2025 Bole Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

Sayram Lake, historically known as 'Pure Sea,' is located in the northern Tianshan Mountains within Bole City, Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. It is adjacent to Huocheng County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture. Sayram Lake is the highest and largest alpine cold-water lake in Xinjiang. It is the final destination of the warm and humid air currents from the Atlantic Ocean, hence the saying 'the last tear of the Atlantic.' The name 'Sayram' is a phonetic translation from Kazakh, meaning 'blessing (for the safety of Silk Road travelers),' and there is also a Mongolian translation meaning 'lake on the ridge.' It is also known as Santai Haizi, named after the three platforms (Santai) on the eastern shore of the lake, which were established during the Qing Dynasty as the E'lezhuyitu Bomu military post. Address: G30 National Highway, Bole City, Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China

❄ Sayram Lake in real life, it's worth living for! Nothing can stop me from going I can't believe my eyes, Sayram Lake is just beautiful Who says Xinjiang is in the off-season in winter It's so beautiful that it should be promoted on Twitter - ❄ Sayram Lake, with its high density of blue, is known as the "last tear of the Atlantic Ocean💧." In winter, from late December to March, Sayram Lake enters its frozen period, with the lake surface freezing into ice, and stunning scenes of blue ice, bubbles, ice pushes, ice bubbles, ice flowers, and blue ice puzzles appearing one after another...👯‍♀👯‍♀ ❄ Sayram Lake check-in points👇 📍 Moon Bay: You can walk along the boardwalk to the lake, there are 🦢 sailboats on the lake, and there is a 🌙 check-in point in front of the lake 📍 Waterside Beach: Very close to the "Sayram Lake Western Pure Sea" stone, there is also a place nearby where you can have afternoon tea, borrow a camping chair to take pictures by the lake, and you'll get a great atmosphere! 📍 Pointing Platform: You must climb up, and on the left side of the fence you can see the shoreline! Green, yellow, and blue, layered like a stack, running on the grass, it's so beautiful! 📍 Lighthouse: Just ahead of the Pointing Platform is the lighthouse, you can see it when you climb up the Pointing Platform, and there is another lighthouse before you reach the pine tree head, you can take a long shot directly! 📍 Pine Tree Head: If you want to see the panoramic view of the lake, there are actually other places to choose from, but if you want to see the panoramic view of the Guozigou Bridge, it takes about 1-2 hours to climb up the Pine Tree Head, and I think it's a waste of time to go back and forth

In winter, Kanas is free from the crowds and has an extreme primitive beauty 🥹🥹 🏔️ General Mountain: How can you miss skiing in winter? 🏂 Watch the sunset from afar 🌄 and when night falls, the lights on both sides of the ski slope light up one by one, bringing the joy of the southern potatoes to the peak‼️ - ✈️ Recommended itinerary: Day 1: Urumqi - S21 Desert Highway - Altay General Mountain Night Skiing Experience - Altay Day 2: Altay - Ahe Highway - Hemu Day 3: Hemu - Kanas Day 4: Kanas - Devil City - Urho Day 5: Urho - Sayram Lake Day 6: Sayram Lake 90 km around the lake - Urumqi - ⚠️ Notes: 🌟 Winter in Xinjiang is very cold, so be sure to keep warm‼️ Especially in Sayram Lake, where the altitude is high and the wind is strong. 🌟 Hemu and Kanas are local log cabins 🛖 and the temperature is low in winter due to the gaps between the logs, so they are heated by coal ☀️ If you are afraid of the cold, be sure to bring a warm baby. 🌟 There are few places to eat around the entrance of Sayram Lake Scenic Area, and the prices are relatively high, so be sure to check the prices before you spend, and you can also prepare some instant food. - 🌲 Xinjiang has its own charm in every season. ❄️ Winter is cold, but life is all about experience and adventure. ❤️ It's all about the experience and adventure.

On the second day of our Ili trip, we visited Sayram Lake, a must-see attraction. I must say, my luck was incredible. While it had been raining heavily in Yining City for the past few days, we arrived at Sayram Lake to find blue skies, white clouds, and a gentle breeze. We stopped to take photos of the few remaining red flowers by the entrance. The red on the ground, combined with the slightly yellow grasslands and the blue sky, was truly beautiful! A restored post station from the Zhang Qian era stands by the lake, adding a touch of ancient charm. The clear and pristine lake water was irresistible, especially in the hot summer; it felt particularly refreshing to touch. (After leaving the scenic area, we had some whitefish from the lake, and it was fantastic!)

