I have something to say after staying at Sayram Lake for 2 days

Sayram Lake is known as 'the last tear of the Atlantic'. Many people do not understand how Sayram Lake in Xinjiang is related to the distant Atlantic Ocean, thinking it is a mistake. In fact, it is not. The warm and humid air currents from the Atlantic travel a long distance and are unable to cross the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains, so they linger here. Affected by the orographic lift, abundant precipitation is formed and gathered in this high mountain basin. Therefore, Sayram Lake is also known as 'the last tear of the Atlantic'. The Sayram Lake scenic area is divided into six functional zones: the lake view tour area, the grassland nomadic area, the ecological landscape conservation area, the swan and other rare bird habitat protection area, the tourism comprehensive service area, and the original ecological environment conservation area. 🌟Main attractions recommended: Heart of the Lake Island|Pine Tree Top|Kele Yongzhu|Moon Bay|West Sea Grassland 🗓Route arrangement: East Gate Visitor Center-South Gate-Golden Flowers and Purple Plants-Kele Yongzhu-West Sea Grassland-Swan Enjoying Water-Pointing Platform-Khan Bay-Film and Television City-North Gate-Sail Stream-Borohoro Mountain-Santai Grassland-Moon Bay-East Gate Visitor Center 🎫Ticket purchase guide: 1.

Taking the scenic area sightseeing bus Take the scenic area sightseeing bus, you need to register and board at the visitor center waiting point. The bus travels around the lake. You need to wait for the sightseeing bus at the waiting station in the scenic area. The sightseeing bus departs every 10 minutes, with the earliest departure at 09:45 and the latest at 20:00. 📷Shooting positions: 1 Golden Flowers and Purple Plants: Swans can be seen on the south bank, and the sunset glow can be captured in the evening. In summer, countless wildflowers can be seen here. Running here in a light blue floral dress is especially healing. 2 Pine Tree Top: Walk up to the top of the mountain to see the full view of the Guozigou Bridge. The surrounding continuous hills make it seem like you've stepped into a fairy tale world, but be sure to protect yourself from the sun. 3 Water-friendly Beach: Close contact with white swans. 4 Kele Yongzhu: Be sure to stand in the center of the Silver Moon Lake, shoot from a distance to capture the shock of nature, and you can also photograph swans. 5. S-bend Road: Unlike the popular Kangding Airport road, this road is particularly romantic, corresponding to snow mountains, lakes, and wildflower grasslands. It is vast and everyone should take the time to visit. 6 Moon Bay: Enter from the East Gate and walk along the plank road to witness snow mountains, grasslands, and windmills. 🏨Accommodation recommendations: There are hotels and log cabins at the entrance of the scenic area, the East Gate, and many RV camping sites and Mongolian yurts in the scenic area. I also saw some friends camping by themselves~ It's a good idea to learn about accommodation in advance!! Accommodation in the scenic area is a bit expensive but worth it, or you can choose to stay in Yining City. 📝Note tips: 1 After entering the scenic area, it is recommended to choose the southern route to tour around the lake. Self-driving tour around the lake requires parking vehicles at parking points. 2 There is a large temperature difference between day and night in the scenic area, so it is recommended to bring warm coats, long-sleeved clothes, or down jackets, etc.
