Tibet's first national 5A-level natural scenic tourist attraction

Tibet's first national 5A-level natural scenic tourist attraction Basum Tso, also known as Cuogao Lake, means 'green water' in Tibetan, is about 18 kilometers long, with an area of approximately 27 square kilometers, and the deepest point reaches 120 meters, with the lake surface at an altitude of 3480 meters. Three wonders of the Basum Tso island. Peach embracing pine: A pine tree grows within a peach tree, the two trees coexist in harmony, with a history of over 600 years, regarded as the 'longevity tree'. Hada sinking to the bottom: When a white Hada is thrown into the lake, it slowly sinks to the bottom, symbolizing the fulfillment of prayers and wishes. Thousand-year-old Cyclobalanopsis tree: Located on the right side of the island, with an age of over 1300 years, it is said to reveal the twelve zodiac animals.
