The World’s Most ‘Favoring’ Lake: Astonishing East-West Gap, Tickets ‘Dirt Cheap’
When it comes to tourist attractions, Banpo Lake is almost unknown, let alone understood. It is a magical and unique lake in our country. It is a lake that our country shares with India, and it is separated from India. This lake is located in our country's Tibet, and there is a very magical place in this river, that is, 2/3 of the lake is freshwater, and the other 1/3 is salty. As her boundary line, there is also a navy stationed on the lakeside, which is called the 'fleet on the summit', they proudly call themselves the 'Western Sea Fleet', and they believe they are China's 'Western Sea Fleet'.
As a lake that goes against the current, its area reaches 604 square kilometers, with the widest part being 15 kilometers north-south, but the narrowest place is only 50 meters, and the deepest place is only 77 meters. The water here is particularly clear, and you can clearly see objects three to four meters away. The surrounding scenery is also beautiful, surrounded by mountains, and in the distance are snow-capped mountains.
This lake is 10 points magical, 2/3 belongs to our country, 1/3 belongs to India. However, the most peculiar thing about this lake is that it is a lake with different water content from east to west. Therefore, the east is freshwater, the middle is brackish water, and the west is saltwater. Moreover, this river is located in the westernmost part of our country, so it has always maintained its original state, and the environmental protection is very good. There are 20 kinds of birds, and this unbalanced lake presents two different scenes, which makes the Chinese feel helpless, and India also says it can't do anything, we all want it to rain on both sides, but it stubbornly favors China, it's China's motherland.
Every year from May to September is the best time to watch birds. Bird watching at Banpo Lake is a famous project in this area and even the entire region. As a border line, interestingly, the eastern area, which belongs to our country, has particularly abundant water vegetation and a lot of shrimp and fish. The Indian side's western area is almost barren, possibly due to water quality reasons. However, if you are interested in this place, it is best to go in May, when the weather is gradually warming up and the temperature is suitable. We can rent a boat in the middle of the lake and enjoy the scenery.
Regarding the ticket price, it's very cheap, only 30 yuan, and the cost is not expensive, only 80 yuan. You can still bargain, but the most beautiful thing here is to set up a tent and enjoy the night view. By the way, all the bird eggs here are protected, so don't take them away.
I bring you the world's most unbalanced lake, the gap between the east and west is really amazing. For the east, it is a mother; for the west, it is a stepmother.
