The Blue Tear of the Pamirs — White Sand Lake

White Sand Lake, also known as Bulunkul Lake, lies quietly at the entrance to the Pamir Plateau in Akto County, Kizilsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang. Its waters are a striking blue, resembling a teardrop on the plateau. The pure white sand hills along its shore stretch endlessly, shimmering under the sunlight, and together with the towering snow-capped peaks in the distance and the azure lake, they form a scene of dramatic impact. Situated at high altitude with unpredictable weather, this area serves as a gateway to Karakul Lake and Tashkurgan, captivating travelers with its majestic and unforgettable beauty. #hellohalloween
