The Tanggula (Chinese: , p ''Tánggǔlāshān'', or , p ''Tánggǔlāshānmài''), Tangla, Tanglha, or Dangla Mountains (Tibetan: , w ''Gdang La'', z ''Dang La'') are a mountain range in the central part of the Tibetan Plateau in the People's Republic of China.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tanggula Mountains )〕 Administratively, the range is in the Nagqu prefecture of the Tibet Autonomous Region, with the central section extending into the nearby town of Tanggula and the eastern section entering the Yushu Tibetan autonomous prefecture of Qinghai province. The Tanggula is the source of the Ulan Moron and Dangqu Rivers, the geographic headwaters of the Yangtze. The range thus functions as a dividing range between the basin of the Yangtze River in the north and the endorheic basins of north-eastern Tibet in the south. ==Overview== The elevations of the main ridge average more than . The Yangtze River originates in this mountain range and Peak Geladandong (at , located within the town of Tanggula) is the tallest peak in the range. 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 above sea level.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New height of world's railway born in Tibet )〕 On account of the snow and occasional road accidents, highway closures and concomitant traffic delays are not uncommon.〔(Plateau traffic jam )〕 The mountains lie within the Tibetan Plateau alpine shrub and meadows ecoregion. 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「Tanggula Mountains」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
