Dazong Lake is located about 17km northeast of Xiahe County. It is revered by the local people as the “Holy Lake”. Every June, pilgrims from all over the country come in an endless stream to visit the lake and make pilgrimages to insert arrows. There is an open area near the lake, where Tibetan people have built Mani piles and sword-inserting platforms for religious activities, and there are prayer flags all around. The altitude of Dazong Lake is about 3100m. The left bank of the lake is relatively gentle and the road is relatively smooth. But when you turn to the right side of the lake, the mountain gradually becomes steeper and the road becomes a faint trail with thick bushes and crisscrossing branches. You can see a cement-repaired platform where pilgrims place their offerings to the holy lake. There are densely packed long round cloth bags floating in the lake, and most of the sacrifices inside are highland barley.
