Ranwu Lake, also known as Rawok Lake, is located in Basu County, Chamdo City

Surrounded by numerous snow-capped mountains and glaciers, Ranwu Lake is flanked by the Gangrigabu Mountain to the southwest, the Azhagongla Glacier to the south, and the Boshula Range to the northeast. Beneath the solemn high mountains, Ranwu Lake stands 'peerless and independent'. Legend has it that there was no lake here originally, but a battle between two divine bulls took place. After their death, they transformed into two large mountains, and water accumulated in the mountain hollow, forming what is now Ranwu Lake. In reality, the formation of Ranwu Lake was due to nearby landslides and mudflows that blocked the river, creating this barrier lake. However, Ranwu Lake is not as one might imagine, an oval or nearly circular lake; it is elongated, easily mistaken for a river, about 20 kilometers long and 1-5 kilometers wide, with varying widths. When the ice and snow melt, the meltwater flows into the lake, keeping Ranwu Lake rippling all year round with abundant water sources. 'Water is the source of life', and Ranwu Lake nurtures many lives, such as the primeval forests by the lake, the villagers living along the lake, and their yaks... The lake reflects the snow-capped mountains, whose peaks are perennially snow-covered, pure and flawless, followed by lush shrubs and dense forests. In summer, brightly colored but unnamed beautiful flowers bloom, and between the lake and the jungle lies a rich grassland, where black yaks lazily pass by, and not far away, green crops grow in the fields. Surrounded by such scenery, even the clothes fluttering gently in the wind can make one feel a sense of leisure and comfort. No wonder it has the reputation of being the 'Jade Pool of the Western Paradise'. Ranwu Lake's seasons are colorful. As the seasons change, the surrounding vegetation also changes, giving Ranwu Lake different colors: sometimes it is snowy white and crystal clear, sometimes it is lush and verdant, sometimes it is rich and vibrant with blooming flowers, and sometimes it is misty with falling yellow leaves. But the main color of Ranwu Lake is probably that touch of blue, the water so clear and tranquil, the nearby Lagu Glacier so magnificent and mysterious. For friends who love to travel and are passionate about photography, do not miss Ranwu Lake. Whether in the early morning or evening, you can capture unique beauty. Moreover, Ranwu Lake is close to the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, making it a great place for tourists to travel, rest, enjoy the beautiful scenery, experience Tibetan customs, and taste Tibetan specialties.
