Cuomujiri Lake

Cuomujiri Lake (Chinese: 措木及日湖, 错木及日, Tibetan: མཚོ་མོ་སྐྱིད་རི་མཚོ, Tso Mo Kyi Ri Tso), is situated near Bayi Town, Nyingchi, Tibet Autonomous Region.

Fed by meltwater from the Nyenchen Tanglha Range, it features turquoise waters framed by vertical vegetation zones: rhododendron thickets (3,200–3,600m), fir forests (3,600–4,200m), and permanent snowlines above 4,500m.

[1] Ecologically, it sustains endemic species like the Tibetan snowfinch and Himalayan musk deer, while serving as a critical stopover for migratory black-necked cranes (November–March).

[2][3] Local Monpa people revere it as "Guanyin’s Tear," hosting annual horse racing festivals during the Saga Dawa lunar month.

[4] Designated a National Water Conservancy Scenic Area in 2005, its access is regulated to preserve 1,500-year-old ice cores and sacred sites like Tangdi Village.
