Live: Tangra Yumco, a sapphire mirror embraced by snow-capped mountains
Tangra Yumco is one of only five sacred "Yumco" lakes in China's Xizang. Locally, "Yum" symbolizes the turquoise blue hue and "Co" means lake. With a depth of 230 meters, Tangra Yumco ranks as China's second-deepest lake. Nestled among snow-capped peaks towering over 6,000 meters, it epitomizes the classic "Holy Mountain–Sacred Lake" landscape. Its shores are dotted with the ruins of the ancient Zhangzhung Kingdom and temples adorned with millennia-old murals. On the 75th anniversary of Xizang's peaceful liberation, join CGTN's livestream to witness how this sacred turquoise embodies the harmony between tradition and modernity, nature and culture.
