Has anyone been to see the pink desert lake?

How can you miss the pink lake in the Badain Jaran Desert when you come to Jilin! This peach-colored lake surrounded by yellow sand shimmers with a dreamy glow under the sunlight, like a natural palette in the desert 🎨 🚩Must-visit spot: 📍Pink Lake (Location: heart of the Badain Jaran Desert): It’s best to visit at dawn or sunset when the sunlight hits the lake at an angle, showing the most beautiful pink hues. Salt-tolerant plants grow by the lake, so you can cleverly compose your shots to include the plants, desert, and pink water all in one frame~ Don’t forget to bring a drone! The bird’s-eye view is absolutely stunning. 💡Useful tips: 1. It’s recommended to hire an off-road vehicle to enter the desert, as regular cars can easily get stuck in the sand. 2. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat; the desert UV rays are very strong. 3. There are no shops in the scenic area, so bring enough water and snacks. 4. Autumn, from September to October, is the best time to visit, with comfortable temperatures and the most beautiful lake colors. 📸Photo tips: - Wearing light-colored clothes makes your photos stand out more. - Use the desert as the foreground and the pink lake as the background for stunning portraits. - At sunset, the lake turns golden pink—make sure to capture this golden moment. Although the journey is long, when you see that dreamy pink lake, you’ll feel it’s all worth it! This hidden gem in the desert will definitely blow up your social media~
