Manigango (Chinese: 马尼干戈; pinyin: Mǎnígāngē) is a small township in Dege County, Garze Prefecture, Sichuan, China. The town is located on the Tro Chu (Chinese: 朝曲; pinyin: Zhāo Qū) river on the east side of the Chola Mountains.[2] The area is part of the historical region of Kham in Tibet. Today, Manigango is mainly known for Yihun Lhatso, a glacial lake 10km south of the town. The town is connected via China National Highway 317 with Derge to the west and Ganzi to the east.
