Historical sites

The site of British business agency in Yadong: 12 kilometers away from the county seat, it was built in 1894. It is located in the east of chunpitang, xiayadong Township, in the gorge between zelila pass and naidula pass. It is the first building built by British imperialism after the invasion of Yadong in the 19th century. After the signing of Lhasa treaty in 1905, the British business agency in Yadong moved to xiasima town in 1906, and the former business agency was abandoned.

Situation in the South

Close to Bhutan and Sikkim (occupied by India), the situation in the south is complicated.

On June 16, 2017, Yadong County started the construction of the border defense road from dokala to shucaochang sentry post in donglang, xiayadong township.

On June 18, more than 270 Indian border guards, armed with weapons and two bulldozers, crossed the Sikkim section of the border line for more than 100 meters at the dokala pass, intruded into China's donglang territory and obstructed China's road construction activities, causing tension. The number of Indian border guards crossing the border reached more than 400 when they reached the maximum. Together with two bulldozers and three tents, the depth of crossing the border reached more than 180 meters. By the end of July, more than 40 Indian border guards and a bulldozer were still illegally detained on Chinese territory. In history, India has encroached on China's territory many times and has become a habit. In the long line of actual control between China and India, the "duokala confrontation" is the first case of India's invasion of the established border. Different from other disputed areas, it is quite serious in nature. China's Ministry of foreign affairs, Ministry of national defense and Chinese Embassy in India have repeatedly made solemn representations to India in Beijing and New Delhi, strongly demanding that India respect China's territorial sovereignty and immediately withdraw its cross-border border border forces. This is the basis and condition for dialogue between the two sides. The construction of donglang border defense highway is China's main right, which is in line with international law and China's domestic law.

Donglang is located about 13 kilometers south of Asang village, xiayadong township. To the north is shajura. In the west, it borders Sikkim with a ridge of lasijiu (also known as lashijiu), tochela, dokhara (also known as dongla); in the southwest, it starts from Mount jimmazhen (formerly the junction of China, Buzhi and India), along the ridge of chela and renganggong in the southeast, and reaches jiepula (Jiepu pass) in the southernmost
