Why the name the 'Lake of No Return'? 

'Lake of No Return' or the Nawang Yang Lake is named that way because of a lot of legends and stories attached to it. One theory says that during World War II, Allied forces used the lake for emergency landings, and as a result, many aircraft and crew members died in the lake.

There is also local folklore attached to the lake. The tale has been passed down to many generations - There was once a villager who caught a big fish and invited the whole village for a feast except for an old woman and her granddaughter. The guardian of the lake got so angry with this that they warned the woman and her granddaughter to run away from the village. The next day, the entire village was immersed in the lake.
