Yamdrok Yumtso
Yamdrok Yumtso means "swan pool" in Tibetan and is also called Yamdrok Yumtso Lake, locally referred to as "Yang Lake" for short. Along with Namtso and Mapam Yumtso, it is known as one of the three holy lakes of Xizang. Located on the south bank of the Yarlung Zangbo River in Nagarze County, Shannan City, the lake surface sits at an elevation of approx. 4400 m, making it a relatively large inland lake on the northern foothills of the Himalayas. Yamdrok Yumtso has numerous branching inlets and winding tributaries, resembling coral branches spreading among the mountains when viewed from above, hence its Tibetan name "upper coral lake." The lake water displays alternating layers of blue and green under different lighting conditions. The lake is dotted with over a dozen small islands and is home to plateau fish species such as the fine-scaled fish, Xizang schizothoracin, and plateau naked carp. It is also an important waterbird habitat in southern Xizang, where migratory birds like swans, bar-headed geese, yellow ducks, and ospreys gather in flocks along the lakeshore and on the central islands to overwinter each winter. Yamdrok Yumtso is more impressive when viewed from afar than up close. After crossing the Gambala Pass at an altitude of about 5,000 meters, the view suddenly opens up, and the winding lake surface can be seen like a ribbon below—a classic angle to admire Yamdrok Yumtso. Descending the winding mountain road for about half an hour leads to the lakeshore, with multiple viewing platforms along the way for stopping to take photos and appreciate the changing colors of the lake and the interplay of mountains and water from different heights.China · Nagarze County

The warm Indian Ocean current and the cold plateau current meet in the Himalayas, forming the famous five ravines. Chentanggou, located on the border between China and Nepal, is one of them. It has abundant rainfall and lush original vegetation. It is a village where the Sherpa people have lived for generations. There is a magical landscape like "one mountain has four seasons, and ten miles have different weather". The turbid and roaring Penqu River and the clear Karma Zangbo merge here and flow to the Arun River in Nepal. The Sherpas, who are said to be descendants of the Xixia people, live on both sides of the Himalayas on the border between China and Nepal. They are Mount Everest climbing guides and are known as the "porters of the Himalayas."

The experience was excellent. It's so convenient for tourists who don't drive to get to Yamdrok Lake. The driver was also very nice and made sure to stop at each viewpoint for a good amount of time so that tourists could enjoy the view and take photos. Thumbs up!

The scenery was stunning; we were lucky with the weather and managed to capture the golden sunrise over the mountains and the Milky Way. However, aside from taking photos, the long drive was exhausting, so be aware of altitude sickness and the need for wind protection and warmth. Other services were limited, and there wasn't much to do, making it less convenient. Overall, it's worth a visit!
