Morning glow of Lake Sairim was beautiful enough until Sunrise.

#travelgirls #trip #tripblazers #tripmoments #100waysoftravel #historicallandmarks #localguides 💞Reasons to Recommend: I thought the morning glow of Lake Sairim was beautiful enough until Sunrise. live in Xinjiang... It's really healing. Traveling alone is really addictive. One person can go to any destination ~ What is on the other side of the mountain? You don't have to tell me. I'll go and see it myself. Location: Lake Sairim (Sayram Lake in English) is located in the Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, in the southwest of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, close to the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in the south. The lake is about 90 kilometers away from Bole City and is adjacent to the border with Kazakhstan, less than 50 km away. Tips: • Best time to visit: June to August is an excellent time when the grass is green, wildflowers are in full bloom, and the weather is relatively pleasant. Each season has its own unique beauty here. In spring (April - May), there is the spectacle of blue ice; autumn (September - October) offers the view of golden grasslands and snow-capped mountains; and winter (November - March) features magical blue ice and layered ice bubbles. • Transportation: • Self-driving: This is highly recommended. The drive from Bole City to Lake Sairim takes about one hour. • By public transportation: There is a tourist special line starting from the terminal of the Bole Station bus and returning from the parking lot behind the tourist center. The one-way fare is 30 yuan per person. • Accommodation: There are hotels outside the scenic area which are relatively concentrated for convenience. Inside the scenic area, there are characteristic accommodations such as RVs and yurts, which are convenient for watching the sunrise in the morning and the starry sky at night. • Food: You can taste local delicacies such as Xinjiang barbecue, hand-held mutton rice, and various dairy products. High white salmon is also a specialty here. Recommendation: • Scenic spots: There are many beautiful spots around the lake. For example, "S-bend" is great for seeing the sunrise and the harmonious view of the curved road, distant snow-capped mountains, and the vast lake in the early morning. "Lighthouse" is a popular photo spot. "Jinhua Zihui" is a good place for flower viewing in summer. "Kele Yongzhu" is where swans often appear, and there is a spring, so it doesn't freeze in winter. "Xihai Grassland" is suitable for watching the sunrise and enjoying the snow-capped mountains, and is also a good place for summer flower viewing. "Swan Water Play" area is where you can often see swans. • Activities: You can take a walk along the lake, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and take photos. If you like, you can also go horseback riding around the lake to experience the unique charm of the prairie and the lake.
