The Northern Xinjiang loop, I was 'tricked' into coming here by a song

Crossing the Qaidam Basin, the journey is through an endless Gobi, and the destination for the day is Fuyun County. The only reason to stay in Fuyun County is for the place mentioned in the song - Keketuohai. 'My beloved, I am waiting for you in Keketuohai.' Many people remember Keketuohai because of this song, but when they get here, they realize that Keketuohai is not a sea, just like there is no wife in wife cakes. Keketuohai is actually a place name, with Keketuohai Town, Keketuohai Reservoir, but there is no actual sea named Keketuohai. What exists is only the Irtysh River, and the entire Keketuohai scenic area is actually a narrow area formed around this river and the adjacent mountains. Due to its proximity to the border, drones are not allowed here. It takes about an hour to drive from Fuyun County to the Keketuohai scenic area, and cars can only stop outside the entrance of the scenic area. Everyone must get off the car, purchase a ticket, and take the scenic area's shuttle bus to enter (which probably takes another hour). It must be said that almost all scenic spots in Xinjiang have this trick - the ticket price is lowered, but you are forced to buy an additional ticket for the eco-friendly shuttle bus and also have to sit for an hour. The shuttle bus stops at the central area, and from there, you need to walk entirely on foot, which is also a challenge for physical fitness. However, if you are not too demanding about the scenery, it is recommended to just walk to Zhongshan to take a look. The scenery further inside is more or less the same. How should I put it, it's a scenic area that falls under the category of 'since you've come, you might as well visit.' The scenery cannot compare with that of Kanas in Northern Xinjiang, but Fuyun, as an important point on the Northern Xinjiang loop, is still worth a stop.
