In south Tibet's Nyingchi Prefecture, Basomtso's beauty inspires the imagination of anyone who comes here. The flowers in spring, green trees in summer, golden fruits in autumn and white snow in winter all make it a wonderland for human beings.

Basomtso, also called Cuogao Lake, is a fantastic lake that hides among the mountains and valleys. It looks especially amazing in spring as flowers and snow mountains can be seen at the same place.

Like a shy girl, Basomtso lies inside the snow mountains and forest, just as the verse going "there are countless gorgeous places in the world, but only Basomtso never releases her true face."

Birds like the yellow ducks and white cranes flock here for fish in the lake. White snow mountains, pink flowers, butterflies on the bank and wild animals in the woods make it a real paradise for all creatures.
