Bandier Blue Lake | There is a blue, it's Bandier blue

| There is a blue, it's Bandier blue. Bandier Blue Lake, also known as Xiabandier Reservoir or Kan'er Yang Long Pond, was originally a river formed by the melting of glacial snow. Later, it was turned into a reservoir for water storage. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the lake water contains special minerals, which make its color change with the light and depth, presenting different shades of blue. Additionally, this place was the filming location for the famous movie 'Visitors on the Icy Mountain'. When the light is strong, the lake shows a deep turquoise blue; as the light weakens, the interplay of shadows enriches the color layers of the mountains and the lake surface; when the light is very weak, the lake surface seems to lose its luster, appearing even more serene. In a short period of time, the rapid changes in light and shadow allow us to appreciate the varying beauty of Bandier Blue Lake. 📍Location: Bandier Township, Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County, Kashgar Region, Xinjiang 🚗How to get there: Navigate to 'Bandier Blue Lake', and you will pass by this place on the road from Panlong Ancient Path to Taxkorgan County 💰Admission: Free ⏰Opening hours: All day ⏳Suggested duration of visit: About 0.5-1 hour 【Recommended Viewing Spots】 🌸Viewing platform: You can see the azure blue water flowing between the grey-brown mountains, with a prominent 'islet' in the lake 🌸Opposite the viewing platform: You can enjoy the winding lakeshore, which is a bit like a mini 'Sacred Elephant Gate', and you can also see the bridge over the lake in the distance 【Tips】 🌟The wind is quite strong, remember to take windproof measures 🌟The lake is large, if you want to stop and take photos along the way, pay attention to safety 🌟Lighting is very important, the lake surface illuminated by the sun is more beautiful, and the color of the lake surface will vary with the light
