1⃣ Cuopugou, why are you so beautiful!
As soon as I entered the scenic spot, I was shocked by the scenery in front of me. The lake is crystal clear and the snow-capped mountains are reflected in it, as if the whole world has stopped. The beauty here is not something that can be seen through at a glance, but requires you to discover and feel it slowly.

2⃣ Hiking around the lake, every step is a surprise
We chose to hike around the lake. Along the way, from Zhima Yongcuo to Cuopu Lake, there were different scenery at every turn. The color of the lake changes with the change of light, like a huge sapphire turning in the hand, emitting a charming light.

3⃣ Cuopu Temple, sacred in tranquility
Deep in the Cuopu Valley, there is an ancient temple - Cuopu Temple. It sits quietly by the lake, with the sacred mountain at its back and facing the holy lake. Here, you can feel a kind of tranquility and sanctity that transcends the world.

4⃣ Rekeng Hot Spring, a gift from nature
If you are tired from hiking, you might as well try the hot pit hot springs in Cuopu Valley. The hot spring water here has a moderate temperature. Soaking in it will make the fatigue of the day disappear instantly. Moreover, the eggs cooked in the hot spring water here also have a unique flavor!

5⃣ Bonfire party under the stars
As night fell, we lit a bonfire by the lake. Under the starry sky, with firelight dancing, we sat together and shared each other's stories. On a night like this, one can't help but want time to freeze.
