Invisible Wind:“Among the many seas in Badanjilin, the most dazzling is undoubtedly the "romantic" of the arid region - the rose lake. The rose lake is not a specific lake, but a category of colored lakes with red color and other colors. This pink lake, known by the locals as the "Red Sea Zi", is actually a flash-in-the-moment "red water" landscape: under specific conditions, the lake becomes purple and red, beautiful.
