What to watch

Every Dragon Year of the Tibetan calendar, thousands of believers will come to Cuona Lake in all directions to worship. The tradition of offering sacrifices to the "holy lake" can be traced back to the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains.

In summer, the green water in Cuona lake is clear and the fish are jumping; in the distance, zhuoge Shenfeng is in a faint posture, and the mountains and rivers are in harmony. It is one of the most famous scenic spots along the andoh and Qinghai Tibet railway.
