## Geography

[edit]

Nang is located in the south-west of Nyingtri, at the middle and lower reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo River. The county seat of Nang County is situated in a region resembling an elephant's trunk, leading to the metaphorical designation of this area as "Nang" which translates to elephant.[2] The average altitude is 5,000 metres above sea level.[3][4]

## Administrative divisions

Nang County contains 3 towns and 3 townships.
