Yamdrok Lake
Yamdrok Lake is a stunning freshwater lake located in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. It is one of the largest lakes in Tibet, covering an area of approximately 638 square kilometers. The lake is known for its striking turquoise color, which changes shades throughout the day due to the reflection of sunlight.
