A glacial lake in the col below Mount Yangmaiyong: at approx. 4600 m, named for the ring of milky-white travertine around its waters; from Luorong Pasture it is about 10 km round trip on foot or by horse, and together with Five-Color Lake at 4700 m (its waters show two hues in sunlight) it forms the classic long trek of Yading, where the sense of ritual in the "pure land" reaches its peak. Altitude sickness and weather are the biggest variables, so set out before 10:00.
Getting there: Hike from Luorong Pasture
