[2024 Ejin Banner Attraction] Travel Guide for Juyan Lake (Updated Sep)

I finally made up for the regret that I passed through Juyanhai two years ago and did not enter the scenic spot: It turns out that it is worth a visit! Juyanhai Alashan in Inner Mongolia, although called "sea", is actually a lake. A clear blue lake, surrounded by spectacular reeds, with broom-like flowers on the top, in the glow of the rising and curtaining, each one is set with a golden glow. Splendid in the desert of the desert. There are thousands of red-billed seagulls flying in the sea, or flying in the air, or resting in the reeds, lakes, or playing with people. As the sun rises slowly, the red-billed seagull screams through the sky, adding vitality to the sleepy night of Juyanhai. Red-billed gulls, they are completely not afraid of people, swaying along the plank road, interacting with the tourists who came to watch the sunrise, enjoying the pleasant life here. This trip is accompanied by Rui Kang, and Wei Wei happens to send guests from Jiuquan, so we met with our two full-time drivers, the last time (when I met) It was Hulunbeier in eastern Inner Mongolia in 2015. This time, in the Ejina Banner in western Inner Mongolia, we all have stories with Inner Mongolia...

The first ray of sunshine in the morning.

We drove a motorhome from Lanzhou to Ejina Banner, and came to Juyan Lake in the off-peak period, and saw the long-awaited sunrise☀️ First, let's talk about why we chose a motorhome? 1. The motorhome is equipped with a butler service, which can drive and take care of children 2. One family and one motorhome, more private, more free, and more worry-free 3. The motorhome has an independent bathroom with shower function, refrigerator, kitchen, bed... When the child wants to go to the toilet, wants to sleep, wants to drink water, wants to eat, it can be satisfied at any time. The motorhome is the best way to travel with children and can free parents' hands... Motorhome travel is actually a modern version of nomadic life. Drive the motorhome to the long-awaited destination and temporarily settle down there. This experience is a rare experience in life. There are 3 viewing piers in Juyan Lake. The nearest one to the entrance of the scenic spot is Pier 2. Pier 1 and Pier 3 are the most beautiful for watching the sunrise, but there are also the most people. The sunrise in Juyan Lake is the most unmissable. Juyan Lake is located in the north of Ejina Banner, Alxa League, Inner Mongolia. It is narrow and curved, like a new moon. The Ejina River flows into the lake, which is the main source of water supply for Juyan Lake. Juyan Lake is composed of two split lakes. The west lake is called Gashun Lake, and the east lake is called Subo Lake. The lake is rippling with blue waves, and the lake is full of reeds. There are carp, grass carp and other fish in the lake, and swans, wild geese, and ducks often come here to inhabit. The spectacular scenery of Wang Bo's "The sunset and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the long sky" originated from here. Juyan Lake was once one of the largest lakes in the northwest in ancient times, a huge oasis in the desert. After that, it was completely dry here. Now, after many years of rectification, the surface of Juyan Lake has finally recovered.

Waiting for the sunrise at Juyanhai is truly wonderful

Juyanhai is the terminal lake of China's second largest inland river, the Heihe River, and was one of the largest lakes in the northwest in prehistoric times, as well as one of the four great desert lakes in China. Water birds and reed marshes are its two treasures, with the lake's clear waves rippling and the heavy reed flowers in the vast reed marshes bending the branches and swaying in the wind. Various water birds inhabit here, and the Juyanhai wetland is an important passage on the migratory route of migratory birds crossing borders. The morning sun shining on the reed marshes has a unique charm. Blue sky, white clouds, clear water, reeds, seagulls, sunset, every moment is breathtakingly beautiful. The azure lake water, the dense wetlands, and the graceful poplar trees in the distance form a unique landscape between the north side of the Badain Jaran Desert and the 800-mile Gobi no-man's land to the west. The Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei's verse 'A solitary smoke in the vast desert straight, the long river sunset round' was created at Juyanhai. When the wind rises in Ejin, the sand falls in Beijing city. In the early years, the sandstorms in Beijing in spring were very severe. The expedition team traced the wind upwards and went west to investigate the source of the sandstorm, and found that the historically famous Juyanhai had almost dried up, and the historically famous oasis had almost been desertified, with large areas of poplar forest dead. After years of management, Juyanhai now covers an area of more than 60 square kilometers, with clear waves on the lake surface and reeds growing on the lakeside, with the morning glow and seagulls flying together. Therefore, watching the sunrise at Juyanhai has now become a tourist hotspot.

