Zhuo Ma CuO

The Pearl Sea (Tibetan: Zhuo Ma Cuo) is like "the emerald at the foot of the snowy mountain". That kind of fresh beauty, that kind of green beauty like spring water, is unimaginable unless you see it with your own eyes. In fact, it is a small plateau lake with beautiful shade reflected on it. There are two kinds of twins in the snowy mountain in my arms, each with its own customs. I only feel that the distance is green, and when I get closer, I feel clear as an illusion. Sitting on the plank road by the lake for a long time, the burning sun is still at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and the snow on the top of the mountain is still white in the sun. The moment without language will last forever.
