Baisha Lake

Baisha Lake, also known as White Sand Lake, is surrounded by sand. It is named White Sand Lake because of the yellow and white sand dunes on the lakeside. Baisha Lake is located in Habahe County, 108km away from Habahe County. It is a small lake surrounded by sand dunes, with tall and dense mixed forest belts and dense reeds growing in the center, shore and around the lake. It is known as the "sacred spring of the desert" and is a freshwater lake in the north of Gurbantunggut Desert, the second largest desert in China. Baisha Lake is located in the desert, without inlet or outlet, but the water in the Baisha Lake does not increase or decrease due to seasonal changes, which is called a wonder. There is a great contrast between the climate and ecological environment in the center, shore and periphery of the lake, and the various vegetation and semi-arid shrub vegetation growing here are another magic part of Baisha Lake.
