This summer, you must visit Sayram Lake—it's breathtakingly beautiful!

【Scenic Description】 Summer in Xinjiang is truly divine. As Sa Beining once said, "If you haven't been to Sayram Lake, you've wasted your life!" Sayram Lake is located in Bole City, within the Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Nestled on the northern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains, it sits at an altitude of approximately 2,071 meters, making it one of the highest-altitude and largest alpine cold-water lakes in Xinjiang. Lake Water Color: The lake's water is crystal clear and azure blue. Due to the minerals at the lakebed and light refraction, the water displays varying shades of blue and green depending on the season and weather. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and forests, the lake offers stunning views with blooming wildflowers in summer and a snow-covered landscape in winter. The climate around the lake is cool, with an average summer temperature of about 20°C, making it a perfect summer retreat. In winter, the lake freezes over, offering opportunities for ice and snow activities. The surrounding hills and meadows are ideal spots for enjoying the lake's scenery. You can capture breathtaking images of towering pine trees, blue skies, and white clouds—perfect for travel photography or even wedding shoots. It's a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Swan Feeding: Sayram Lake is home to swans that can be fed with bread, steamed buns, or naan. The swans are usually found in three main areas: Kele Yongzhuzi, Swan Water Fun, and the Lakeside Beach. If you believe freedom brings happiness, then the path to freedom is chasing the wind. At Sayram Lake, you can embrace the wind and embark on a soulful journey. The pure and transparent beauty of the lake even makes the wind feel gentle. 【Travel Itinerary】 Fly or take a train directly to Yili (Yining City), then hire a private VIP driver to reach Sayram Lake. A full circle around the lake will reveal numerous must-visit spots, such as Swan Water Fun, Point General Platform, Starry Sky Camping Site, and the Paragliding Club. You can also savor local delicacies like cold-water fish, especially the prized whitefish. 【Preparation Tips】 Rent a car in advance, bring sunscreen, pack a few beautiful dresses for photoshoots, and consider flying a drone (either bring your own or hire a travel photographer for aerial shots to create stunning visuals).
