It has several mysterious features: the first is that the area is large and small. The area of Balikun Lake varies greatly during the flood and dry periods, with more than 100 square kilometers at its peak, while the dry period may shrink to less than half.
The second is that Bali kun Lake is in the shape of a shallow plate, and the deepest place is only 1.1 meters. The water of Balikun Lake comes from the melting snow water of the Tianshan Mountains, and it is the lowest place in the entire Balikun grassland, but the lowest place is still very high, so the basin becomes "plate" and "plate" becomes shallow lake.
The third is that Bali Kun Lake is divided into grass beaches, mudflats and central lake areas, and there are also mangstrings that stretch for more than ten kilometers on the shore, with emerald green, ink black, lake blue, snow white and other colors intertwined, forming the unique charm of Bari Kun Lake.
The fourth is the mudflat part of Balikun Lake, which is a special ecological area that smells smell but nourishes a large number of microorganisms and birds due to the chemical reaction of the salt lake itself, which produces a large amount of methane and ammonia.
The fifth is that in the water of BariKun Lake, there is only one kind of creature that can be seen with the naked eye, that is, the famous "harvest worm" in aquaculture circles - brine worm, its eggs are very valuable, so it is called golden sand.
Balikun Lake is extremely special and well worth seeing, and it is said that it is a place where Kazakh lads and Han girls resist mountain demons together.
