Lenggacuo is one of the highest alpine lakes very close to Mount Gongga, 23 kilometers away and 4,550 meters above sea level. Its most notable feature is its mirror-like reflection of Mount Gongga in the early mornings, when the weather is clear. Located southwest of Mount Gongga, Lenggacuo offers excellent vantage points for photographing the sunset and starry sky above Mount Gongga.
