History
The new subdistrict completely absorbed the ancient village of Drakchi, which used to stand on this site. The Bayi Zanchen bridge crosses the Nyang-chu or Nyang River here.[3]
Following the tranquil liberation of Tibet in 1951, the People's Liberation Army commenced the construction of roads and bridges, establishing cities in the region. Consequently, people from the surrounding areas gradually relocated, and "Lhabagar" evolved into a significant transportation center in Tibet.[4] To honor the contributions of the PLA, the residents of Linzhi transformed this location into Bayi New Village, which subsequently evolved into Bayi Town ("Bayi" signifies the anniversary of the establishment of the People's Liberation Army).[5]
There are 9 villages under the jurisdiction of the subdistrict, with a total population of 21,400, from the Han, Hui, Mongolian, Xibe, Manchu ethnicities.
