▷ Baisha Lake: The ‘Highland Sapphire’ beside National Highway G314, implementing differentiated opening policies for its north and south shores in 2026. The north shore’s free viewing area offers shots of Baisha Mountain and Muztagh Ata together, while the south shore features new wooden walkways and viewing platforms, extending summer opening hours until 20:00.
