'''Jiagang Cun''' ({{zh|s=甲岗村|p=Jiǎ gǎng cūn}}), i.e., "Jaggang Village", includes a wider area in the Maga Zangbo valley with numerous settlements. Between 2014–2018, a "demonstration village" was constructed at the former campsite called Jibajiawu, upstream on Maga Zangbo 15 km west of Chakgang, which was also described as being part of Jiagang Cun. The development received significant publicity.<ref name="Xinhuanet"/><ref name="tibet.cn"/><ref name="tb.tibet.cn"/><ref name="sohu.com"/>
Jiagang Cun is said to have a high proportion of communist party members (106 out of a population of 1000).<ref>

The Maga Zangbo (or Tsangpo) river is formed from the streams on the southern slopes of the mountains south of Rutog. It flows in a wide arc, eventually tending towards north and drains into the [[Pangong Lake]] at its eastern end. Churkang and Chakgang are at the location where the river starts flowing north, and several streams from the south and east join it. The land is fertile and barley has been traditionally cultivated in the area.<ref name=Hedin>

At present, under Chinese administration, a village has been incorporated under the name "Jiagang Cun", which appears to include several settlements other than Chakgang. At a location called Jibajiawu (or Gie Bajiawu), 15 km west of Chakgang, a model village has been constructed between 2014–2018, which is described as part of Jiagang Cun.<ref name="Xinhuanet">
