South Tibet (Chinese: Zàngnán 藏南) refers to the valley formed by the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo (Brahmaputra) river in the south of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. It stretches 1200 kilometres from Mainling in the east to Saga (Tibetan: sa dga’ rdzong ས་དགའ་རྫོང་; Chinese: Sàgā Xiàn 萨嘎县) in the west, and some 300 kilometres from the Himalaya range in the south to the Gangdisê (Kangrinboqê) and Nyainqêntanglha massifs in the north. The bottom of the valley ascends from an altitude of 2800 metres in the east to 4500 metres in the west. The Gangdisê and Nyainqêntanglha mountain ranges (sometimes referred to as "Trans-Himalaya") separate South Tibet from North Tibet (Chinese: Zàngběi 藏北).

South Tibet comprises the administrative divisions Xigazê, Lhasa, Shannan and Nyingchi.

In the south-east, part of South Tibet is claimed by China but actually controlled by India. China views these areas as parts of the counties Mêdog and Zayü in Nyingchi, parts of Cona and the south of Lhünzê in Shannan. This is the area south of the McMahon Line, which is not recognised by China as an international border. The disputed territory roughly corresponds to what India refers to as Arunachal Pradesh.
