A beautiful clear-water lake surrounded by mountains, with a monastery on a small island in the middle: Draksum-tso looks like a fairy tale.
When we finally arrived, the driver told us that we had ... 40 minutes. What I thought was our final destination and the place we would stay overnight, was apparently just a stopover on our way to somewhere else, and even worse, somewhere we had to rush through. I did not take the time to be disappointed and tried to see this beautiful place as well as I could. The 6,000m+ mountains around were reflected in the jade colours of the lake, and especially close to the small island on which the 14th century monastery is located, the water was totally calm. The serenity of the place and the sheer beauty of the nature surrounding the lake seemed totally contradictory to the haste with which we were supposed to "visit" the monastery. To make things worse, within a few minutes several busloads of Chinese tourists arrived and stormed the small island of Tsozong monastery.
