Highlights:
Taxkorgan Baisha Lake, also known as Chakrak Lake and Pamir Plateau Baisha Lake, is the only place to go from Kashgar to Taxkorgan, located on the edge of the national road. The lake here is like a mirror, the white sand is like snow, and the scenery is shocking. Walking out of the Gaizi Gorge and entering the Pamir Plateau, you can see Baisha Lake. It is nestled next to the huge Baisha Mountain, where the water from the river gathers to form a lake, and the deposited white sand is exposed in the cold season when the water level drops, and is blown up the hillside by the strong winds day and night. The spectacle of gathering sand into mountains.
