Shiquanhe, meaning Lion Spring River Town and known in Tibetan as Senggekanbab, is the main town and administrative seat of Ngari Prefecture in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China. It stands on the bank of the Senge Zangbo, the source stream of the Indus River, close to its confluence with the Gartang River. When the prefecture was created in 1959 its capital was at Gunsa and Shiquanhe had about 400 people, but the population grew from just over 1,500 to over 20,000 between 1978 and 2008.
