The Rawu Lake surface is at an altitude of 3,850 m. The legend says that there is a water buffalo in the lake and a cattle on the shore of the lake, who fight with each other and have a trial of strength. They changed into two mountains after death, and Ranwu Lake came into being in the middle of the two mountains. The beautiful Ranwu Lake, which is surrounded by magnificent snow-capped peaks and forests, is enormous and amazing. It is a perfect blending of the Swiss Alps snow peaks and glaciers and the streams, consisting of two sections connected by a small stream, which is said to be Eastern Tibet's largest lake and attracts many tourists.There are small villages on both shores. The poetic scenery of the Ranwu Lake drives away people's fatigues. How amazing are those upright high peaks, white glacier, blue lake water, green grassland, floating white clouds, lush forest.
