Lake Baskunchak is a salt lake which healing effect excels that of the Dead Sea and Mount Bogdo, which we have already mentioned in one of our previous articles. These are the places of unbelievable beauty!

位于俄罗斯的Baskunchak湖是一个内陆盐湖，较之我们以前介绍过的死海和bogdo山，她具有更好的医疗价值。而更重要的是，那里都有着难得一见的人间美景！

You should take a car ride and drive right on the water to get to Baskunchak.

要去Baskunchak，你最好开一辆车，是的，车就在浅水上行驶。

To get into the water, you should go down the stairs covered in salt.

想要下水么？从这梯子上下去就是了，梯上覆盖的是厚厚的盐层。

There are following facilities on the beach: a shower, a restroom, and a changing room.

这些就是沙滩上仅有的一些设施：冲浴室，洗手间，还有一个更衣室。

They produce salt here, which is transported by train.

他们就在这生产盐，然后用火车运走。

These are the photos of a car ride on Baskunchak. Enjoy!

看看这些在Baskunchak上飞驰的汽车，呵呵，他们在尽情的享受这美好的景色。

Relax! It's not a camouflaged advertising!

你还能淡定么？这可不是电视上演的虚假的广告。

Mount Bogdo can be seen in the distance.

在画面的背景上，我们可以看到Bogdo山。

Mount Bogdo is the highest point of the Astrakhan region. 150 meters!

Bogdo山是俄罗斯阿斯特拉罕地区的制高点，有150米。

According to an old legend, Mount Bogdo used to be located on the bank of the Ural River. One day two saint Kalmyks decided to bring it to the bank of the Volga River. While they were carrying it from one place to another, a sinful thought crossed the mind of one of them and he fell down under the weight of the burden. The mount squashed the man and turned red. Until now one of the sides of the mount is red.

这里有一个古老的传说，据说Bogdo山原来是在乌拉尔河沿岸的。有一天，两个卡尔梅克（古蒙古人）的神仙决定要把这座山搬到伏尔加河边上去。

而正当他们俩正搬着这座山的时候，其中一个人走神了而跌倒了，就这样，大山把他压在了下面，这个人被压死了，而山也被染红了。

直到现在，这个山的一面仍然是红的。
