Baisa Lake, Xinjiang | A paradise on the Pamir Plateau.

There is a Baisa Lake in Xinjiang, which not only has clear and transparent lake water, but also has towering snow-capped mountains in the distance. The lake is surrounded by Baisa Mountain, with undulating sand dunes, like a charming sand painting, known as the "paradise on the Pamir Plateau". Baisa Lake is located in the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau. It is a moraine lake formed by glaciers. The lake water comes from snow melting and groundwater. 🌈Highlights: ✅Baisa Mountain stretches for thousands of kilometers, consisting of more than 10 large and small hills. The sand mountain and the surrounding mountain scenery form a huge contrast. The white sand and the black mountain rocks are entangled together, blending into a black and white beauty, like a charming sand painting. ✅It is said that the Liusha River described in "Journey to the West" is here. ✅The lake water is clear and transparent, exuding an attractive blue color. Under the sunlight, it is sparkling. ✅This is also a paradise for photography enthusiasts. The unique landform and light and shadow effects provide endless inspiration for photography creation. 📌Tips: 1️⃣You must apply for a border defense certificate before going to Baisa Lake and Taxian❗Bring your ID card and apply in advance at the place of household registration or queue up at the east gate of Kashgar Ancient City. 2️⃣Baisa Lake is a 3-hour drive from Kashgar and a 2.5-hour drive from Tashkurgan County. 📍Location: Within the territory of Akto County, Kizilsu, Xinjiang, next to National Highway 314 or Z683 (the border defense gravel road leading to Mujie Township, Akto County, Kizilsu) 🎫Ticket: Free 🚗Transportation: It is recommended to navigate🧭 and drive by yourself
