There are 1,500 lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau scattering around the snowy mountains like pearls at the altitude of 4,100 to 4,900 meters. They cover an area of 241.83 square kilometers, accounting for one third of the total areas of lakes in China.
Among them, the Namtso Lake, the Lake Manasarovar and the Yamdroktso Lake are the three holy lakes in Tibet. Lake, or tso in Tibetan language means sea.
