    "The scenery is good and worth a visit, especially when I walked to the lake, I was very excited to see the waves, and it was good to see from afar. The scenery here includes all the essences of Xinjiang. I think it is worth recommending, especially the first scene of Yili in the scenic spot. It is very shocking."
    Bole
    >100km from Tacheng City
    Highlights: Sayram Lake is one of Xinjiang’s famous scenic destinations. The lake sits against snow-covered mountains and is surrounded by vast grassland. All this scenery plus the lake’s clear azure water creates the beauty of a scroll painting. Every year in June and July, the lake's surroundings fill with every color of wildflower, a beautiful sight not to be missed. The lake covers a large area, with a circumference of approximately 60 kilometers. Visitors typically need two days to visit the sights around it. You can also photograph beautiful lakeside sunrises and sunsets.

    Karamay
    >100km from Tacheng City
    Highlights: Located beside China National Highway 217 from Karamay to Burqin County, the Ghost City is a typical Yardang landform. The huge stone pillars of varied shapes in the Gobi make magnificent scenery. The Ghost City is also known as "Wind City." The strong wind blows around stone pillars, wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves, making it scary and seemingly filled with ghosts.

    "All the way to the west to Yining City, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, participate in a day trip to Ctrip, go to Sailimu Lake Road, Cheguan Guozigou Bridge, S-type road through the uphill tunnel to go up the bridge, the bridge is 180 meters from the ground, the scenery on both sides is different, one side is the forest, the other is the grass."
    Huocheng
    >100km from Tacheng City
    Highlights: Guozigou Bridge is a bridge from Sailimu Lake to Guozigou Expressway on National Highway 045. The total length of the bridge is about 700 meters, and the bridge deck is about 200 meters high from the bottom of the valley. It is a cable-stayed high bridge, which integrates the "four new" of new technology, new structure, new technology and new equipment. It is a major breakthrough in the history of highway construction in Xinjiang. After the project is completed and opened to traffic, it will solve the problem of travel difficulties in the Ili River Valley, enabling Ili Prefecture to reach Urumqi around the clock, which is of great significance to the stability and economic development of the border areas. Guozigou Bridge is famous for its three unique and three beauties. One must be beautiful in shape. The bridge is built in an "S" shape due to the continuous mountain road, which is spectacular and generous. The second is the beautiful environment. Guozigou is a beautiful valley in western Xinjiang, with towering peaks and wild flowers in the ditch. The bridge is built in such a beautiful scenery, which is even more beautiful. The three musts are the beautiful viewing angles. When you climb the nearby hills, you can see the whole bridge at a glance. The S-shaped bridge winds in the valley. The beautiful picture has attracted countless domestic and foreign tourists and photography enthusiasts.

    "The Baisha Lake scenic spot in Xinjiang is very characteristic. This is a green state in the desert and a pearl in the desert. The scenery here is so beautiful. You must come and see it when you come to Beijiang for a trip. In summer, you must bring mosquito repellent water to prevent mosquito bites."
    Habahe
    >100km from Tacheng City
    Highlights: Baisha Lake is located in the third company of the 185th Regiment on the northwest side of Habahe County (since the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps is a reclamation regiment mainly composed of militiamen, the regiment and company here refer to an area, and a company is roughly equivalent to a village). It is about 70 kilometers away from Habahe County and about 160 kilometers away from Burqin County. It is a quiet lake surrounded by deserts. There are rolling deserts outside Baisha Lake, but the lakeside is shaded by green trees and the lake surface is sparkling. The strong contrast is very fantastic. Every autumn is a popular season to visit Baisha Lake. At this time, the leaves on the lakeside turn red and yellow, which are very bright and are a good place to shoot red leaves. It is also good to come here in summer. You can see lotus flowers blooming in the lake, which are rare in Xinjiang. It will be very cold here in winter and early spring, and the lake surface will be frozen, which is not suitable for visiting. The Attraction of Baisha Lake is located beside Highway Z840. It is about 2 kilometers from the Attraction to the lake. You can walk there or buy a 10-yuan Round-trip ticket to take a battery car directly to the lake (the battery car is a circular bus, and you can take any one of them when you return). After arriving at the lake, you can walk along the wooden plank road. Strolling along the lake is the main content of visiting Baisha Lake Attraction. The wooden plank road by the lake is about 1 kilometer long. Walking on the plank road, you can enjoy the beautiful lakeside scenery with swaying tree shadows. At the end of the plank road is an observation deck, where the view of the lake is relatively open. There is a sand hill opposite that is reflected on the lake. The picture is beautiful and it is a good place for taking pictures. After playing by the lake, it is recommended to walk back to the gate of the Attraction. Because there is a sand dune between the gate of the Attraction and the lake area to play, the sand dune is not high, and a pavilion is built on the top. It takes about 15 minutes to climb the pavilion from the road. Since Baisha Lake Attraction is very close to the border, you can see the scenery of Kazakhstan on the opposite side nearby. This pavilion is a good viewing point nearby, where you can see the quiet village and woods on the opposite side, with a very wide field of vision. In addition, when you return to the gate of the Attraction, there is a small piece of beautiful birch forest, where you can walk in the forest and take beautiful photos. Dining and accommodation It takes about 3 hours to visit Baisha Lake Attraction . Tourists usually have a meal near the Attraction after visiting the Attraction . Opposite the gate of the Attraction is the location of the third company of the 185th Regiment of the Corps. The residents of the company are all Han people who came from the inland to guard the border. They planted vegetables in their small yards, and basically every family opened a restaurant. If you have eaten heavy-tasting dishes in Xinjiang for a long time, the authentic Han farm dishes with light taste here will definitely make you feel deeply at home. Moreover, the price of dining here is cheap and good, which is very affordable. If you come in summer and autumn, you can also point to seasonal vegetables directly in the vegetable garden and order dishes to taste authentic fresh vegetables. To come to Baisha Lake, you usually charter a car from Burqin or Habahe County. Both places can be Round-trip in one day, and most tourists will return to Burqin County or Habahe County for accommodation. The reception conditions in both places are very good, with hotels and youth hostels of all grades, and rich choices.
