Guxiang Lake
古乡湖
A glacial debris dam lake beside National Highway 318, where snowy peaks and forests reflect in the water. A classic roadside photo stop west of Bomi.
Guxiang Lake lies beside National Highway 318 near Guxiang, in Bomi County. It formed when glacial debris flowing down the Guxiang gully dammed a tributary of the Parlung Tsangpo. The open lake reflects snowy peaks and spruce forests, and mist often hangs over it at dawn. Wild peach blossoms appear along the shore in spring, and the autumn foliage is at its finest. Viewing from the roadside is free, and a half-hour stop is enough. It is about 30 km from the Bomi county seat and can be combined in one day with the Gangyun Spruce Forest and the Galang Wetland. The coordinates are estimated, referring to the lake area west of Guxiang town.
