"Heavenly Lake" Namsto

Any traveler visiting Tibet should not miss the touching beauty of Namtso Lake in Dangxiong County of the Lhasa City. In Tibetan, Namsto means "Heavenly Lake". The water here is a storybook crystal-clear blue. Clean sky joins the surface of the lake in the distance, creating an integrated, scenic vista. Natural wildlife -- animals, birds and fish -- is a summer attraction. The lake freezes in October and melts in May, producing thunderous sounds.

In Tibetan Buddhism, Namsto Lake is considered the head of the three holy lakes. Pilgrims believe that, in Tibetan year of the sheep, they could acquire infinite virtues and profound wisdom by circling the lake once and circling the Duoqiong Island for 12 times. Soul of every visitor visiting here could undoubtedly be cleansed by the pure lake water.
