Yamdrok Lake, a blue jewel that mountains hold

In May, Yamdrok Lake, blue and serene, exudes a gentle softness. Just over two hours by car from Lhasa, you will find this vast lake in Shannan City, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region.

Yamdrok, a Tibetan language name meaning "green jade-colored lake," sits at more than 4,000 meters above sea level. Below Shannan's blue sky and white clouds, Yamdrok Lake lies like a precious jewel embedded amid the mountains, forming a truly enchanting spectacle.
