Reed marshes at sunset, Juyan Lake, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

✨✨✨Juyan Lake✨✨✨✨ Located in the northern part of Ejin Banner, Inner Mongolia, it is the tail lake of the Heihe River, the second largest inland river in my country. It is a peculiar migratory lake. Its position and shape often change, and it is full of mystery. Legend has it that the famous Chinese philosopher Laozi attained enlightenment and became an immortal here, and later generations called this place "The Fairyland of Quicksand". Here you can find vast deserts, rippling blue lakes, reed marshes swaying in the wind, lush aquatic plants, and it is also the habitat of many rare birds, forming a beautiful picture of a desert water town. In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the lake, water birds play in the golden light, and the scene is like a dream. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the sky and the lake orange-red, which is intoxicating and becomes a paradise for travel and photography enthusiasts. 🍁 Public transportation: If you don’t drive yourself, you can consult the local public transportation methods to Juyan Lake in Ejina Banner, such as chartering a car or joining a tour group. 🏜️Xianzong Pier: the best place to watch sunrise and sunset.
