Located in Baxoi County of Qamdo City, Ra'og Co is the largest lake in the eastern part of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, covering about 22 square kilometers at an elevation of about 4,000 meters.

Meltwater from the Lhegu Glaciers feeds the dammed lake all year round. As global temperatures rise, the size of Ra'og Co is expanding every year.
