Balikun Lake is formed by the confluence of natural springs around it. It is about 12 kilometers wide from east to west and 20 kilometers long from north to south. The lake covers an area of 112.15 square kilometers. The lake is also rich in Glauber's salt mines and salt pans, and the lake contains aquatic organisms Artemia.

Balikun Lake was called Pulei Sea and Poxihai in ancient times, Barkul Nur in Yuan Dynasty, and Barkul Lake in Qing Dynasty. There are many beautiful legends about Balikun Lake. One of the most popular legends is: a Han girl and a Kazakh youth named Pu Leihai fought together with the mountain demon that destroyed the lake. The girl was crushed under the sharp mountain and petrified. Already, the Kazakh young man grabbed the mountain demon and sank to the bottom of the lake together. They exchanged their lives for a peaceful and happy life for future generations. In order to commemorate them, people call the clear springs at the foot of Jianshan Mountain "Hangu Spring" and the lake "Pulei Sea".

Balikun Lake, the real main entrance, is picture 1. Knock on the blackboard, this is the main entrance, the main entrance of the real scenic spot! The night before, we went wrong and went to an industrial area one kilometer away, so the smell of the lake was particularly strong. The taste here is small, the scenery is beautiful, and it is more suitable for taking pictures. After entering, there is a long wooden plank road, and there is a big stone that says "Balikun Lake". The same blue pontoon as in the industrial area is very beautiful. There are many and thick clouds in the sky, so the lake is not too blue, and the transparency is not very good, but there is a kind of hazy beauty. Walking into the middle of the lake, you can see the orange pontoon bridge over the industrial area, which is where we walked in yesterday. It is estimated that if there are not so many clouds in the sky, the blue sky and the blue lake will be very beautiful. There are many horses on the side of the road, saddles are ready for tourists to ride. First, when we arrived, it was already past 4 pm, and we had to rush to Qitai, so we really didn’t have time. Secondly, I saw a lot of potholes in the grass, and there are many big pits. If the terrain is not familiar, when the horse is whipped, the horse will really run, with all four hooves in the air, and it is easy to fall down. If you fall off a horse and go fast, you're in trouble. So I didn't ride, just left. There is also a brand on the horse's body, which is a number, which may be used to distinguish it. the Address: Haiziyan Township, 18 kilometers west of Balikun County Tickets: Free Transportation: self-driving or chartered car

After leaving the Symphony Lake, we went straight to Barkol. Because it was getting late, we planned to go to Balikun Lake to watch the sunset first. When we arrived at Balikun Lake, the time was just right. The setting sun is sprinkling the golden afterglow all over the earth. Walk along the long wooden plank road, and inside is Balikun Lake. Because the impression of Symphony Lake is really good, so the expectations for Balikun Lake are very high. As a result, I was very disappointed. Although the water of the lake is blue, there is an unknown covering on the surface of the lake. The whole lake is stinky. The further you go, the more you can't stand it. But the photos that came out were just fine. Looking back, the yurts in the distance seem to be plated with a layer of gold. The sunset is beautiful, the grasslands and distant mountains are beautiful, but Balikun Lake is not beautiful. Don't dare to stay too late, after the sun sinks, we drive to Barkol County. On the way, I met a flock of sheep returning home. Haha, the streets are full of running mutton skewers. . .

This scenic spot is not very famous in Xinjiang, but the scenery is particularly good. The lake is not big, and the lake is clear and calm, just like a mirror, reflecting the lake and mountains on the shore. The scenic spot is located in Hami. This place is at the junction of Xinjiang and the mainland. In fact, the entire Barkol scenic spot is very beautiful, and it is also close to the mainland, with direct high-speed rail. Playing, you can not only appreciate the grasslands, mountains and lakes in Xinjiang, but also save time and energy, and Barkol is a typical Xinjiang scenery, it is really magnificent, you can experience what is the beauty of Xinjiang

Balikun Lake is so quiet and transparent, often a few ducks cross the clear waves on the water surface, arousing layers of ripples and waves, stirring the scenery, arousing people's amazed eyes, and greatly increasing the interest in seeing the scenery.
