| The winter of Sayram Lake is just too beautiful!!! Is it worth visiting Sayram Lake in winter?
🌟 First, a few TIPS:
- The lake area is mainly divided into the south and north zones, with a 90km loop around the lake, and it is recommended to spend 1-1.5 days for the visit.
- Friendly for self-driving, starting from Urumqi, take the G30 Lianhuo Expressway to the Sayram Lake exit, and you will arrive at the east gate of the scenic area.
- Only the east gate is open in winter, with the same entry and exit.
- There are no separate dining facilities within the scenic area; all are located in the campsites, which can provide accommodation and have a nice environment.

❤️ This is the second time Sayram Lake's beauty has moved me to tears.
😍 The first time was in the early summer of '17, when the waters of Sayram Lake were icy cold, but the sky was clear, and the Tianshan mountain range was reflected in the lake, like a fairyland. The second time is this winter season, coming for the blue ice, but due to a warm winter this year, it had not yet frozen solid by the end of January. According to friends, by early February, it was finally possible to walk on the ice.
❄️📷 Tips for winter travel photography:
🌈- The temperature difference between day and night at Sayram Lake in winter is significant. At the end of January, it was -11℃ during the day and my temperature measuring equipment showed -21℃ at night. In this weather, protect your equipment well, and avoid getting cold and damp.
🌈- Drones can be easily registered online with a "one mobile phone tour of Sayram Lake" by directly registering the drone ID, which is very convenient. Remember to preheat before taking off, and hover for at least 1-2 minutes.
🌈- When the weather in the lake area is good, the temperature will be lower with increasing altitude. The GPS signal is OK, but due to the low temperature, control is often unstable. When flying to the edge of the lake, try not to rely on the GPS display of the device, it is safer to watch the device with your eyes.
🌈- Pure white clothing is very photogenic, and recently, the young ladies who came to shoot have chosen Klein blue accessories more often. I chose a white-purple combination, which I think also has a cool feeling. In summary, if you can't handle warm colors like red, orange, yellow, cool tones have an indescribable 'aloof' feel, and they are very photogenic!
🌈- Don't miss the blue hour of sunrise and sunset. Xinjiang has a late sunrise and sunset, which is very friendly for friends who have not adjusted to the time difference. Sunrise is around 9 am, and sunset is around 7 pm.
All you want are blue sky and white clouds, grassland forests, snow-capped wild flowers and gem blue lakes. Everything is so perfect. The most collection attractions in Xinjiang must be good weather. It is even worth waiting for good weather there.
It is worth a visit. The last tear in the Atlantic is really pure and flawless. All kinds of blues are in sight. One step at a time is too much to catch.~ is the beauty that the camera can't take. The mountains and waters present different beauty. You can drive in it. Swim, you must obey the command and not drive too fast. The mountains and rivers are different.
Unfortunately, I didn’t see the Sailimu Lake in winter. We went in summer, but it was also beautiful. It was originally a light rain that day, and I was very depressed. As a result, it cleared up after a while. It was super beautiful.
The beautiful scenery is really beautiful!
April 27th, the weather is sunny 🌞 temperature (the weather forecast is 0-5 degrees) wind is super big! Tickets: 143 yuan/person bought on Xie'cheng We are chartered and self-driving. After all, free strategy: I saw Xiaohongshu before saying that it was counterclockwise 🔄 to play. Our driver recommended us to go clockwise. Finally, I went to see the Guozigou Bridge 🌉 as the last picture (Guozigou Bridge: Asia's Second Bridge) 1️⃣ Our play is based on the official parking spot and then go to play! Warm reminder! ! ! Sailimu Lake is very big, everyone is very passionate at the beginning, the attraction in front is going! I don't move to the back. I personally recommend that you don't have to get off the bus in front. After 2 parking spots, you will get off and start playing. There will be a lot fewer people! 2️⃣ There are really many scenery along the way. One of the points worth taking pictures is that there is Sailimu Lake, the rock beach where the monument is located, climb up a little bit and sit down and take pictures. It is very artistic. 4️⃣ The lighthouse is really cold! The coldest place in the whole process 5️⃣ There is a hot air balloon punching point. It is a small one! 6️⃣ Swan Lake 🦢 is our last point. It feels very good! But we are exhausted, so I probably looked at the 7️⃣ Sailimu Lake that didn't go to the group of swans. It came out to the right and the fruit ditch bridge 8️⃣ The grass near the fruit ditch bridge is already green and there are horse riding!
Sailimu Lake is anciently called "Jinghai". It is located in the Beitian Mountain Mountains in Bole City, Bortala Mongolia Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, close to Huocheng County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture. The lake is 2071 meters above sea level, the longest in east and west 29.6 kilometers, and the widest in the north and south 25.7 kilometers. The area is 458 square kilometers and the water storage is 21 billion cubic meters. The lake is clear and transparent, with a transparency of 12 meters.
It rained the day before, and it was foggy when I entered at 9 o'clock the next morning. I was worried that I could not see the last tear in the Atlantic. The traffic police uncle maintained order in the scenic area, and all vehicles were slow to jump. Fortunately, the fog dispersed at 12 o'clock, and the beautiful scenery was displayed in front of you. Snow mountains, lakes, highways, and the beautiful scenery in front of you. There is a feeling of purifying the soul. Just a shot is the price of the blockbuster.
The frozen Sailimu Lake, but left a winter territory for the swans and green ducks, migratory birds in the water or dive into the bottom of the water for food, or flapping their wings to fly, awakening the spring of Sailimu Lake. The "blue ice" of Sailimu Lake, the lake blue and sky blue sealing display in the bright sun, ice clear jade Jie is probably so.
