Bawang Lake is a small natural reservoir on the river of Tianwan river south to Minya Konka. It is hidden between high mountains with an altitude of 3200 meters (one of the lowest "highland lakes" in eastern Tibet).
A variaty of plants including Tibetan magnolia, Sichuan redwood, tetracentron and katsura trees can be found around this pond. During dry season, its silt come out of water with trunks standing in the middle of it. But during monsoon season, the view there is quite nice. It is always misty all year round. The meadow right beside the lake is a good spot for photographers. No dwellers currently but usually some Chinese backpackers can be found along this route.
