Bangong Lake: The legend of a sacred land.

My dear friends 🥰! Today, I must tell you about Bangong Lake. It is located about 12 km northwest of Rutog County in the Ngari Prefecture, with an area of 667 square kilometers and an altitude of 4,241 meters. It is a border lake between China and India. There is something amazing about this lake: two-thirds of it is in China and is freshwater, while the other third is in India and is saltwater. 😎 Why is this? It turns out that the upper reaches of Bangong Lake are in China, and two glaciers supply it with water. The lower reaches have less water supply, and with little precipitation and high evaporation, the lake water in India becomes saltier and saltier. Bangong Lake has great military strategic significance, as it is only 600 km from New Delhi, the capital of India, and it is also the only way from Xinjiang to Tibet. India often stirs up trouble and creates conflicts at the border, but our border guards are amazing and drive them away every time, protecting our peace. Standing by the beautiful Bangong Lake and thinking about all this, I really admire the border guards. They are the most lovable people! 👏 Walking along the lake from the east to the northwest, the scenery is amazing! The color of the lake water is like a dreamlike painting, changing as you walk, sometimes blue, sometimes dark blue, and sometimes green or turquoise. The Chinese side of Bangong Lake is lush with vegetation, with large areas of wetlands, birds as numerous as if they were holding a conference, and schools of fish that can be seen swimming in the water with the naked eye. In contrast, the lower reaches are barren and desolate. 💕
