tibetan means "a golden sandbar". With mild weather conditions, 
Benzilan is a place of fertility. Seated on the Yunnan-Tibet Road, it used to be 
an important stop on the Ancient Tea-Horse Trail (Road) from Yunnan to Tibet. 
Nowadays, Benzilan has served as the most important stop for travel groups 
and caravans to get supplies to further go across Baimang Snow Mountain. 
Benzilan is famous for its local handicrafts such as Zanba Box (Zan Ba He. 
Zanba is a kind of Tibetan food made from highland barley) and wooden bowels 
etc. Nearby tourist sites include Gadan•Dongzhulin Monastery and the viewing
 stand for the Great Bend of the Jinsha River etc.
