Yamdrok Yumco Lake, which in Tibetan means a "jade lake" on high pasture, is the largest inland lake on the northern slopes of the Himalayas, with an elevation of over 4440 meters above sea level. As spring arrives, the crystal-clear waters mirror the blue sky, white clouds, and surrounding mountains, while flocks of waterbirds dance in the breeze, forming a magnificent ecological picture.