Known as the last tear of the Atlantic, Sailimu Lake boasts a stunning blue hue. The lakeshore is dotted with various attractions, each offering unique scenery. One notable site is an ancient post station where Zhang Qian, an envoy of the Han Dynasty, once stayed during his mission to the Western Regions. The combination of historical significance and breathtaking lake views makes it a highly recommended destination. 🕰️Operating Hours: Opens at 8:00 AM, camping overnight is allowed 📍Address: Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture 💰Average Cost: Adult ticket: 70 RMB/person, Ticket + full shuttle service: 145 RMB/person

Stepping onto the shores of Sayram Lake, I was deeply struck by the breathtaking scenery before me. The water, like a mirror, reflects the blue sky, white clouds, and distant rolling mountains, resembling a delicate ink painting. As the gentle breeze blows, the lake's surface ripples with fine waves, shimmering beautifully. Walking along the lakeside, breathing in the fresh air, my mind found an unprecedented sense of peace and relaxation. Sayram Lake, this mysterious and pure paradise, made me forget the hustle and bustle of the world, immersing myself in the embrace of nature, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Breathtakingly beautiful! Don't hesitate to come to Xinjiang with your sisters for a photo shoot🏕️ A 7-day journey, from forests and grasslands to deserts and Gobi🏜️, we saw mountains⛰️, lakes💧, forests🌲, and grasslands🏕️, with herds of cattle and sheep🐑, and the warm and honest hospitality of the locals💃. We traveled across half of China, capturing every frame before our eyes📷 into stories in our lenses🎞️, turning the places we longed for into the roads we traveled. . ☄️Xinjiang travel tips to avoid pitfalls 1️⃣Don't wear high heels, you'll be walking a lot🦶 every day, and high heels can be exhausting, bring a pair to change into for photos 2️⃣Don't opt for self-driving, a 500km journey each day is no joke.🙅 3️⃣Prepare some medicines in advance, such as intestinal💊, motion sickness, and allergy medications, as it's hard to find pharmacies on the road 4️⃣Sisters with a cleanliness obsession should bring a few shoe covers, as there is a lot of cow dung on the grasslands🐮 . ⭐️Recommended itinerary: Day 1: Warm home🏠 - Pick up from Urumqi airport and check into hotel🏨 Day 2: Urumqi city - Dushanzi Grand Canyon⛰️ - Shuanghe Day 3: Shuanghe - Tour around Sayram Lake - Guozigou Bridge🌉 - Lavender Garden - Liuxing Street Dopamine - Yining🌸 Day 4: Yining - Qiaxi Forest Park/Kuerdening - Narat🌳 Day 5: Narat - Narat Sky Grassland - Narat Town⛲ Day 6: Narat Town -🛣️ Drive through Duku Highway - Tangbula Hundred Mile Gallery - Urumqi Day 7: Urumqi airport drop-off service🛩️ (The entire itinerary was discussed with us by the leader💡, if there are places we want to visit, the leader will try to arrange them)

Life is a wilderness, not a track, hearing a thousand times is not as good as seeing once. Here's a route reference D1: From various places, arrive in Urumqi D2: Urumqi—Sayram Lake—Guozigou Bridge—Ili D3: Ili—Xia'ta—Tekes Hexagonal Town D4: Tekes—Qiongkushitai—Gongliu D5: Gongliu—Qiaxi—Nalati—Northern Section of Duku Highway—Kuqa D6: Kuqa—Kashgar—Kashgar Old City D7: Kashgar—Bai Sha Lake—Muztagh D8: Kashgar—Turpan D9: Turpan—Kumtag Desert—Urumqi Precautions: Remember to rent a car in advance on Ctrip or other reliable platforms before departure, it is recommended to place an order on the platform for security. (Insurance is a must because the distances between each scenic spot in Xinjiang are far, and the driving distance is long, in case of emergency) Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night, prepare 1-2 pieces of thick clothing.! For the long self-driving journey, remember to go to the supermarket to purchase some food for when you get hungry on the road and to replenish energy. Remember to bring your ID card and student ID, if you go to southern Xinjiang or some scenic spots in Kanas, you need to apply for a border pass, which can be done at a nearby police station. Travel tips and outfit suggestions: 1. Remember to wear brightly colored clothes on the grasslands for better photos (such as yellow, pink, purple, etc.). 2. You must visit the pine trees at Sayram Lake, although it's tiring and you may want to give up many times, as long as you persist to the top you will find it's all worth it as you can overlook the entire panorama of Sayram Lake and Guozigou Bridge. 3. Bring some sunglasses and hats for sun protection and also as a fashionable item for better photos (girls can buy a triangular scarf to wear on their head for amazing photos). ps: 'Northern Xinjiang for scenery, Southern Xinjiang for culture', the moment you arrive in Xinjiang, your story begins. Every moment is like a movie playing, the beauty of Xinjiang, no words in this world are enough to describe it.

