Niu New Area or Liuwu New Area (Chinese: 柳梧新区; pinyin: Liǔwú Xīnqū), or Niu Township, is a subdivision of Doilungdêqên County of Lhasa, Tibet in Western China. The Niu New Area is located southwest of downtown Chengguan, the old center of Lhasa.
The Liuwu Bridge links central Lhasa to Lhasa Railway Station and the Niu New Area on the south bank of the Lhasa River. Residents in the Ne'u area were resettled to make way for the new development.[1] The 42 square kilometres (16 sq mi) "Liuwu New District" includes new residential buildings in traditional Tibetan style. The villagers, numbering almost 1,700, were moved into these buildings. The effect of the railway, bridge and Liuwu New District development has been urbanization and development of new enterprises such as transport, retail outlets and restaurants.[2]
