There are so many wonders to see in the land of China, but we think some of the most beautiful have to be the lakes, here are just a couple:
1. Yamdrok Lake (A Pearl from the sky) – was formed from the melted snow of the nearby mountains. It is said to be the female guardian of Buddhism in Tibet. Located 105km to the southwest of Lhasa. Yamdrok-Tso Lake is 130km long from east to west and 70km wide from north to south with a total perimeter of 250km and the surface area of 638 square km, average depth of 20-40 meters – it is the largest lake at the north foot of the Himalayas.
2. Lugu Lake (A pure lake) – The lake has an area of over 50 square km with a sea level of 2690m, the highest lake in Yunnan Province. It is located 260km north of Lijiang City, a border lake between Yunnan Province and Guizhou Province. You can tell its purity as visibility is said to be 11 meters depth – which is very rare.
