Laangcuo and Mapangyongcuo are juxtaposed from east to west, and are called "ghost lakes". But its reputation cannot be compared with the "holy lake" Manasarovar. The area of Laang Co is small, slightly smaller than Mapang Yum Co. In 1906, a Swedish geographer tried to measure the depth of Laang Co after measuring the water depth of Manasarovar, but failed only after measuring the northern end of the lake. Its depth is still a mystery.

Due to the climate change over the years, the water of Laangcuo Lake can no longer flow out, and it has been closed into an inland lake. In the past hundred years, the supply of water from Manasarovar through Anjia Waterway has been intermittent, and its own water area is much smaller than that of Manasarovar. Laangco is experiencing lake shrinkage, lake water level drop, lake water mine Although it is in the process of increasing the degree of intensification, it is still a large lake with a magnificent landscape.

There is still a river between the ghost lake and the holy lake. There is a small island in the ghost lake. It is said that there is a small temple on the island. Every winter, the lake is frozen and the lamas in the temple have contact with the outside world. Ghost Lake, like Holy Lake, is a paradise for birds.
