Come to the Pamir Plateau to wash your eyes! I found a magical color-changing lake

The mystical secret of the Pamir Plateau! This color-changing divine lake is a once-in-a-billion sight… 📸 A breathtaking lake that lasts for ten thousand years! The water changes three times a day: dark green → sapphire blue → molten gold black, crazily photogenic in the embrace of "Father of Ice Mountains" Muztagh Peak and Kongur Peak! Every snap is a National Geographic-level masterpiece✨ 🏔️ This is also the Dragon Pool recorded in Xuanzang’s "Great Tang Records on the Western Regions"! It hides: ✓ Kyrgyz sacred lake mythology ✓ Mysterious water monster legends ✓ A millennium-old unsolved mystery Cultural heritage max! 🚗 How to get there: Self-driving 👉 3.5 hours from Kashgar directly to Tashkurgan Bus 👉 Take a direct bus from Kashgar Bus Station 📍 Address: Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County, Kashgar Prefecture, Xinjiang 💰 Ticket: 45 RMB ⏰ Best season: May to October 🌸 Peak beauty period: July to August flower sea + sunny days = perfect combo! 📸 Must-shoot spots: 1️⃣ Panoramic view of the lakeside boardwalk 2️⃣ Snow mountain reflections 3️⃣ Molten gold lake surface at dusk Every frame is breathtaking! A 9-grid post on social media is not enough to share it all~ 🐎 Hidden experiences: ✓ Horse riding with the Kyrgyz by the lake ✓ Encountering adorable plateau marmots ✓ Tasting special yak yogurt ⚠️ Plateau Tips: 1. Sunscreen SPF50+ is a must 2. Bring a jacket for big temperature differences between morning and night 3. Prepare oxygen bottles moderately
