#My Fancy Life #In the no-man's land deep in the Great Northwest Desert, there is a bright red "Heart of earth" beating. Locals call it Lake Ulan, and there are no people here, no signal, and 99 percent of people have never heard of it.
Hidden deep in the desert hinterland of Inner Mongolia Alxa, is the hidden secret that cannot be found on the map, more mysterious than the Qinghai Emerald Lake of last year's fire, even if it is the peak tourist season, you can avoid the sea of people, the color of the lake will change according to the season, the hotter the weather, the more red it is, the reddest period every summer, recently suddenly burst the internet, come to Yinchuan do not miss this treasure land.
In addition to the mysterious red lake, you can also experience the thrill and excitement of desert off-roading along the way, just like riding a roller coaster, and the thrill of weightlessness from time to time. The same rare golden salt lake, more beautiful than Oberyan's Sulphur Lake, allows you to stroll along the lake and get up close. Passing through a U-shaped sand-piercing highway, it is more like Route 66 in the United States than the net red G315, with fewer vehicles passing along the way and more beautiful photos.
Before there is a fire like Qinghai, hurry up and punch in by car!
Wulan Lake is located in the depths of the Tengger Desert in Alxa Left Banner, the nearest city is Yinchuan, and it can also be reached through the desert in Zhongwei. Therefore, yinchuan and zhongwei can be used as a starting point to Wulan Lake, and the play time can be arranged for 1-2 days according to the actual situation.
Because Ulan Lake cannot be found on the map, there is no mobile phone signal throughout the desert, so it is recommended to report a desert off-road group to play through the five lakes, which is safer for people without desert self-driving experience.
Lake Ulan is a lake of alkaline water, and "Ulan" means red in Mongolian. Every year, when there is little precipitation in the desert and the water level in the lake drops, the lake here takes on a red color. Some experts believe that there is a kind of "salt brine worm" (similar to algae) in the desert, they like to live in salt lakes, and the brine worm is pink, and the higher the temperature, the darker the color. Therefore, every year from July to September is the best time to visit Lake Ulan.

From the Tungudol Sumu Reception Station into the desert for about 6 kilometers, many swans will inhabit here every year, so it is called "Swan Lake". Swan Lake is divided into saltwater lakes and freshwater lakes, presenting two very different landscapes.
Lush vegetation is distributed on one side of the freshwater lake, while the side of the saltwater lake has shown significant white salinization, which looks like it is surrounded by a rainbow from a distance.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" > Lake Ulan</h1>
The red Lake Ulan will definitely surprise you when you first arrive, there are several pearl-like red lakes scattered in the desert, and the bright red water has flowed like blood on the surface for hundreds of years.
The color of Ulan Lake will change with the seasons, the higher the temperature, the darker the color, every year from July to September is the best time to watch, to choose the weather is clear to go, the sun shines, the color is more vivid.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" > Lake Suhaitu</h1>
Today, Lake Suhaitu is nearly dry. If it were not for the drone overlook, there would be almost no trace of the lake, only white salinity, sparse greenery and endless yellow sand. If you're in a hurry, skip Lake Suhetu and head straight to the next lake.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" > Sun Lake</h1>
Sun Lake is the largest of the five lakes, overlooking in the air is particularly stunning, white saline strokes, yellow lake water filling, color layers, forming a strange abstract pattern.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="05" > Moon Lake</h1>
Standing on the sand dunes and looking out, the Moon Lake is as its name suggests, and the surface of the lake is indeed like the shape of the moon. The surrounding oases also seem to be more dense, and the crescent bay in this desert adds a vibrant scene to the vast no-man's land.
