8 8 21 A discussion on the boundary and area of the Tibetan Plateau in China ZHAN G Yi2li, L I Bing2yuan, ZHEN G Du ( Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, CAS, Beijing ,China) Abstract :The Tibetan Plateau is a unique geomorp hic unit composed of some basic geomorp hic types, such as extreme high mountains,high mountains, hills, plains, and tablelands of high altit ude or sub2high altit ude. Different opinions for t he exact scope of Tibetan Plateau exist. According to latest research achievement and t he long time fieldwork, questions related to t he area and boundary of the Plateau have been discussed in view of geography, and the principles taking geomorphic characters as the main rule and considering the integrity have been made to define the boundary. The geomorphological map was compiled based on aerial photographic map, topograp hic map and interpretation of satellite images. By refering to the relief map, the boundary of the Plateau was delineated. The posi2 tion of t he boundary was quantitatively determined wit h GIS and GPS. The map of elect ronic version of t he Tibetan Plateau was compiled. The main conclusion is t hat Tibetan Plateau start s from the southern edge of the Himalayan Range, abuts on India,Nepal and Bhutan,connects the northern edge of Kunlun, Altun and Qilian Mts1, and joins Tarim Basin and Hexi Corridor in Central Asia. The west of it is the Pamirs and Karakorum Mts., bordering on Kirghizistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kashmir. The east of it is Yulongxueshan, Daxueshan, Jiajinshan and Qionglaishan Mt s. as well as sout h or east piedmont of Minshan Mt s. Plateau joins the Qinling Mts. and Loess Plateau with its eastern and northeastern part. Tibetan betan Plateau in China s territory starts from the Pamirs in the west and reaches to Hengduan2 shan in the east. It bestrides a longitude of 31 degrees with a length of km from east to west,and bestrides a latitude of 13 degrees with a length of km from south to north. It ranges from N to N and from E to E, covering an area of km 2. Administratively, it embraces 201 counties (cities) in 6 provinces, namely, the Tibet Autonomous Region (73 counties/ cities, km 2, part of Cona, M dog and Zay ), the Qinghai Province (40 counties/ cities, km 2, some counties only partially), D qen Tibetan Autonomous Prefect ure in Nort hwest Yunnan Province(9 coun2 ties/ cities, km 2 ), West Sichuan Province ( 46 counties/ cities about km 2,such as Garze Autonomous Prefecture, Aba Tibetan and Qiangzu Autonomous Prefecture, and Muli Autonomous County, etc. ), Gansu Province (21 counties/ cities, km 2 ), and Southern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region ( about 12 counties/ cities, km 2 ).
