📣 The Beeswax Lake in the Dacaidan Emerald Lake Scenic Area is absolutely, unbelievably beautiful! The photos📸 come out amazing. Sisters visiting Emerald Lake, don’t miss this or you’ll really cry!
▪️ The scenic area’s small train🚞 only goes to the main Emerald Lake core scenic area. After reaching the small train🚞 terminal at Emerald Lake, you can hike 30 minutes for free🆓 to see the super beautiful Beeswax Lake (saving the 400 yuan for a private off-road vehicle).
▪️ Detailed guide below⬇️:
1️⃣ Walk to the P4 Couple Lake sign
2️⃣ Walk counterclockwise along Couple Lake towards the P5 base station for about 5 minutes
3️⃣ Follow the worn path on the left side of the base station for about 25 minutes until you see the P6 white house—that area is Beeswax Lake.
✅ Near the white house, there are multiple Beeswax Lakes with varying shades of color. Enjoy and take plenty of photos📸.
❤️ Friendly tips:
▪️ Try to arrive at least an hour before sunset🌞 for better lighting and more great shots. If you want to enjoy and take more photos, come even earlier.
▪️ The last small train🚞 back from Emerald Lake scenic area departs at 8:30 PM in summer and 8:00 PM in winter. Please allow enough time to return from Beeswax Lake and don’t stay too late.
▪️ Wear comfortable thick-soled shoes. The paths by the lake are hard with small sharp salt soil points.
