Xinjiang is back, but I really don't recommend going in May-June because...

I've discovered the beautiful secret flower sea at Sailimu Lake! This stunning scenery is a must-share with you all 💐! Quickly save this route + guide, follow it and you definitely won't go wrong 👇 🎨 Sailimu Lake has basically entered "beauty overload mode"! Blue sky and white clouds ☁️ + towering snow-capped mountains 🏔️ + vast meadows full of flowers 🌸, this dreamy combination is simply divine on the spot! The whole scenic area has now turned into a healing green oil painting 🖼️. For those planning to visit during the holidays or later, prepare your guide and just go for it 🚀! Today's guide is packed with practical tips and fun ways to explore, so hurry up and save it for later 🐴~ . 📌1️⃣ Practical tips for Sailimu Lake ✨ ▫️🚗 For self-driving visitors: 143 RMB ▫️🚍 For non-driving tourists: ticket 70 RMB, plus 60 RMB for shuttle bus 🚌, easily explore the scenic area~ . 📌2️⃣ Travel guide 📍 🌺 Poppy flower sea: the "beauty star" of Sailimu Lake, definitely the top flower sea! Located near the East Gate, large patches of poppies sway in the wind, perfect for taking stunning photos in minutes 📸! 💙 Blue flax flowers & big daisies: walk along the counterclockwise lakeside route, although not large-scale, the scattered small flowers are like lace edging the lakeside road 🌼. When you see a beautiful spot, don’t hesitate, get off and take lots of photos! 🌲 Pine Tree Head: near the South Gate, but to reach the viewing spot, you need to climb 40-60 minutes of stairs, but the beautiful view is worth the effort 💪! ⛪ Lighthouse: right opposite the Jinhua Purple Flower rest area, the lighthouse standing by the lake creates a great atmosphere, perfect for artistic shots 🎞️~ 🌊 S Bay: about 10 km from Jinhua Purple Flower rest area towards the South Gate, although very crowded 👥, if you can arrive before 10 AM, you can avoid the crowds and enjoy the peace and beauty alone~ 📸 Guozigou Cliff photo spot: turn left at Sailimu South Gate, find the first parking lot 🅿️, then follow the green hillside boardwalk down. This hidden beautiful spot can easily produce amazing photos 📱! . 📌3️⃣ Travel advice ❌✅ ❌ Windproof jackets are lifesavers! The wind by the lake is strong enough to blow you "dizzy," headache warning ⚠️! Also, the weather changes quickly, sunny days are a luxury, so windproof and warm clothing is a must! ❌ Don’t expect good food in the scenic area! Cold water fish is expensive and may not suit your taste, bring a hearty lunch 🥪 yourself to enjoy the scenery and food at the same time~ ❌ Peak season traffic pain points: buses run in loops and leave when full 🚍, so you can’t stop much for photos. The crowded scenes are overwhelming, so traveling off-peak is very important! .
