Tsoka Lake is located in Mari Township, Xinlong County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, 32 kilometers away from the county seat. Cuoka Lake is locally called Cuoka Haizi, also known as Dotso Nama. In Tibetan, it means black seawater among rocks. It is a freshwater lake with an area of about 3 square kilometers, meaning "emerald".
Tsoka Lake is not very big, but the color of the lake is varied. No one knows how many colors it has. A cloud floats in the sky, or a horse walks on the ground, and they will all be embraced by Lake Tsoka. For a moment, you may even mistakenly think that it fills the whole world. The beauty of Tsoka Lake is reflected in the real and illusory water.
There is a legend about Tsoka Lake. A long time ago, this place was extremely short of water. Many people who lived here had to bid farewell to their homeland with tears, and left their homes to settle in other places. During the process, they suffered a lot. Seeing that the people here are living in a difficult situation, the God of Heaven sent two Hercules to carry water here to help alleviate the water shortage. When two Hercules came to the mountainside with water on their backs, one of them was so tired that he put down his leather bag and prepared to put the water here, and the other quickly said "Ma Ri" (meaning "no" in Tibetan). , The two continued to walk up the mountain, and when they reached the top of the mountain, they found that the surrounding terrain was open and flat, with no obstacles in the front, back, left, and right sides, so they decided to put the water on a flat land near the top of the mountain. The freshwater lake is also named "Mari" for this reason.
Since then, the "Mari" lake has nurtured all living beings in a ditch in Mari Township. Despite the vicissitudes of time, the lake water is still as clear and translucent as when the gods released the water, without any decrease. In 1358, Puba Dengzi, a descendant of Tibetan Buddhism, built a Kagyu temple by the lake and named it Cuoka Temple (Cuo is the lake, and Ka is the edge, meaning the lakeside temple). This lake is - Zuoka Lake.
The whirling tree shadows by the lake hold long shadows, like a girl who is dressing up, facing the rising sun. There are no birds, no boats, and no debris on the lake. It is very quiet and clean. The lake is too green and too bright. I want to see it clearly, but it blinks its eyes in the sun, dark green for a while, light green for a while, bright green for a while, the near and far, the sky and the earth, the mountain and the lake are all in one, Dreamlike.
