Cuoka Lake | A Hidden 'Shangri-La' on the Plateau

The sky is so blue, the clouds so low, every grass and tree, a temple, a lake, more mysterious than Daocheng Yading, in a trance, perhaps the reflection in the lake is the truest paradise. Cuoka Lake Located in Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, backed by snow-capped mountains, at an altitude of about 3900 meters, it is known as 'a fairyland on earth, the Jade Pool of the Ninth Heaven'. (Please keep quiet, do not feed the fish at random, protect the environment, everyone has a responsibility) Cuoka Temple Scattered temples nestled deep in the mountains by the side of Cuoka Lake, with yellow and red hues, enveloped by clouds and mist during the rainy season, even more mysterious, an unwillingly shared 'Shangri-La'. Costs 10 yuan for environmental protection fee, 20 yuan for parking fee. Transportation Self-driving/chartered car is recommended, as there are many bends in the road.
