Ranwu Lake in Tibet presents magnificent scenery

Ranwu Lake in Tibet presents magnificent scenery. It is located in the southwest corner of Baxoi County, Chamdo City, along National Highway 318 within Baxoi. It is the main source of the Palongzangbu River, a tributary of the Yarlung Tsangpo River. The lake is about 25 kilometers long, consisting of three interconnected upper and lower lakes, situated at an altitude of over 3,800 meters. The scenery here is enchanting, with emerald green waters and towering snow-capped mountains magnificently set against the blue sky and white clouds. The Nagu Glacier extends to the lakeside in the north, with meltwater flowing into the lake, providing abundant water sources. The lakeside meadows are lush green, adorned with bright wolfbane flowers. The lake’s color changes with the seasons, dotted with rocky islets. In spring and summer, the trees cast dancing shadows, while in autumn and winter, a thin mist lingers. Come check in and experience this picturesque beauty all year round!
