I've confirmed it, just to find the blue in my dreams.

Before going to Taxkorgan, the most anticipated place besides Muztagh Ata is Baisa Lake. Half of it is white sand, and half of it is blue lake. It's hard to imagine that it's on the Pamir Plateau with thin air and easy to have high altitude sickness. · Depart from Kashgar, follow National Highway 314 to Taxkorgan, and you can reach Baisa Lake in about 3 hours. When Baisa Lake really comes into view, the world seems to stand still, only seeing the vast lake water, reflecting the color of Tiffany blue, and the continuous white sand in the distance, reflecting dazzling light under the sun. · Baisa Lake is a typical plateau lake, formed by the melting of ice and snow, and is also the source of the Gez River. It is said that this is one of the story backgrounds of the Sand Monk in "Journey to the West", with eight hundred sand realms, three thousand weak waters, and ten thousand years of wind blowing, white sand becomes a mountain. · The white sand emits a metallic luster under the sunlight on the plateau, and the blue waves reflect the Gonger Jiubie Peak on both sides. Here, it is easy to see the scenery of the lake and the snow-capped mountains reflecting each other, plus the clouds in the sky forming a piece of reflection on the lake, forming the unique beauty of Baisa Lake. · The most convenient place to watch Baisa Lake is definitely the South Bank viewing platform, but you need to pay an admission fee of CNY 40. The advantage is that it is convenient and on the way. There are mainly two viewing platforms here, and the latter one has fewer people than the former one. The classic photo of the blue lake in front of the Internet and the viewing platform sign above is taken on the South Bank, but because it is at the turning point of the main road of National Highway 314, it is relatively dangerous. Now it is surrounded by people and it is difficult to walk past. This time, due to time constraints, I didn't go to the North Bank. It is said to be more natural and primitive, and you can overlook the entire Baisa Lake from a high place. · Tips： ✅Remember to apply for a border defense certificate when going to Taxkorgan, you can apply in advance at the place of household registration or after arriving in Kashgar ✅The wind at Baisa Lake is relatively strong, and the temperature is not high even in July-August ✅Be sure to choose a sunny day to come, the degree of beauty will be greatly reduced on cloudy days
