Yamdrok Tso at Sunset in China's Tibet
Situated 100 kilometers southwest of Lhasa at an elevation of 4,441 meters, Yamdrok Tso (the Yamdrok Lake) is one of the three most sacred lakes in Tibet.
Legend has it that complete evaporation of the lake would mark the end of Tibet.
According to legend, the lake was formed when a fairy descended to Earth. Her husband followed suit and transformed himself into Mt Kampala.
Befitting its mythical feminine origins, the turquoise lake has a breathtaking scenic beauty, prompting the Tibetans to compare it to the fairyland in heaven.
The lake is also called Coral Lake of the Highlands.
