Maniganggo is situated at 4100m above sea level in the
Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, a north-western region within
the Sichuan province. Ground travel would take about 20
hours from Chengdu via the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, passing by
the Western Sichuan Plain, Ya-an City, Tianchuan (Sky
Spring), Yuè Liàng Wān Da Qiáo (Moon Bay Bridge), before
going through the Er Láng Shan Suí Dáo (Two Chaps Tunnel),
the highest tunnel, in terms of altitude, in the whole of
China at the present, then off to Rì Yù Gāo Yuán (Sun
Bathing Plateau) and followed by the famous historical city,
Lu Dìng, then to Xin Dao Qiáo (New Capital Bridge), Tǎ Gōng
Dà Căo Yuán (Ta Gong Big Plateau), Sì Gū Niang Xuě Shān
(Four Girls Snow Mountain), Bā Měi (Eight Beauty), Dào Fú,
Kāng Zàng Gāo Yuán (Kang Zang Plateau), Lú Huò, Ganzi, and
the Lián Huā Shēng Dà Shì Shān (Padmasambhava also called
Padmakara or Padma Raja). In summer, temperature in
Maniganggo ranges from 7 to 25˚C and in winter, the
temperature could drop to 0 to -20˚C. Kāng Huì Hospital
picked Maniganggo as its home because the location ideally
lies in the crossroads leading to Zhouqian, Qinghai, Dêgê
and Lhasa so more people in need could benefit from the
services the hospital has to offer.
