Xinjiang Baisha Lake | A Real-Life Ink Painting Awaits You

| A real-life ink painting awaits you. 🩵 If you come to Xinjiang, Baisha Lake is definitely a treasure scenic spot that you can't miss! One half is snow-white sand, and the other half is clear and pure sea. When the weather is fine, the sun shines on the lake, which is as beautiful as an ink painting. It is like a dream, making people dare not believe their eyes! 📸Photo Spot Guide 1. South Bank Scenic Area Viewing Platform: Tickets are CNY 40/person. This is a well-known spot where you can walk to the lake at close range. But be aware that there are a lot of mosquitoes, so be prepared for mosquito prevention! There are also classic road signs along the roadside of the scenic spot, but the traffic is heavy in the afternoon, which is more dangerous. Remember to leave quickly after taking pictures. The car needs to be parked in the parking lot before walking there. 2. North Bank: Highly recommended! Compared with the South Bank, the background here is more photogenic, with fewer mosquitoes and fewer people, making it more comfortable to take pictures. Navigate directly to "Baisha Lake North Bank", and you can also go to Muji Volcano along the way. 3. Hidden and beautiful spot: 99% of people don't know about it! Navigate to "Muji Volcano", which is about 10 km away from the North Bank viewing platform. When you see the signal tower, park your car. There is a large platform past the fence on the left. Here, you can exclusively enjoy the entire Baisha Lake and take pictures to your heart's content. If you have a drone, the aerial photography effect is even more amazing! Travel Tips ✅Baisha Lake and Muji Volcano are close to each other, so you can easily visit them in one day, but be sure to check the weather before you set off. ✅Personally, I don't think it's necessary to go to the lakeside. You can take super beautiful photos on the North Bank. ✅It is about 150 km from Kashgar, a 3-hour drive, all uphill. Remember to start from Kashgar with a full charge if you drive an electric car. You can recharge at the Kezhou Glacier Park on the way, or you can go to the Subashi service area to recharge after visiting Baisha Lake. Planning your battery life will give you more peace of mind. I always thought that the scenery of Yili in northern Xinjiang was amazing enough, but it was not until I came to Baisha Lake that I realized that the beauty of southern Xinjiang does not need filters! On the way from Kashgar to Taxian, there are endless beautiful sceneries such as snow-capped mountains, Danxia landforms, wetlands, and lakes. If you have enough time, don't miss the trip to southern Xinjiang!
