Indonesia | Go early! Glass Lake! Diamond Sea!
On an Indonesian island with few international tourists🌴
There is a blue diamond lake called Paisupok by the locals💎
Which means 'black water' or 'dark water'🌊
Recently, this hidden gem has its own dedicated tag on Instagram🔖
It's a place where buyer's show and seller's show are very close
The color of the water changes with the sunlight🌞
Most importantly, it's very clear💧
Almost like glass, you can clearly see the bottom of the lake🔍
