This breathtakingly beautiful Siberian lake has tourists calling it a garbage pool. What’s the reason?

Nowadays, it can be said that there are more and more holy places for Internet celebrities to check in. A lake located in Novosibirsk, Russia can be said to be picturesque and breathtaking. It attracted many tourists to visit, but after a truth was reported, tourists actually called it a garbage pool.

Many residents of Novosibirsk, including tourists from all over the world, come here to play. Tourists come here by car, motorcycle, and bring barbecue and beer to the lake. Newlyweds take wedding photos by the lake, and mothers who have just given birth also come to the lake to take artistic photos. Many people call this lake a "must-visit fairy tale place."

But experts actually said that this lake is not simple. The TEZ-5 garbage pond of the Siberian Power Generation Company in Novosibirsk can be said to have turned this lake into a tourist attraction. However, this lake is actually a pond dug artificially by the power plant to process lignite residue.

It can be said that the blue color we see is caused by calcium salts and various metal oxides dissolved in water. Lakes contain chemicals. Although those things are non-toxic, due to the high chemical content, if the skin comes into contact with the lake water, it may cause allergic reactions. It can be said that it will have a bad impact on your skin. Not only that, the bottom of the lake is also very muddy, making it difficult to get out once you get stuck. It can be a very dangerous place.
