Tianwendian (Chinese: 天文点; pinyin: Tiānwén diǎn; lit. 'astronomical point') is the name of a border outpost and a military defence area of China in the northern Aksai Chin region under its administration (as part of Xinjiang).[3][4] The region is roughly equivalent to the portion of Depsang Plains under Chinese control. Its headquarters, the Tianwendian outpost, is in the Chip Chap River valley close to China's Line of Actual Control with India.
