The Lhasa River is a tributary of the Brahmaputra River in Tibet, China. It is approximately 200 miles (320 kilometers) long and flows south of Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region. The river's headwaters are in the Tanggula Mountains, and it is a significant source of potential hydroelectric power for the region. The Lhasa River also plays a role in the fertile plains where most farming in Tibet takes place.12345
