Xinjiang Hami Off-the-beaten-path Free Attractions | Barkol Lake

Barkol Lake is a lesser-known attraction located in Hami, Xinjiang🏞. Few people🙍🏻‍♀, exquisite. If I were to describe it in words, I think Barkol Lake💧 is like a natural coffee shop☕. Sitting in it, sipping a cup of coffee☕, looking at the lake not far away, the waves are sparkling; the reeds🌾 by the side are swaying, quiet and friendly; the fiery sunset🌞 afterglow, reflected on the face, enjoying the warmth. 🕙Opening hours: 8:30-18:00 🎫Ticket price: Free 🚗Transportation strategy: Barkol Lake Scenic Area🏞 💫Highlights: Here is the endless blue💙, here is the vast golden💛, here are many unspeakable vegetation🌿, and there are also beaches composed of mirabilite mines and salt fields. In the gentle breeze, feel the pure natural blue, this is the blue that can't be found in the many beautiful scenery in Xinjiang, the blue of all beings! 📷Photography suggestions Dress: Clothes👚 can be brighter, such as the blue🔵, orange🟠, white⚪ in nature, the big scene will blend well Equipment: The camera📷 can choose medium and long focus, I use 5D3+50mm, assisted by mobile phone and drone. For those who are not afraid of weight, you can bring a longer focal length (85mm or above), shooting birds and people is also good👍. ⚠Suggestions People from the south or other regions really feel very dry when they come to Xinjiang! From the mouth to the eyeballs are dry, it is recommended to bring enough drinking water and moisturizer on the road, and even some eye drops with moisturizing effects; Whether you are a health-conscious person or not, it is also recommended to bring a thermos cup on the self-driving road, add some hot tea water before leaving the restaurant, the temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is large, it is very comfortable to drink when you are thirsty or cold; When you encounter beautiful scenery and stop the car, pay attention to observe the road conditions and choose a safe place; There is a lot of beef and mutton🐮🐑 in Xinjiang, it is recommended that everyone eat more yogurt, fruit🥭🍎🍉, to help digestion; Protect the environment, take away the garbage, please everyone can love the earth together d🌍. There are often animals appearing on the road, please be careful to avoid.
