I haven't actually gone abroad, I've just been to the only pink sand beach in China

Perhaps you've seen the silvery white, delicate sand beaches of Wuzhizhou Island in Sanya, or the ten-mile golden sands of the Bohai Coast, but have you ever seen a pink sand beach? It's like the most enticing shade of pink on a girl's cheeks when she's shy, or like the petals of peach blossoms in spring, scattered along the shore, tinting the entire lake red. This unique pink sand beach in China is right here in Yunnan! I've heard a saying that the people of Yunnan gave Lugu Lake to the world, but kept Fuxian Lake for themselves. The beauty of Fuxian Lake is a treasure belonging only to the people of Yunnan, and apart from the azure expanse of crystal-clear blue, there lies a romantic pink sand beach. The red sand beach is located at Hongshanhou on the west bank of Fuxian Lake. It's just over a ten-minute drive from the city center. Under the azure sky, the lake surface sparkles, and the intoxicating red sand beach, together with the colorful metasequoia forest, reflects each other, full of infinite ancient poetic charm, forming a beautiful picture scroll. Strolling on the red sand beach, with feet stepping on the soft, cotton-like sand, facing the clear and blue lake water, and listening to the lapping sounds of the lake... A gentle breeze comes, as if any worries could be blown away... From an aerial view, under the azure sky, the lake surface sparkles, and the intoxicating red sand beach, together with the colorful metasequoia forest, reflects each other, forming a beautiful picture scroll. Do you think this perfectly pink sand is man-made? The local villagers say that the land has always been red since people started living here, spreading to the edge of Fuxian Lake, turning the entire beach pink. If the pink sands of the Bahamas come from foraminifera, then perhaps the pink sands of Fuxian Lake are created by mixing crushed peach blossoms into them, creating a fairy tale. Walking on the soft fine sand, feeling the warm spring breeze, the lake water lifts wave upon wave, and the whole Fuxian Lake seems to have turned sweet, becoming a bubbling carbonated orange soda, exuding a sweet fragrance. Upon closer inspection, the sand is reddish-brown, with small seashells washed up by the waves mixed in. When you grab a handful, the sand is fine and soft, just like a girl's rouge. If you happen to grab a handful, the sand is fine and soft, just like a girl's rouge, and if you brought aerial photography tools, congratulations, you've found the most beautiful way to experience this beach. You will see what is the most wonderful and harmonious color fusion of nature, and you can only sigh and say 'How beautiful!'
