Tibetan name
Tibetanམཚོ་གཉིས་རྫོང་།

Shuanghu County (Chinese: 双湖县), also transliterated from TibetanasTsonyi County[3][4][5]orCo Nyi County[6][7] (Tibetan: མཚོ་གཉིས་རྫོང་།; Chinese: 错尼县), is a county under the jurisdiction of the prefecture-level cityofNagqu, in the northernmost part of the Tibet Autonomous Region, China. It was formed in 2012, combining the territory of the former Shuanghu Special District (Chinese: 双湖特别区, Tibetan: མཚོ་གཉིས་དམིགས་བསལ་སྲིད་འཛིན་ཁུལ་) with the eastern half of Nyima County. Much of the county is within the Changtang area.

Both Tibetan and Chinese name translates to "twin lake" or "two lakes", the two lakes referred to as Khangro Lake (khang ro tshwa kha) and Rêjo Lake (re co tshwa kha) respectively. Shuanghu County is at very high elevation, mostly above 5,000 meters above sea level, and very sparsely populated (averaging around 0.12 people per square kilometre, but concentrated in the southern portion of the county). The vast majority of its population practices nomadic pastoralism (mostly goats and sheep).[8] The climate is very rough, cold and dry. There is a weather station in Shuanghu, established in 1999,[9] which on average measures negative temperatures (Celsius scale) throughout the year. The highest temperature on record is +2.3 °C (July 2000), the lowest −62.4 °C (January 2006).

China's first on-the-spot book on the sparely populated Changtang area in northern Tibet was recently released in the high elevation county Co Nyi of Nagqu Prefecture, the Tibet's Daily reported. ... The story begins in 1976, 2053 herdsmen from Nagqu Prefecture drove some 160,000 flocks and herds into the then wildness and then set up two county level offices in Co Nyi County and Wombu County. Later, the Wombo County was renamed "Nyima"-the first county in the world in the name of the sun (Nyima means the sun in Tibetan language), and the Co Nyi County was upgraded as Co Nyi Special Zone by the state council.
