  • Old Yatung (Chinese: 老亚东; pinyin: Lǎo Yàdōng), originally just "Yatung", with a native Tibetan spelling of Nyatongor Myatong, is a location 2 miles west of Rinchengang in the lower Chumbi Valley in the present day Yadong County of Tibet. It is in the valley of Yatung Chu, the river that flows down from Jelep La to join the Amo Chu river near Rinchengang.But according to travel writer John Easton, Yatung is actually a hill top location adjoining the valley, which has a historic Kagyu monastery. The monastery itself lies along the route from the Nathu La pass via Champithang. Yatung entered history as the location offered by China for a trade mart of British India in the 1893 trade regulations. After the 1904 Younghusband Expedition, the British founded a new town at the confluence of Kangphu Chu and Tromo Chu rivers (the two headwaters of Amo Chu) and named this town "Yatung". It was to become a trading center and the eventual headquarters of the Yadong County. The original Yatung has been subsequently referred to as "Old Yatung". (en)