Ejina Banner: Watching the sunrise over Juyanhai

📍 Juyanhai is actually a lake with a large water area. It is the second largest inland river in our country - the terminal lake of the Heihe River, located about 40 kilometers north of the Ejina Banner in the Alxa League of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. 🌟 Juyanhai was called Juyan Ze during the Han Dynasty and Juyanhai during the Tang Dynasty. Originating from the Heihe River deep in the Qilian Mountains, it flows through the three provinces and regions of Qinghai, Gansu, and Inner Mongolia for more than 800 kilometers, and then merges into two Gobi depressions on the northwest edge of the Badain Jaran Desert, forming two large lakes, east and west, collectively known as Juyanhai. 🌟 Due to climate change, insufficient water resources, and other factors, the west and east Juyanhai dried up in 1961 and 1992, respectively. By 1999, the river channels within the territory of Ejina Banner had experienced over 200 days of disruption, leading to problems such as declining groundwater levels, shrinking oasis areas, and increasing sandstorm weather. 🌟 'The small Juyanhai is connected to Zhongnanhai.' The rapidly deteriorating ecology of the Ejina region has attracted high attention from the Central Committee of the Party and the State Council. The State Council has held several meetings to study the ecological construction of the Heihe River Basin, and in 2000, the water of the Heihe River finally flowed into the dried-up East Juyanhai. Since 2005, East Juyanhai has achieved historical continuity without drying up. 👍 Juyanhai is a must-visit spot for tourists to Ejina Banner·Alxa. The lake oasis in the vast desert wilderness is very eye-catching, especially in the early morning light, when the lake surface, aquatic plants, birds, and joyful tourists form a beautiful landscape under the shining sun and moon. 📝 Note tips: The sunrise is around 6:30 in the morning, and the temperature is about 10°C. Get up early to hit the road and wear a coat!

Juyanhai - Watching the most beautiful sunrise in the reed marshes

✈️ There is a beautiful place 40 kilometers north of Dalaihubu Town, Ejina Banner, Alxa League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which is Juyanhai. Watching the magnificent sunrise here is the most brilliant. 🛺 In order to watch the sunrise, we got up early. When we arrived at Juyanhai, there were already many people who had arrived earlier. When we saw Juyanhai from a distance, the first thing we saw was the endless reeds fluttering in the wind and the seagulls soaring in the blue sky among the reeds. Walking on the ancient Juyan road, just for that brilliant. The sunrise did not disappoint everyone's expectations, and it rose slowly on the sea level on time. The plank road, reeds, and fresh sea water under the light and shadow form a beautiful picture, which will intoxicate many tourists. I can't help but sigh that such a vibrant water country can survive in the vast desert and desolate Gobi.

Therefore, watching the migratory birds in the Juyanhai sunrise is also a good choice. The seagull is also the biggest highlight of the sunrise in Juyanhai. The sky is still not bright. The seagulls here are waiting to be fed on the edge of the boardwalk. The seagulls fly in the lake and the waves ripple. The shores of the grass are swaying, full of sunshine, very spectacular. At the moment of sunrise, the changing light and shadow, alternating colors, achieved the perfect highlight moment of Juyanhai.

Juyanhai is the tail lake of the Heihe River, the second largest inland river in China. Han Shi was named Yanze, and Tang Dynasty was called Yanhai. He originated from the Heihe River in the depths of the Qilian Mountains. After flowing through the Qinghai, Gansu and Inner Mongolia provinces for more than 800 kilometers, he merged into two Gobi depressions on the northwestern edge of the Badain Jaran Desert. The two major lakes in the east and west are collectively referred to as Yanhai. The wind started from Jina, and the sand fell to Beijing. The small Juyan Sea is also associated with Beijing's Zhongnanhai. The battle against sand and sand control has finally come into effect. Now there are a few Jinna in the Yanhai Sea, and there are few deserts. Many wasteland are planted with Haloxylon ammodendron and other plants.

There are many people in Juyanhai. Everyone has their own story. Whether its lively or deserted, this place will always be blue and clear. Every day, seabirds will fly to meet the sunrise, even on cloudy days. The elves also have a way to make themselves happy. We are also the same. Whether you are traveling or working and living in your own city, you must maintain a passionate initial heart so that you can make yourself happy.

Many people come to Yanhai to watch the sunrise. At 6 o'clock in the morning, you can buy tickets to enter Juyanhai. The sky is not yet bright. The gates are crowded with people waiting for the sunrise. They enter the scenic spot, along the wooden plank road, the sand, the Gobi, and the surface of the water. And those who can't wait to wait for the sunrise, every viewing platform is full, and the armed forces are looking forward to the direction of the sunrise. The scenic spot also prepares some night camps for tourists, conveniently in Juyanhai. Shooting sunrise and sunset, but during the 11th period, Juyanhai has a large temperature difference between night and night, and compared with Dalaihubu Town, which is more than ten kilometers away, the temperature in Juyanhai is lower, and the surrounding area is empty and windy and sandy. Friends pay attention to keep warm, in early October, at 6 o'clock in the morning, Yan Yanhai wearing a jacket with a cotton hat will tremble coldly, and watching the sunrise in Juyanhai is also to fight luck. Juyanhai is divided into Dongjuyanhai and Xijuyanhai. Nowadays, Juyanhai generally refers to Dongjuyanhai. It is known as the Gobi Lake, which is known as the Gobi Pearl. It originated from the black of Qilian Mountain. The area of the lake formed by the injection of the river is constantly changing with the amount of water in the Black River. Because of the shortage of water resources in Inner Mongolia, the locals are used to calling the lake Haizi.
