G’yu-mtsho|z=Yamzhog Yumco}}; {{zh|c=羊卓雍錯|p=Yángzhuō Yōngcuò}}) is a freshwater lake in Tibet, it is one of the three largest sacred lakes in Tibet. It is over {{convert|72|km|mi|abbr=on}} long. The lake is surrounded by many snow-capped mountains and is fed by numerous small streams. The lake has an outlet stream at its far western end and means turquoise in English due to its color.[2] Around 90 km to the west of the lake lies the Tibetan town of Gyantse and Lhasa is a hundred km to the northeast. According to local mythology, Yamdok Yumtso lake is the transformation of a goddess. The Yamdrok Hydropower Station was completed and dedicated in 1996 near the small village of Baidi at the lake’s western end. This power station is the largest in Tibet.[3] Physical dataThe lake (638 km² in area, 30 meters average depth and 60 meters at its deepest) is fan-shaped, spreading to the south but narrowing up to the north. The mountainous lakeshore is highly crenellated, with numerous bays and inlets. Lake Yamdrok freezes in winter. ClimateYamdrok Lake has a cold steppe climate (BSk) with long, cold, very dry winters and short, cool, wet summers. It is also bordering on an alpine tundra climate (ET) and on a subarctic climate (Dwc). The differences between day and night are great. {{Weather box|width=auto|metric first=y |single line=y |collapsed = Y |location = Yamdrok Lake |Jan high C = 1.9 |Feb high C = 3.4 |Mar high C = 5.8 |Apr high C = 9.5 |May high C = 13.1 |Jun high C = 16.6 |Jul high C = 16.1 |Aug high C = 15.2 |Sep high C = 13.9 |Oct high C = 10.2 |Nov high C = 6.1 |Dec high C = 3.3 |Jan mean C = -7.4 |Feb mean C = -5.2 |Mar mean C = -2.0 |Apr mean C = 2.1 |May mean C = 6.2 |Jun mean C = 10.3 |Jul mean C = 10.6 |Aug mean C = 9.8 |Sep mean C = 8.1 |Oct mean C = 2.8 |Nov mean C = -2.6 |Dec mean C = -6.0 |year mean C = |Jan low C = -16.7 |Feb low C = -13.8 |Mar low C = -9.8 |Apr low C = -5.2 |May low C = -0.7 |Jun low C = 4.0 |Jul low C = 5.1 |Aug low C = 4.5 |Sep low C = 2.3 |Oct low C = -4.6 |Nov low C = -11.3 |Dec low C = -15.3 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 0 |Feb precipitation mm = 0 |Mar precipitation mm = 2 |Apr precipitation mm = 4 |May precipitation mm = 12 |Jun precipitation mm = 39 |Jul precipitation mm = 82 |Aug precipitation mm = 83 |Sep precipitation mm = 37 |Oct precipitation mm = 7 |Nov precipitation mm = 1 |Dec precipitation mm = 0 |source 1 = [https://en.climate-data.org/location/1062198/ Climate-Data.org] }} Cultural significanceLike mountains, lakes are considered sacred by Tibetan people, the principle being that they are the dwelling places of protective deities and therefore invested with special spiritual powers. Yamdrok Lake is one of four particularly holy lakes, thought to be divinatory; everyone from the Dalai Lama to local villagers makes pilgrimages there. It is considered sacred as one of the four "Great Wrathful Lakes" guarded by the goddess Dorje Gegkyi Tso.[3] The others such lakes are Lhamo La-tso, Namtso and Manasarovar. The lake is revered as a talisman and is said to be part of the life-spirit of Tibet. The largest lake in southern Tibet, it is said that if its waters dry, Tibet will no longer be habitable. The lake, its islands, and the surrounding area are closely associated with Padmasambhava, the Second Buddha, who brought Buddhism to Tibet in 8th century AD.[3] The lake is home to the famous Samding Monastery which is on a peninsula jutting into the lake. This monastery is the only Tibetan monastery to be headed by a female re-incarnation. Since it is not a nunnery, its female abbot heads a community of about thirty monks and nuns. Samding Monastery is where Samding Dorje Phagmo, the most important female incarnate Lama in Tibet, stayed and presided, and stands to the south of Lake Yamdrok Yumtso.[4] Today, both pilgrims and tourists can be seen walking along the lake's perimeter. One of the lake's islands contains an old fort or castle called Pede Dzong. Economic significanceThere are shoals of fish living in Yamdrok Lake, which are commercially exploited by local population. From April to October, fish caught from this lake are sold at markets in Lhasa, Tibet's capital. Additionally, the lake's islands serve as rich pasture land to local herdsmen.
