Luqiao

China

Luqiao is a town in the Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province, China. It forms the urban centre of Luding County, serving as the seat of the county's administrative and commercial life.

The town sits along the Dadu River, at the edge of the Daxue Mountains. Its population is concentrated along the river, reflecting the settlement's close relationship with the valley corridor rather than the surrounding high terrain.

Luqiao's location in the Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture places it within a predominantly Tibetan cultural region of western Sichuan, while its role as Luding County's urban centre makes it the principal town of the surrounding county area.
