It is the dream island on the Pamir Plateau in southern Xinjiang - Baisha Lake
Baisha Lake was originally the confluence of the Muji River, the Bulunkou River and the Kangxiwa River, and every autumn and winter when the flow of the river decreases and the bottom of the lake is exposed, the strong winds of the plateau blow the white sand at the bottom of the lake into a Baisha Mountain. Later, a dam was built here to impound the water of the three rivers, and the 44-square-kilometer Burenkou Reservoir was formed
Location: Baisha Lake is located in the southern part of Xinjiang, in Aktao County, Kezhou on the Pamir Plateau, next to National Highway 314. Transportation: 3 hours drive from Kashgar and 2.5 hours drive from Tashkurgan County.

Notes !️:
The altitude of Muztag Peak is 7546, but the altitude of the glacier is only 4620, although the altitude is not low, but it is enough for an ordinary person to reach. The parking lot is located at an altitude of 4511 above sea level, and after getting off the bus, you can start hiking. Note that the first slope is relatively steep, so you must slow down, otherwise it is easy to cause high reaction or physical exhaustion. The climb of about 100 meters requires 800 meters of walking, and it takes about half an hour to reach the foot of the glacier.
China-Pakistan Highway: The Karakoram Highway was built in the 60s of the 20th century, starting from Kashgar in Xinjiang, China in the north, passing through the Karakoram Mountains, the Hindu Kush Mountains, the Pamir Plateau, and the western end of the Himalayas. The China-Pakistan Highway is the world's highest-altitude cross-border highway and has been rated as one of the "Top Ten Dangerous Highways in the World". There are 12 peaks in the world that are more than 8,000 meters above sea level, and this road crosses 4 of them!

The scenery on the back of Baisha Lake is particularly good! But you have to go to Muji Township to see the back side of Baisha Lake; There are two observation decks, each with parking. It is recommended to go to the second observation deck. 40 people, you can park for free if you buy a ticket. You can walk to the lake through the boardwalk; It is very windy all year round, whether it is April or May or November and February. The altitude of Baisha Lake has begun to rise, so the temperature is quite low in summer, and the ultraviolet rays are strong. The clothes you prepare should be about 5 degrees thicker than the weather forecast, and it is best to prepare a pair of sunglasses The whole process of heating measures must be in place, the plateau area must be prepared with high anti-drugs, there is no food near Baisha Lake, and there is no store now (only those that sell jade), so it is best to bring some snacks or dry food After 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun illuminates the whole lake and Baisha Mountain, which is the most beautiful time, and it is really shocking when the light is good; Drone aerial photography must be an experience that cannot be missed, but note that the altitude is too high and it is not recommended to fly too high
Baisha Lake is like a pearl inlaid on National Highway 314, the blue water of the lake reflects the gray sand mountain, shining in the sun, it is a blue wonderland that is exciting at a glance
