Flying Birds of Bosten Lake

🌊 Xinjiang Bosten Lake|Encounter the vast wetlands of the migratory bird paradise! Today, let's unlock the hardcore way to enjoy Xinjiang's largest freshwater lake—it's not the sea but better than the sea🌊. Every autumn, tens of thousands of migratory birds stop here, creating a spectacular scene that makes filters unnecessary! Last time I came, I caught the moment when a flock of cormorants took flight, and my phone's memory exploded💥 📍Address: Ahongkou, Bohu County, Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture 🚗 Travel Tips: 1️⃣ About 1.5 hours driving from Korla, the sudden visual shock of the blue lake surface cutting through the Gobi Desert along the way! 2️⃣ It’s recommended to rent a bicycle (30 RMB/hour) inside the scenic area; cycling along the lakeside boardwalk is super healing 🔥 Must-visit highlights: ▫️ Birdwatching platform at sunrise Be there at 6:30! The sight of hooded cranes and egrets taking off from the reed marshes is amazing ▫️ West Sea Sand Island A wonder where desert and wetlands coexist! Barefoot on the golden fine sand, rushing straight into the lake water, the contrast is striking ⚠️ Pitfall Prevention Guide: • Sunscreen + sunglasses are a must! The UV rays are strong enough to peel your skin • The best birdwatching period is September to October; bringing binoculars will add more fun Photo by colleague Ms. He.
