The Dagjia Fountain group is located in Qiere Township, Angren County, Xigaze, Xizang, surrounded by continuous snow-capped mountains, with an altitude of 5084 meters. It is the world's highest-altitude geyser and the largest geyser group in China. This fountain group belongs to the globally rare non-volcanic high-temperature geyser, whose formation is related to the recent uplift of the Himalayas. It is not a single spring, but a community of dozens of springs densely distributed on both sides of the river valley.
