Delingha (Chinese: 德令哈; Tibetan: གཏེར་ལིན་ཁ།), or Delhi (Mongolian: ᠳᠡᠯᠡᠬᠡᠢ ᠬᠣᠲᠠ), is the seat of the Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in northern Qinghai province, China. It is located approximately 200 km (120 mi) southeast of the Da Qaidam Administrative Region. It is a mainly industrial county-level city. The Bayin River divides the city into two parts: Hedong and Hexi [zh]. Because the prefecture seat is located in Hedong, it is slightly more flourishing than Hexi, which is chiefly agricultural.[1]
