The Reting Tsangpo () is a river in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. It is the main headwater of the Lhasa River. The river flows past Reting Monastery, founded in 1056. The terrain is geologically complex, with deeply eroded and faulted rocks that reflect the results of the collision of the Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate. ==Course== The Reting Tsangpo originates in the Chenthangula Mountains at an elevation of about , and flows southwest. It has an average gradient of about 11 feet per mile (2.1 meters per kilometer). In one section the Reting Tsangpo runs through a deep canyon. The river flows past the Reting Monastery. The monastery was founded in 1056 by Dromtön Gyelwai Jungne, a pupil of the Indian master Atiśa. The monastery is from the mouth of the river. The Lhasa River (or Kyi River) forms where the Reting Tsangpo is joined by two smaller rivers, the Phak Chu and the Phongdolha Chu which flows from Damxung County. The river is spanned by a large metal suspension bridge just above the juncture. The combined length of the Reting Tsangpo and the Lhasa River is about . The river is said to excellent for kayaking and white water rafting, although as of 2015 it had been visited by few tourists interested in these sports. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reting Tsangpo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
