White Sand Lake: A Marvel on the Pamir Plateau

Nestled on the Pamir Plateau in Xinjiang, White Sand Lake amazes visitors with its unique scenery of “white sand mountains mirrored in turquoise waters.” The vast sand dunes along the shore, composed of pure and fine white grains, gleam under the sunlight, creating a striking contrast with the lake's translucent emerald-green surface. In the distance, snow-capped mountains complete this dreamlike highland panorama. A paradise for photography enthusiasts, the lake is also a must-pass route on the way to Tashkurgan. #hellohalloween
