Yamdrok Tso is located 20 miles east
of Gyantse, in the U region of Tibet. It is one of the four
holy lakes of Tibet, and legend has it that if the lake ever
disappears, it will mark the end of Tibet. The Turquoise Lake,
as it is known for its beautiful color, is a non-renewable
water source, and it serves as a habitat for many animals,
such as the rare Black-Necked Cranes.
