The shining pearl of the Pamir Plateau - Baisha Lake.

Departing from Kashgar, heading southwest along National Highway 314, the continuous Gobi, barren mountains, and snow ridges outside the car window seem to be a desolate picture scroll outlined by nature with a brush. However, when I thought that the scenery along the way would be so monotonous, Baisha Lake, like an unexpected surprise, suddenly broke into my sight. Baisha Lake is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and the lakeside is a silver-white sand mountain, with a quiet and mysterious scenery. Looking from a distance, the azure lake water shimmers under the sunlight, as if it is a huge sapphire inlaid between the white sand mountains. The sand mountains are undulating and white as snow, contrasting with the azure lake water, forming a beautiful landscape painting. Strategy: Departing from Kashgar, drive along National Highway 314 for about 2-3 hours to reach Baisha Lake, and you can enjoy the magnificent plateau scenery along the way. Stay in a hotel or homestay near Baisha Lake, rest for a while, and then you can go for a walk by the lake and enjoy the lake and mountains. Climb to the top of the mountain and overlook the panoramic view of Baisha Lake. You can also choose to have a picnic or camp by the lake and enjoy your leisure time. Precautions: Border defense certificate: You need to apply for a border defense certificate to go to Baisha Lake. It is recommended to apply in advance at the Kashgar Administrative Service Center. Prevention of altitude sickness: Due to the high altitude of Baisha Lake, it is recommended that tourists pay attention to the prevention of altitude sickness and prepare some anti-altitude sickness drugs. Sun protection and warmth: The plateau has strong ultraviolet rays and a dry climate. You need to take sun protection measures and replenish water in time. The temperature difference between day and night is large, and you need to prepare appropriate warm clothing.
