A major center for Buddhist learning in Tibet in the 9th century, and from where Buddhism was revived in Tibet. Despite its majesty, it is a relatively unknown site, and the difficulty in reaching it (8 hours along horrendous roads, but with mesmirising views) helps keep the tourists down. The few monastries, kept intact and well maintained by the Tibetans in charge, and the wonderfully vivid and bright Buddhist art particular to this region and found covering the walls of the monastries is well worth the effort needed to get here.

Lake Tangra Yumco is considered as a holy lake in Bon Religion followers. Lake Tangra Yumco lies in the deep lake basin bottom, next to Tangra Qonco. Actually, they are in the same lake basin. It is said that they were the same lake long time ago. That is how the name, Tangra Qonco comes. In Tibetan, Tangra Qonco means little Tangra Yumco. It is said that water of the lake may change into three different colors a day. In the west bank, there stand continuous dark red cliffs, just like a row of screen. These cliffs clearly recorded every water decline in Lake Tangra Yumco. Stone steps eroded by the lake water surround the lake round in round from the top mountain at the lakeshore to the lakefront. Go ahead from Lake Tangra Qonco, after about 5 kilometers, and you’ll see the most famous holy lake in the north Tibet: Lake Tangra Yumco.
