⛰【Attractions Guide】
The scenic spot ticket 🎫 is 145
There are not so many flowers in Sailimu Lake in mid-to-late July, but you can still find a few small patches of flowers.
The place where we took photos used to be full of flowers, but now it’s mostly grass. But it looks good this way. You can just run around in a white dress and interact with your friends. Then the scenery is still affected by the weather. The Sailimu Lake on a sunny day must be the most beautiful. The blue of the lake can be perfectly displayed. The day we went there happened to be cloudy⛅There was a little sunshine from time to time, so we chased the sun to take photos📸
💛【Warm Tips】
The Sailimu Lake Scenic Area is still cold even in July. The wind is very strong, so friends who want to take photos are advised to put on a thick coat outside, don’t catch a cold!

Sailimu Lake is backed by snow-capped mountains, with clear blue water and a large grassland on the shore. Every summer, the grassland is interspersed with various wild flowers, which are colorful! Different angles of sunlight can create different colors and scenery. Blue sky, white clouds, green grass, gray roads, they form a beautiful picture with this pure and charming emerald blue! As the highest and largest alpine lake in Xinjiang, the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean, it is a beautiful scenery no matter how you shoot it! The lake is 2071 meters above sea level, 30 kilometers long from east to west, 25 kilometers wide from north to south, and covers an area of 453 square kilometers! The lake is clear and transparent, and the hillsides on the shore are covered with wild flowers. The herdsmen's yurts and sheep and horses are dotted. It takes more than an hour to go around the lake for 100 miles. There is not enough scenery to see, and there are endless poems to sigh! The water is clear to the bottom at the first and second parking spots when entering the scenic area from the south gate, like a huge sapphire inlaid in the mountains. The rare crystal clearness of the lake and the beauty of the green flowers intertwined by the lakeside The ticket price for the scenic spot is 75 yuan per person. You can enter by car. You can go from south to east or from east to south around the lake. Keleyongzhu, Xihai Grassland, Dianjiangtai, Huahai, etc. are all worth visiting! Suggestions Even if you come here in summer in June and July, it is recommended to bring a thin down jacket, after all, the temperature difference is large! Try to bring more dry food, after all, it is not easy to find food in Xinjiang, and it is also relatively expensive! It is recommended to drive there, and you can stop at any time to see the beautiful scenery!
🍃Xinjiang Sailimu Lake, the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean Sailimu Lake is the highest and largest lake in Xinjiang. It is like a bright sapphire hanging high below the western foot of Tianshan Mountain. The transparency of the lake water is the highest among all alpine lakes in the country. The beautiful scenery of Sailimu Lake seen on a clear day is no different from the blue sea. 🌟Route: There are three gates in the scenic area: east, south and north. The east gate can go to Urumqi and Bole City, the south gate can go to Yining City, and the north gate can go to Bole City. We entered from the east gate and left from the south gate. The exit of the south gate is the highway. 📸Must-experience for tourism ❶Plank road around the lake The color of Sailimu Lake can change into different colors according to the sunlight. There are many hydrophilic wooden plank roads around the lake, where you can play with stones and throw them into the lake. It is beautiful to take pictures. ❷Eat alpine salmon Because the lake is at a high altitude, the water is very cold, and ordinary freshwater fish cannot survive here. There were no fish in the lake before. Later, the scenic spot introduced cold-water fish from Russia, and the lake had fish. Now it has become a must-try delicacy for many tourists-alpine salmon. ❸See the swans in Siberia There are many wild swans living by the Sayram Lake. You can get close and take photos with them. ❹See the stars There is no light pollution here, and the starry sky is beautiful. 💰Tickets: There are four types of tickets ①Pure ticket is 70 (it was still free when we went) ②Interval ticket is about 72 ③Ticket + interval bus package is about 142 ❹We drove by ourselves, so we didn’t need to buy tickets. We bought a self-driving ticket, which cost 350 yuan per car. 🍃Address: Sailimu Lake Scenic Area, Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang 🧭Opening hours: 9:30 am - 5:00 pm 🚌Traffic guide: It takes 3 hours to drive from Yining to Sailimu Lake.

This is the last place favored by the warm and humid air currents of the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic Ocean shed its last tear here💧, thus creating such a blue and pure Sailimu Lake. When you come to Sailimu Lake in winter, the surprise is not only to see the mountains, the lake and the snow scenery, but also the beautiful wonders of high latitudes - blue ice🧊 Blue ice is formed by the flowing lake water pushing the melted ice to the shore. It is a common sight when the lake ice gradually melts from February to April every year. We came to Sailimu Lake at the end of December and were extremely lucky to meet blue ice🧊. We must be children blessed by the god of luck! The moment we approached the blue ice, the anxiety and uncertainty of the past year seemed to disappear... The hardships and tossing on the road across thousands of kilometers✈️, everything is worth it! The pure and transparent ice cubes shine mysteriously in the sun ☀️~ It is not inferior to the diamond beach in Iceland, as if it is a sapphire that has fallen to the earth, but it is a pity that it cannot be taken away~ The snow-capped mountains in the distance are as green as blue, The Sai Lake under the snow-capped mountains is sparkling, The blue ice in front of you is crystal clear... No matter how beautiful the words are, they cannot summarize the ❄️ winter wonderland in front of you. I want to engrave this scene in my mind and take it home~ What is more gratifying is that there are only four of us by the lake. How happy it is to contract such a beautiful scenery! 📍Blue ice check-in point: After entering the scenic area and driving along the lake road for a while, pay attention to the wooden pavilion along the lake and the wooden plank road winding to the lake as shown in Figure 9 outside the left window. Walk along the wooden plank road to the lake, and the blue ice 🧊 will soon appear! After the snow, the blue ice here may also be covered by snow. It is not ruled out that new blue ice will appear on the lakeside in other locations. Just look out the window and look for the blue lakeshore in the picture along the way! ⭐️This issue recommends: Sailimu Lake 📍Detailed address: Beside National Highway 30, Bole City, Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang ✈️Transportation strategy: Direct flight or transfer to Yining Airport, from Yining City🚗Charge a car to the scenic spot for about 140 kilometers It is not recommended to drive from Urumqi, the road is long, and there are many variables on the way in ice and snow 🎫Tickets: Currently free tickets, self-driving requires 75 yuan/person ⏰Opening hours: 10:00-19:00, stop entering at 19:00 No need to go to Iceland, no need to go to Lake Baikal, come to the beautiful Xinjiang! In addition to blue ice, there is also bubble ice, everything you want to see is here~ Qinghai is the fairy lake in Wei Yihang's dream, and the fairy lake in my heart is none other than Sailimu Lake!
You don’t know the beauty of Xinjiang until you go to Yili. Here there are hidden flowers that beat all other beauties. If you have never been to Xinjiang, you will never be able to imagine how big Xinjiang is; if you have never been to Yili, you will never know how beautiful Xinjiang is. When most parts of the country enter the warm spring, the ice and snow in Yili have not yet melted. When other places welcome the summer, Yili has just begun to enter the early spring. The spring in Yili comes later, but it seems like a grand flower event that has been brewing for a long time, and it is stunningly beautiful!
