| The ultimate guide to crossing the Five Lakes. I encountered a pink heart in the desert💖| The ultimate guide to crossing the Five Lakes📝
Opening thoughts: All photos are unedited, straight from the drone's camera!
At first, when I saw those pictures online, to be honest, I also doubted whether these were the true colors of the lakes in the desert. But when I saw it with my own eyes and the drone took off, I could only marvel at the wonders of nature! If you're in Yinchuan or Zhongwei, you must come to Alxa to experience the magical route of crossing the Five Lakes!
1. Detailed explanation of the Five Lakes crossing route
This route is quite mature, located in the desert near Alxa Left Banner - Hero Meeting Place. The whole journey is an exciting desert off-road, not suitable for self-driving, you have to charter a car and find a local leader.
🌟 The most beautiful is Wulan Lake (it's simply a lifelike heart, pictures 1-2);
🌟 Emerald Eye Lake (looks just like an eye👁️, with a greenish hue to the water, picture 3);
🌟 Camel Lake (a tender pink lake, picture 4);
🌟 Guitar Lake (shaped like a guitar, picture 5);
🌟 Swan Lake (blue water, next to the desert and green trees, picture 5);
🌟 The abandoned old car field at the Hero Meeting Place, super suitable for shooting road movies, but we didn't know before and didn't bring a camera📷, I suggest dressing cool and taking lots of photos here (pictures 6-7);
🌟 There are also other lakes, such as Egg Yolk Lake, Mandarin Duck Lake, etc., but due to different seasons, some lakes may disappear or not look as nice.
2. Thoughtful tips and hints
💡 Try to enter the desert around 9 am! At this time, there are fewer people, the experience is excellent, and it's not too hot. In the afternoon, tour groups will enter the desert, and then the lakeside will be full of people and cars, which greatly reduces the experience (⚠️We specifically stayed in Alxa Left Banner for one night, tasted the hat barbecue and shaomai, super delicious! Highly recommended!);
💡 The two of us chose to charter a car, and the experience was worlds apart! Very free, the leader only needed to help us take pictures, no need to wait for others;
💡 No need to make a travel plan, the route is basically fixed, the key is to choose a good leader, the leader decides whether you will get carsick, how good the photo and video effects are, and whether you need to travel with several cars~
💡 Definitely bring a drone✈️, the view from above is simply stunning, the leaders usually provide one, and even offer free shooting;
💡 We traveled by a single car, many times we were the only car in the desert, super free, if you like excitement, drive faster, if scared, drive slower🚗, it's a real test of the leader's driving skills (⚠️and many cars don't turn on the air conditioning, sand blows into the car, we kept the windows closed and air conditioning on all the way);
(The driver for the Five Lakes crossing), the most important thing is the price is super reasonable (I asked many companies, and some were charging 2000 for the same route, really a black question mark⁉️), driving + explanation + drone shooting all the way (the shots are really great! Trust me, girls!).
Wulan Lake, the heart of the earth, one of the self-help trips in Inner Mongolia, in the no-man's land deep in the Tengger Desert, has a magical lake, shaped like a bright red heart, blood vessel lines are clearly visible, showing the magic of nature, there is no smoke here, there is no signal, I can’t find its location on the map. I have been there very few people. In the past two years, due to the publicity of the media, it has become a red punching place for net red. When you cross the lonely road and step on the vast desert, before you get lost, you will see a hot red on a certain dune. It boils on the surface. It's like the pulse of the earth. This is the Ulan Lake, called the heart of the earth. Walking by the lake, it's like walking on a huge red palette. You'll be captured by the bright red steak at a glance. After two years of seeing it, there is no regret about this trip.
I didn't have hope, but the result was really amazing. It was really the heart of the earth, the closer the color of the lake, the darker the red. You need to rent a desert off-road vehicle, the driver will cross the desert all the way to here, otherwise you can't reach the scenic spot. No one has received tickets yet. The lake can step in barefoot, and the driver will also help to shoot with drones. The lake has changed from blue to blood red, and it is impossible to imagine its shocking beauty without seeing it with your own eyes.
Known as the heart of the earth, Wulan Lake is a rare red lake in the desert. It is now the most dazzling existence of many Internet celebrity attractions! There is also a pink mirror camel lake is also a beautiful lake in the desert.
The area of Wulan Lake has five or six football fields, but it is not a large lake, especially after the summer lake water evaporation, the lake seen at the scene is more like a shoal, the shoal is surrounded by the crystallization of the lake after evaporation, and then a circle is a piece of silt. Jiang accidentally fell into the silt, this taste is too high, because some places can be stepped on, some places are crystalline pink crystals under the silt...
