PHOTOGRAPHY — PAMIER PLATEAU, XJ, CHINA · 4 FRAMES

Bulunkou White Sand Lake, located along National Highway 314 on the Pamir Plateau, is a rare alpine wonder. Over millennia, fierce winds have blown white river sands against the mountain roots, forming endless silver dunes. Complemented by the turquoise glacier-fed waters and the distant Kongur Jiubie Peak, it presents a breathtaking geographical scroll.
