Hami Barkol | A low-key and beautiful place that is often overlooked👉 👉Hami Barkol in Xinjiang is a low-key and beautiful tourist destination 👉It is also a tourist destination that is easily overlooked . ✅【Barkol Lake】The lake is slightly oval-shaped, surrounded by rolling mountains, lush grass, and beautiful water. The east lake is rippling with blue waves, while the west lake is silver-white. There are large marsh wetlands to the east of the lake, and vast pastures around the lake. Kazakh herders often hold grand "Aken singing and dancing parties" on the lakeside grassland. . ✅【Barkol Grassland】The second largest grassland in Xinjiang, it is home to eight scenic spots and historical sites, including "Tianshan Snow," "Hanhai Ao City," "Mirror Spring Moon," and "Yuetai Liusheng."
