The dreamy White Sand Lake in Southern Xinjiang is half white sand and half blue lake
Xinjiang has two White Sand Lakes,
one in Altay of Northern Xinjiang, and one in Kashgar (Taxkorgan) of Southern Xinjiang.
The White Sand Lake in Southern Xinjiang is the prelude to the Pamir Plateau. Here, you encounter the pure blue💙
Walking into the White Sand Lake, on one side is the famous Kongur Peak, and on the other is the White Sand Mountain covered with silver sand. The snow mountain, White Sand Mountain, and White Sand Lake reflect each other, enchanting the heart❤

🔹White Sand Lake
The ultimate song of wind and sand has created the 'minimalist style' landscape of White Sand Lake: only the pristine sand and pure water. Looking around, there are only two colors, blue and white, simply too dreamy❗
The lake water is pure and crystal clear, like a blue jewel💎 on the Pamir Plateau
The lakeside white sand❄ is as white and delicate as snowflakes, with fine grains of sand flowing through the fingers, echoing the stories of the years
The color of the lake surface changes unpredictably with the weather, sometimes dark blue, sometimes emerald green, making the lake and mountains seem like an oil painting🎨
Eight hundred miles of flowing sand, three thousand miles of weak water depth, the mountain breeze dances lightly with the fine sand on the serene lake surface, a romantic entanglement of soft sand and clear water, as if echoing the journey of Tang Sanzang and his disciples to the West in search of scriptures... It is said that the 'Flowing Sand River' described in 'Journey to the West' is right here

🌈Scenery around White Sand Lake|🔻
🔹White Sand Mountain
Completely covered with silver sand, White Sand Mountain is pure and soft, like white silk scattered in the distance. It is said that when strong winds blow, White Sand Mountain makes a sound, hence it is also known as 'Singing Sand Mountain'. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the distant White Sand Mountain is reflected in the White Sand Lake, the clear lake water mirrors the white sand mountain, blending reality with illusion, like a fairyland
🔹Kongur Tagh
With an altitude of 7530 meters, it is the second highest peak of the Kunlun Mountains. The snow-capped mountains are towering and stretch across the sky, majestic and magnificent. The mountain top is perennially snow-covered, like the hat worn by the herdsmen, which is the origin of the name 'Kongur Tagh' (meaning 'white hat')

💙Handy tips|🔻
1⃣The ultraviolet rays are quite strong on the plateau, and the sandstorms are also significant, so it is recommended to bring sunglasses, scarves, and masks
2⃣If you want to walk around the lake, wearing suitable hiking shoes that are comfortable would be better
3⃣The altitude of White Sand Lake is quite high - 3300 meters, try not to engage in strenuous exercise to avoid altitude sickness~

When you come to White Sand Lake,
everyone's inner world seems to be purified.
White Sand Lake
The Baisha Lake scenic spot in Xinjiang is very characteristic. This is a green state in the desert and a pearl in the desert. The scenery here is so beautiful. You must come and see it when you come to Beijiang for a trip. In summer, you must bring mosquito repellent water to prevent mosquito bites.
Altay Baisha Lake is surrounded by sand dunes, which is also Baisha Mountain. It is only2.5 kilometers away from the border with Kazakhstan. The scenery of Baisha Lake is very unique. From the photos, it can be seen that the lake is blue and the water is like a mirror, which makes people intoxicated instantly. The lake and the dunes are interspersed with each other, and they paint a beautiful picture. It is also one of the well-deserved "magic northwest 100 scenes".
Baisha Mountain and Baisha Lake are very strange landscapes. The rolling sand dunes stretch for dozens of kilometers, like a dragon. The Baisha Lake next to it is like a blue sea. The two are against each other. The beauty here is intoxicating. Here you will feel countless nostalgia. Every photo here is a beautiful scenery, here to know what the magnificent river and mountain.
There is a Baisha Lake in the south and north Xinjiang. I saw the Baisha Lake video of the scenic spot and southern Xinjiang. This is the result? But walking in is the monument to the north of the northwest, and it is a little better. Interested in the history of farming can come to visit, otherwise this attraction can be abandoned directly.
The lake is very small, super small 5A scenic spot. It takes an hour and a half to drive over the Haba River, and a pass (can be used with Baibaha). However, there is a section of driving along the border, which is still a bit special. Going north is the north attraction of the northwest. There is no need to buy tickets for Baisha Lake.
In the desert, the water is precious, there is a rare lake, it is really small
Hahahaha, finally drove the car to Baisha Lake! This year's lake is relatively strong and cold, great.
The price is not high, not worth the price
