Lake Pumoyum Co, a place of breathtaking beauty

By mid-March, the blue ice on the picturesque Lake Pumoyum Co is melting rapidly in Shannan, southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region. The waters on the shores of Lake Pumoyum Co are as clear as a mirror, reflecting the deep blue sky and surrounding snow-capped mountains. Every winter, the lake freezes over and the ice becomes crystal clear. As the sunlight pours in, and the ice emits a captivating blue light, like a sapphire carefully carved by nature.
