The Secret Land of Western Sichuan: Cuoka Lake, a Fairyland on Earth

🍁 From Yaqing Temple to Litang, you will pass by Cuoka Lake, the "Lost Horizon." The road is uphill, with steep slopes and sharp turns. After 140 sharp turns, you will be amazed by the golden roof of Cuoka Temple shining in the sun. At an altitude of 3,800 meters, the temple is surrounded by mountains, and in front of it is the clear and green Cuoka Lake. The lake and the temple together create a fairyland on earth. 🍁 Cuoka Temple is built on a mountain and is a Tibetan Buddhist temple with a history of hundreds of years. Padmasambhava once blessed Cuoka Temple. The temple is composed of a group of large and small temples, which look solemn and mysterious. 🍁 Although Cuoka Lake is not very large, the water is crystal clear. With the temple, blue sky, white clouds, green mountains, and tall trees as a backdrop, the lake becomes even more beautiful and charming. 🍁 When you see Cuoka Lake, you will be so excited that you want to scream, but in the end, you will just stand quietly by the lake, unwilling to break the peace and beauty.
