Golmud is a county-level city in the Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province, China. It is now the second-largest city in Qinghai and the third largest on the Tibetan Plateau (after Xining and Lhasa). The population in 2020 was 221,863.
==Name== Golmud is a romanization of Oirat Голмуд, meaning "rivers". ''Ge'ermu'' is the pinyin romanization of the Mandarin pronunciation of the same name's transcription into Chinese characters; it is sometimes spelled Geermu. Ko-erh-mu was the same name romanized using the Wade–Giles system; Golmot was the romanization used by the Chinese Postal Map. The Wylie romanization of the Tibetan form of the name is Nagormo.
