Lhinze-terraces

 

Lake Terraces?  View of western margin of Nyang Valley, near Lhinze, showing terrace-like features. These are mostly due to incision into fine grained sediments deposited along the edges of the deep-water lakes which filled the valley at several times during the past 15,000 years.
