Sacred lake - Yamzhog Yumco lake before rain
As one of the three sacred lakes in Tibetan area, Yamzhog Yumco lake located in Nangarze County of Lhoka Prefecture. Nangarze County is a semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral area. And since animal husbandry overtakes agriculture, it is named "Yamzhog (meadowland on high mountains)". The Yamzhog Yumco Lake is blue and clear like a sapphire, hence its name of Yumco, meaning the turquoise lake.
At the best scenic spot, there is a rural team who offer yaks for tourists to take pictures at the cost of 10 yuan each time. A farmer can earn 100 yuan a day if his business is good.
As in the rainy season, farmers are not surprised to see rain coming down and drive their yaks back home.
