Immerse yourself in the enchanting beauty of Tuolekule Lake in Hami City, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region!

Rich in mirabilite, salt and algae, the lake transforms into a kaleidoscope of vibrant shades of rose, pink, violet and various colors that shift with changes in light, temperature and weather, creating a dreamlike wonderland. This quality has earned the lake its description as "weather lake," as locals can judge the weather by the color of the water. 

The wetlands surrounding the lake serve as lush natural pastures and provide a tranquil haven for wildlife.
