“Xin” means “wood, tree” in Tibetan, and Xincuo refers to a lake in the shape of a fallen tree. Some people say that the reason why it is called “Xincuo” means “newly discovered lake”. There are very few people who know about Xincuo, and it takes more than two hours to reach it, which also blocks a considerable number of tourist enthusiasts. Anyone who knows it will say: the beauty of Xincuo is too worth hiking and camping. Moreover, if the roads in this world are all flat roads, you will never experience the sweetness and comfort of hiking.
