(ECNS) -- The World Record Certification Agency (WRCA) has simultaneously recognized the “three-colored lakes” and an ice cave in Banbar County, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region as one of the world's highest lakes and the world's largest double-layered ice cave on Thursday.
It is the first time that two unique natural wonders have been awarded for two world's records at once, further driving the popularity of tourism in Banbar County.
Located in the east of Qamdo City, the county boasts magnificent landscapes and profound culture and history.
As a landmark natural landscape, the "three-colored lakes" are comprised of three hill-separated ponds that display black, white and yellow colors due to their varying depths and sediments.
Covering 150,000 square meters, the three lakes stand at an altitude of over 4,100 meters with a water storage capacity of 2.8 million square meters.
The newly discovered large double-layered ice cave has also added tourism attractions to the county. It measures 300 meters long. The cave's entrance at the upper layer is roughly 12 meters tall and 8 meters wide, and the entrance at the lower layer is roughly 30 meters tall and 9meters wide. The interior of the ice cave forms an upward spiral.
Banbar County also has some other natural resources and cultural landscape such as sea buckthorn, glacial lake, and Epic of King Gesar tradition.
