Actually this is the place where the 1962 Sino-Indian war was fought. Even today this is a high-security zone, albeit a bit less stressed since China and India have signed a treaty till 2007. Aksai Chin was once part of the ancient Ladakh kingdom. The largest water body in the mock-up is the Pangong Tso, as it is known in India. One-third of the lake falls in India and the rest is in China. Arguably said to be 120 kms long, it freezes over in the winters. One can also see Tso Moriri, Tso Kar and the twin lakes of Kyun Tso (Tso stands for lake in Ladakhi). These are pretty popular tourist destinations. The Hanle basin is also home to the highest astronomical observatory in the world, housing the Chandra telescope. This mock-up also covers the highest battlefield in the world, the Siachen glacier, since it falls approximately in this region. So in effect, there are 3 countries here - India, China and Pakistan (technically Pakistan Occupied Kashmir). Just returned from a month long biking vacation to these places Regards, Vinod.
