Sayram Lake! Sa Beining, my life is complete!!!

Only after coming here did I realize Teacher Sa was absolutely right!! My life is complete!!😭 The camera simply can’t capture the beauty seen with the naked eye🥹 Sayram Lake is my favorite place in Xinjiang. The glowing lake, flower fields, meadows, swans, snow-capped mountains... Every shot is bursting with life🍃 Like a scene straight out of a comic! 🚘 Recommended route: Enter from the East Gate, drive counterclockwise around the lake, and exit from the South Gate! 📸 Best photo spots: 1️⃣ The poppy flower field at the East Gate entrance 2️⃣ The swan lake at Kelleyongzhu 3️⃣ The viral lighthouse 4️⃣ The hillside of yellow flowers at the South Gate 5️⃣ Pine Tree Head Three essentials for stunning photos at Sayram Lake: 1. Outfits – Opt for bright colors; blue works especially well! But beware, the wind in June is still strong, so bring a thick jacket for sun protection and warmth. 2. Sunshine – The weather at Sayram Lake is unpredictable! It might suddenly turn cloudy with thunder and lightning, but don’t worry—just wait in the car, and it’ll clear up soon. Under the sun, the lake water is crystal clear, glowing blue, and sparkling! 3. Targets – Do your research and head straight to your most desired, photogenic spots! Sayram Lake is vast, and the scenery varies along the way. Feel free to pull over anytime and snap photos at spots you love, but don’t linger too long—there’s so much more to see ahead. A dozen shots per spot should suffice, or you’ll end up with too many similar photos and regret it later. Group tour advice: Avoid tours without a local business license. Avoid tours that don’t provide an electronic contract from the National Tourism Supervision Bureau. Avoid contracts that don’t explicitly state "no shopping, no hidden fees." If paying in full, always ask about the refund policy—can you get a full refund if plans change? Tours that don’t offer full refunds with at least 7 days' notice should be avoided.
