Lake Hillier, also known as Lake Cyrie, is an oval-shaped saltwater lake located on the Middle Islands of the Lotchet Islands of Esperance, Australia. Because of her mysteriousness, she is known as the girl's heart of the earth, which can only be viewed from a distance, not close to it.

Since Lake Hillier is located on the middle island in western Australia, it is not allowed to enter, so it can only be overlooked by helicopter from a high altitude.

Because of the coastline next to it, it is also known as australia's largest pork belly. In 1802, matthew Flinders, a member of the British naval expedition, discovered that the water of Lake Hillier was pink, so it was also called "Pink Lake"! There is no direct access to the lake and can only be viewed by helicopter.

How exactly did the pink color of Lake Hillier come about?
It is said that there is a theory that the lake water is highly salinity, which is more suitable for the survival of algal bacteria (such as Ducheni salt algae and pink salt bacillus), because the color of the algae is pink, and the color of the lake water also shows this pink color. But this explanation is not suitable for the pink phenomenon of Lake Hillier, because this pink color in Lake Hillier is a pink that exists all year round and even changes with temperature changes, and even if the lake water is put into a bottle, the water inside is still pink.

Whatever the reason, Lake Hillier did not bring any harm to human beings, but made Lake Hillier a beautiful landscape.
