Gochen
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Goyul.
A large plain is formed near Goyul, where three or more headwaters of Zang Chu meet. According to the British explorer Frank Kingdon Ward, four villages were formed in the plain, one of which is traditionally called Gochen (Tibetan: མགོ་ཆེན, Wylie: mgo chen; Chinese: 古井村; pinyin: Gǔjǐng cūn), which has effectively lent its name to the entire region. The Sangachu Dzong fort and monastery stand on an elevated shoulder of the plain, while the river itself flows in a deep trench.
