No wonder Inner Mongolia's lakes are all milk—truly stunning! The latest must-visit spot!

Here’s your guide to Inner Mongolia’s Milk Lake: **Milk Lake Overview** Located in Taibus Banner, Xilingol League, Inner Mongolia, Milk Lake is known as "Bayan Chagan Lake" in Mongolian, meaning "white lake." Its unique milky-white hue comes from high concentrations of minerals like calcium carbonate. Natural alkaline sediments suspend in the water under wind or currents, scattering sunlight to create its soft, creamy appearance. **Best Time to Visit** The ideal time is summer (June–August), when temperatures are pleasant and the lake’s color is most vibrant. **Transportation** - **Self-drive**: ~4–5 hours from Hohhot to Taibus Banner. - **Public transit**: Long-distance buses to Taibus Banner are available. **Accommodation** Nearby guesthouses and hotels are plentiful—book early during peak season. **Must-Do Experiences** - **Milk Tap**: Try free milk from the lake’s tap—sourced from supermarket-quality milk stored in underground tanks and piped through food-grade lines. Don’t forget photos with the scenic backdrop! - **Lake Views**: The silky "milk" water contrasts with the vast Gongbaolage Grassland, where green pastures and grazing livestock create a fairytale scene. **Tips** - **Milk supply**: Limited; plan to visit early morning or early afternoon. - **Water safety**: The lake water is undrinkable—heed warnings. - **Eco-care**: Preserve the environment; no littering. **Nearby Attractions** - **Royal Horse Manor** (4A): Pair with Milk Lake. - **Culture Horse Town** (3A): Experience grassland equestrian culture. - **Stone Strip Mountain**: A geological wonder. Hope this guide helps you explore Inner Mongolia’s Milk Lake! Taibus Banner · Xilingol League
