Experience the lowest point in inland China

4.6

Introduction

In Uighur language, Aidin Lake is called "Jurgen Yuan", which means "Moonlight Lake". It is located in the lowest altitude area in China, 155 meters below sea level, and is the closest place to the center of the earth except for the Dead Sea. The lake is composed of inland saltwater with extremely high salt content, and the surrounding climate is dry and the landscape is desolate, forming a unique salt crust on the surface. The south bank is a boundless Gobi with no signs of life, and the ancient Kanger well in the distance witnesses the vicissitudes of time. The north bank is lush with desert plants such as camel thorn and red willow. The original picture here is very spectacular.
