| A real-life ink painting awaits you. 🩵 If you come to Xinjiang, Baisha Lake is definitely a treasure scenic spot that you can't miss! One half is snow-white sand, and the other half is clear and pure sea. When the weather is fine, the sun shines on the lake, which is as beautiful as an ink painting. It is like a dream, making people dare not believe their eyes! 📸Photo Spot Guide 1. South Bank Scenic Area Viewing Platform: Tickets are CNY 40/person. This is a well-known spot where you can walk to the lake at close range. But be aware that there are a lot of mosquitoes, so be prepared for mosquito prevention! There are also classic road signs along the roadside of the scenic spot, but the traffic is heavy in the afternoon, which is more dangerous. Remember to leave quickly after taking pictures. The car needs to be parked in the parking lot before walking there. 2. North Bank: Highly recommended! Compared with the South Bank, the background here is more photogenic, with fewer mosquitoes and fewer people, making it more comfortable to take pictures. Navigate directly to "Baisha Lake North Bank", and you can also go to Muji Volcano along the way. 3. Hidden and beautiful spot: 99% of people don't know about it! Navigate to "Muji Volcano", which is about 10 km away from the North Bank viewing platform. When you see the signal tower, park your car. There is a large platform past the fence on the left. Here, you can exclusively enjoy the entire Baisha Lake and take pictures to your heart's content. If you have a drone, the aerial photography effect is even more amazing! Travel Tips ✅Baisha Lake and Muji Volcano are close to each other, so you can easily visit them in one day, but be sure to check the weather before you set off. ✅Personally, I don't think it's necessary to go to the lakeside. You can take super beautiful photos on the North Bank. ✅It is about 150 km from Kashgar, a 3-hour drive, all uphill. Remember to start from Kashgar with a full charge if you drive an electric car. You can recharge at the Kezhou Glacier Park on the way, or you can go to the Subashi service area to recharge after visiting Baisha Lake. Planning your battery life will give you more peace of mind. I always thought that the scenery of Yili in northern Xinjiang was amazing enough, but it was not until I came to Baisha Lake that I realized that the beauty of southern Xinjiang does not need filters! On the way from Kashgar to Taxian, there are endless beautiful sceneries such as snow-capped mountains, Danxia landforms, wetlands, and lakes. If you have enough time, don't miss the trip to southern Xinjiang!

In the folds of the Pamir Plateau, Baisha Lake has become a top secret place for traveling in Xinjiang with its fantastic landscape of "half desert and half lake". This sapphire 🔷, about 3⃣5⃣0⃣0⃣ meters above sea level, is surrounded by Baisha Mountain and Muztagh Ata Peak. The sand sparkles like broken silver in the sun, and the lake changes into emerald, indigo, and glass-like colors with the light and shadow, as if overturning the color palette of nature 🎨. 🚗 Transportation strategy: The first choice for self-driving: Starting from Kashgar, drive west along National Highway G314 for about [Three] hours (there are many speed limit sections, it is recommended to reserve 4 hours). Along the way, you can enjoy the "Kunlun Mountains Painting". When you arrive at Baisha Lake, the parallel perspective of the road and the lake is the ceiling of road travel. 📃 Border defense essentials: You need to apply for a border defense pass (free of charge) to go to Baisha Lake. You can get it quickly at the police station in Kashgar Old Town, the self-driving camp, the Kashgar International Self-driving and RV Camp, or the Kashgar Municipal Government Service Center (get it immediately after processing). 🎫 Ticket Information Currently, tickets are free (policy in 2023), but there are facilities such as observation decks and wooden plank roads in the scenic area. It is recommended to check the latest policies in advance. A border pass is required to enter the scenic area, and some observation decks provide free parking. 🌄 Best season & check-in spots Summer and Autumn (June-October): The lake is the bluest, the contrast between the sand hills and snow-capped peaks is the highest, and the lake surface sparkles like diamonds in the afternoon sun, making it ideal for photographing mirror-like reflections. Winter and Spring (November-May): The lake is frozen into a "mysterious blue ice land", and the sand dunes are more ethereal in the snow and fog, but you need to be careful of the low temperatures at high altitudes. ✅Must-visit observation deck: The second viewing platform on National Highway G314 has the widest view, allowing you to take panoramic photos of Baisha Mountain, snow-capped peaks and the lake at the same time. Lakeside wooden boardwalk: Get close to the lake, the reflection of the sand hills is as clear as a mirror, and the photo output rate is 100% under the golden light at sunset. 🎬 Baisha Lake 2⃣0⃣0⃣m road sign: Located on the south bank in the return direction, that is, when returning to Kashgar from Taxkorgan County, don’t miss it❗️ 📌 Practical Tips Note on high altitude: Baisha Lake is at a high altitude, so avoid strenuous exercise and bring oxygen cylinders. Dressing suggestions: The temperature difference in the desert area is large, so it is recommended to bring a windproof jacket + bright-colored skirt/shawl 👗 to make you stand out in photos. Shooting position: Drone restricted flying area🚫, but the ground view is shocking enough. Try to use the reflection of the lake to shoot a symmetrical composition.
