Narrative

A elongated lake lies in the valley between Changbai Shan and Jinggang Shan.When the northern icecap melts and flows into the valley, the water is stopped by the north upland and becomes the lake. The northwest bank of the lake is covered with snow all year round while the east bank is made up of uncovered rocks. It was named when surveying and mapping in 1990.
