The secluded wonderland - Xin Cuo

Xin Cuo is a lake within Basong Cuo, which has been developed for many years and is known as the 'Eastern Switzerland'. Xin Cuo, known to few, requires about three hours of hiking. 'Xin' in Tibetan means 'wood, tree', hence Xin Cuo refers to a lake shaped like a fallen tree. It is also said that the name 'Xin Cuo' means 'newly discovered lake'. Following the winding path, with snow-capped mountains as companions, rivers flowing, flowers blooming in the cracks, cattle and sheep resting by the lake, one can glimpse the mysterious lake hidden in the forest. Best travel time: March to October each year
