About Barkol Lake

I have repeatedly overlooking Lake Barkol, but no chance to come near this mysterious lake. By chance, standing on the East Tianshan "black ditch" of the peak overlooking the north, saw the Barkol Lake, the jewel like a crystal clear, so blue through the heart, and light was charming. A subsequent, large tamarisk Gap Township in passing to the north of the lake, board the top of the hill looking south mountain road looked like a piece of beautiful Lake Barkol Persian carpets, ten thousand rays of shine, the day attached to water, water attached to mountains, rivers and mountains, water days, connected, full of worth of mystery and reverie.
In August, I finally approached the Barkol Lake. Block salt water lake is Barkol plateau lake, about two meters above sea level. Luxuriant growth of grass lake level, there was a person of deep grass high; flocks of sheep into hiding when the body was hidden when Congcao, or merrily on the grass in shallow grazing grass. Rippling water, a little pan-flush, revealing a bit quiet way; wild goose floating water birds, sometimes cruising, but when hovering volley and supple figure skimming over, like a naughty child on the beach, arbitrary, unrestrained . Looking standing height, the whole mountain, grassland, yurt, Pastoral ... everywhere elegant with casual, quiet atmosphere, ears still heard from time to time several more cattle and sheep "Moo, Mian" sounds, as people relaxed and happy.
Barkol Lake also known as "Po class sea", according to legend the origin of the name is still a legend. Han Han Kou beautiful girl, and a sea of Kazakhstan named Po class youth, for the defense of the magic mountain lakes have been launched with a life and death struggle; ultimate magic mountain town of Han Kou was under the Eagle's Nest, tears slowly out of a clear spring, After the names of the said "Han Kou Spring"; and courageous Po magic of sea and mountain fighting, and ultimately die, sink into the lake, which may also Barkol Lake name "Po class sea." Po Han Gu and of sea life with the young and brave, in exchange for permanent peace Barkol Lake was Balikun grassland generation lips.
Po class brought the sea, can not say the magic Eagle's Nest. Eagle's Nest stands in Hainan, Po class shore, separated by miles of sea and Po, echoes. There are several mountain springs, gurgling springs, perennial sea import Po class. Spring in a pool of water clear as a mirror, mirror in the ride, Canruo silver; poet brush inscription "Mirror Quan Su months." Legend has it that bit looks not Young Shepherdess, quiet night alone, Moon came to the spring and disappointed: "May children on children, you were so handsome, why I want to be born so ugly? Han Han Kou Kou Yeah, like you read you, What can I see your face ... "Yuehua Jian fountains, water splash volume face, blink of an eye a miracle, has become tender and beautiful shepherdess pleasant. Later, the shepherd home in the lake before the daughters get married, have to choose clear, bright night came to the fountain to wash hair, dressed in a beautiful gift of prayer face the Han Gu; folklore continues today.
Clear day, Balikun shore is full of magic. When the grasslands in the misty morning sleeping all among the top of Eagle's Nest is already infected with the bright sun rays, the landscape is charming. Tang Xuan Zang Buddhist sutras, through the mountain, marvel at dyeing Shandian, with the stone carving in the mountains, "Dongjun partial intention, sharp peaks of light." According to legend, Tang Xuan Zang is with your fingers to pull the word poetry, authentic reservation date, extremely rare.
