Xizang's unique yaks wander by Yamzhog Yumco Lake. This tranquil lake sits on the plateau, mirroring the sky. Nourished by the lake's waters, crops such as highland barley and rapeseed grow along the shores. Irrigation systems nurture the fields, and yaks dot the landscape. The lake, the people, and the farms on the plateau combine to create a rural landscape where nature and labor intertwine.
