That Dreamy Hue on the Pamir Plateau

This is the plateau closest to the sky, with snow-capped mountains like silver crowns and lakes like shattered jade. The wind sweeps across Muztagh Ata Peak, carrying an ancient chill and awakening the sleeping wilderness. Baisha Lake, Karakul Lake, Bandier Blue Lake... The Pamirs hide their purest blues all above 4,000 meters above sea level. They are the eyes of melting snow, fragments of the sky fallen to earth; one glance, and your heart finds peace. Baisha Lake This "sapphire" embedded in the Pamir Plateau is truly so beautiful it leaves one speechless! The lake water is as pure as Tiffany blue, with an added layer of soft, veil-like light. The Baisha Mountains sparkle in the sunlight, and the distant snow-capped mountains reflect on the lake surface; every scene is a postcard! Karakul Lake Karakul Lake is a sapphire on the Pamir Plateau. To its east stands Muztagh Ata Peak, known as the "Father of Glaciers." Its massive snow crown is always faintly visible in the distance, while Karakul Lake acts like a mirror reflecting the snow-capped mountains. Bandier Blue Lake A shining sapphire on the Pamir Plateau. In Tajik, "Bandier" means "it was originally," as in, it was originally here that I met you.
