Dagetu Lake in Alshaa League, North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region, is one of the five signature wonders of the Badain Jaran Desert.

Its high mineral content gives the lake shifting shades of red throughout the year, from pale pink to deep crimson, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding desert.
