Dochen Tso
多庆错
A highland lake at the foot of Chomo Lhari, where the snowy peak is reflected in the water. It is a classic viewpoint on the Gyantse–Yadong road.
Dochen Tso lies in northern Yadong County on a highland plateau at about 4,500 meters. Looking south, you see the snow mountain Chomo Lhari, which is reflected in the lake on clear days. Yaks, black-necked cranes and other waterbirds often gather along the shore. You can stop at the lakeside road to enjoy the view, and a stay of 30–60 minutes is recommended. The altitude is high and the wind strong, so protect yourself from the sun and stay warm. The lake lies within a nature protection zone, so do not enter the lake and do not litter.
