Kyebxang Lake

Kyebxang Lake lies on the high Changtang plateau south of the Tanggula Mountains. Its Tibetan name is also rendered Kyéshang Tso, and the lake is known in Chinese as Qixiang Co. It belongs to a region of extensive inland lakes, where mountain streams flow into closed basins rather than reaching the sea. The high elevation and cold climate give this lake country a stark character.
