History of Bomi

Bomi, Called Bowo in the ancient time, is the home to the royal family - the tribe of Niecizanpu of the Tubo Dynasty before 1928. It occupies a strategically significant position in Tibetan history, serving as a strong defense barrier against foreign invasion. The Tibetan governments of different ages all attached great importance to Bomi, allowing the crown of the local king of Bomi -Galangjiebu to be passed generation after generation. Therefore the history of Bomi is a thousand years old history of Tibetan tribes. In 1928 the Changdu of the local government unified Bomi by force with 3,000 soldiers and military lamas. In December 1950 the Division No. 50 of the People’s Liberation Army liberated this area peacefully. In August 1951 Mr. Miao Piyi was sent here by the central government to set up the garrison headquarters and the 2nd Office for the Liberation Committee. In October 1959 the local autonomous government was established.
