Who hasn't been to this little-known secret place in Western Sichuan

Many people who come to Western Sichuan for the first time may choose to visit some well-known popular attractions, today I recommend a little-known secret place~ It has recently frozen over, it's super beautiful! Xinluhai, also known as Yulong Lacuo, 'Yulong' in Tibetan means infatuation, 'Lacuo' means sacred lake. It is said that the queen of the protagonist of the epic King Gesar once came to this lake, attracted by the sanctity of the lake water, the beautiful mountains and the quiet environment, she lingered and was fascinated by the lake, and her heart of nostalgia sank to the bottom of the lake. People commemorate the queen's heart that sank into the lake, hence it is called 'Infatuated Sacred Lake'. Xinluhai is located at the foot of Queer Mountain in Dege County, Ganzi Prefecture, and is known as 'The Jade Pool of the Western Heaven' and 'One of the Two Tears in the World'. In early winter, the unfrozen water of Xinluhai is emerald green, like a huge 'green tear' that has fallen on the Western Sichuan Plateau, or like a bright emerald, dazzling. Xinluhai combines snow-capped mountains, lakes, forests, streams, strange stones, blue sky and white clouds. It is the most complete scenery I have ever seen, combining all the beautiful things of the Sichuan-Tibet line. Every season is beautiful.
