Guide to the Phantom Color Lake (Tolukul Lake)

The Phantom Color Lake (Tolukul Lake) is on the way from Hami to Yiwu, a mysteriously changing pink lake that is definitely worth a stop. The Phantom Color Lake is also a salt lake, containing salt mines and mirabilite, with crystals all around the edge, but odorless. The pink color of the Phantom Color Lake is formed by the algae in the water, and it will be super pink on sunny days. The color change of it is affected by light, hence the name Phantom Color Lake is really appropriate, with visible color changes, purple, blue, pink, yellow-green. The rare pink lake, different from the pink lake in the Badain Jaran Desert, is that the lake surface is very large and there is color change. TIPS: If you want to take pictures, make sure to check the weather, you can only see the pink color on sunny days, it will be gray on cloudy days.
