The Quicksand River from Journey to the West actually exists! "Thousands of miles in all directions, hundreds of cliffs, deep valleys, snow and ice, and cold winds..." 💞The Quicksand River from Journey to the West actually exists! This lake on the Pamir Plateau is like a sapphire and is perfect for family, couple, and weekend trips. 💞If you like traveling around Kashgar or Xinjiang, save this post! 🏝Scenic area: Baisha Lake 📍Location: Baisha Mountain and Baisha Lake, National Highway 314, Akto County, Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Tickets: Free 🚗Transportation: Self-driving is recommended [Baisha Lake Travel Guide] Baisha Mountain is about 200 km from Kashgar Ancient City. It is about 460 m high and 1,200 m long. The green mountain is covered with white sand, half hidden and half visible, undulating and stretching. The snow-capped mountains and lakes are beautiful. When the wind blows, the mountain makes a sound, so it is also called "Singing Sand Mountain." It is a unique landscape in Xinjiang. Recommended photo spots: There are currently two viewing platforms at Baisha Lake. The boardwalk at Viewing Platform 1 offers a view of the snow-capped mountains. Viewing Platform 2 is along the boardwalk by the lake. Walk to the opposite hillside, where there is a mudflat that looks like a small island (the first picture in the collage is from here). The north shore of Baisha Lake is a good place to take photos with yaks. There is no boardwalk, and the view is wide. The road sign photo is on the south shore of Baisha Lake. The scenery on the north shore is relatively clean. It is recommended to take photos in the afternoon when there are not many shadows and the mountain looks better.
