Silk Road Photo Gallery - Alxa League 5 Lakes
Guitar Lake

The journey from Camel Lake to the 4th and 5th lakes was relatively smooth. There were plenty of sand dunes to navigate through but the worst was behind us. Guitar is right at the end of the desert and just a short trip back to the main road, where the driver inflated the tires to drive on normal roads.

Similar to the other lakes, you won't be able to see the vivid colours from the shores. The drone is essential to truly appreciate it.

Nevertheless, you are still in the middle of the desert.

We didn't make an official stop by the 4th lake. This is because there looked like a gate and someone guarding it, which I presumed is to charge admission. So far throughout our journey, all lakes have been free to visit. Instead, the driver stopped along the sand dunes and I sent my drone up to see if it's worth going in.

The colours were not interesting, although the sheep grazing below was.
