The Baiyin Chagan Lake in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has recently gone viral online for its dreamlike milky-white waters.
From a distance, the lake in the Xilin Gol League appears as a vast, uniform expanse of milky white, resembling a shimmering pool of milk under the sunlight. The gentle breeze creates ripples on the surface, and the surrounding grasslands stretch out like a massive green velvet carpet, extending all the way to the horizon. The milky lake and the lush prairie harmonize perfectly, creating a unique and breathtaking visual landscape.
According to experts, the Baiyin Chagan Lake is a natural alkaline lake. Due to long-term geological changes, large amounts of minerals such as calcium carbonate have accumulated on the lakebed. As the lake water flows, fine mineral particles remain suspended in the water, giving the lake a distinctive milky-white hue. Each year from late June to late August, the rainy season and increased animal activity make the milky appearance of the lake even more eye-catching.
