Baisha Lake

Baisha Lake is a true natural wonder located in the northern part of the Gurbantunggut Desert in China. This stunning contrast of blue water and white sand dunes creates a fairy-tale landscape that delights photographers from around the world.

The 2,100-meter-long and 1,300-meter-wide lake is surrounded by dense reeds and mixed forest belts. In the distance, the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Karakorum mountains complete the amazing view.

Adventurers can try their hand at sandboarding on nearby Mingsha Mountain or explore the region's unique ecosystem. In winter, the frozen lake offers equally spectacular, serene views.