💚Every day here is like living in a fairy tale, under the snow-capped mountains🏔️, it's so beautiful that it doesn't seem like the real world. 📝Every day on the small loop of Yili is like living in a fairy tale. 🙏Thanks to this healing and redemption from nature, every moment has enriched my life💚. ✨Sharing some personal experiences and tips for friends who are about to set off👇🏻 🚗Itinerary reference: 📅DAY1: Hangzhou-Lanzhou (transfer)-Yining Airport 📅DAY2: Yining-Sayram Lake-Guozigou-Qingshui River 📅DAY3: Qingshui River-Chaxi Forest Park-Tekes Bagua City 📅DAY4: Tekes-Junggar Plateau-Back Mountain (horse riding)-Tekes 📅DAY6: Tekes-Aktas-Tianma Bathing River-Yuhu-Zhaosu 📅DAY7: Zhaosu-Shata Hiking-Return to Yining 📅DAY8: Yining-Chengdu (transfer)-Hangzhou ✔Practical information: 💰Now the prices in Yili are rising, and the Duku Highway is about to open, book as early as possible! This year is not suitable for budget travel, the experience will not be too good. We average 1w per person (including airfare/charter/accommodation/buying special products, etc.) ✈It is recommended that friends with tight time fly directly to Yining, which saves a lot of car time than Urumqi. It only takes 2-3 hours to go anywhere from Yining, except for rushing to the plane at the beginning and end, five or six days of pure play is enough 🌿The several large grasslands in Yili have similarities, and you can choose two or three to go ✅Nalati: High-altitude grassland, popular place with large crowds, self-driving 300/person, good road conditions and complete supporting facilities, suitable for parent-child/family/self-driving tours ✅Karakojun: Human-shaped grassland, large scenic area, can't drive by yourself, can only take the shuttle bus, charge by section. More suitable for hiking enthusiasts to cross ✅Junggar Plateau: There are mountain roads inside, easy to get carsick and traffic jam. You can only ride a horse to the back mountain, but the scenery along the way is stunningly beautiful and shocking! There are many homestays but expensive, if conditions permit, you can stay for one night, or you can return to Tekes on the same day ✅Chaxi: High cost performance, 30/person can drive Chata loop line, can go to Chaxi Park and Tarim two places. But the loop line is a non-paved road surface, the road conditions are poor, it tests the vehicle and technology, it is recommended to use off-road vehicles ✅Shata: Ticket 80+shuttle bus 30/person. It is a must-go place for hiking enthusiasts, and it is the only scenic spot that can get close to the snow mountain! But the experience is good or bad related to the weather and the flow of people 📌There are also niche points such as Aktas/Kurdining/Tangbula Grassland, etc. ⚠️Sayram Lake/Junggar Back Mountain/Shata and other places are prone to change, the temperature difference is large, it is recommended to carry a thick coat 👗Wear white/red/light-colored slim and elegant dresses by the lake, floral/blue and white/bright/pastoral or mountain style in the forest and grassland, the principle is to wear high saturation colors, avoid black or green (black should wear suspenders to show more skin, green is easy to blend in) 🧳Must bring: U-shaped neck pillow/disposable slippers/face mask/moisturizing spray/body lotion/sunscreen/umbrella/sunglasses/power bank/motion sickness medicine/dental floss (eating meat every day is easy to get stuck in the teeth😂) 🤩Beautiful Xinjiang, it's worth us to go a long way!

The recent sunset time of Sailimu Lake is 19:15, the sunrise time is 10:10, the highest temperature is -5, the lowest is -14, and the recent weather of Sailimu Lake is very good. Moreover, the weather forecast of Sailimu Lake is not very accurate. Several times the forecast is cloudy or overcast, but when I arrive at Sailimu Lake, it is sunny. So I always tell tourists that Sailimu Lake really depends on luck! It is suggested to drive by oneself or pack a small group for free travel to Sailimu Lake, which is very convenient. I have prepared a hot pot for the snow field. It's really comfortable to eat hot pot while watching the sunset! The ice pushing of Sailimu Lake is about to start.

First, let's go to Sailimu Lake in Xinjiang. This place, known as the 'last tear of the Atlantic', its beauty is unforgettable. The scenery in the picture is amazing, making one feel as if they are in a fairyland. Then, we came to the Chunyang Line of Qiandao Lake. The first time we passed by, we accidentally found a small parking area, the scenery in the misty rain was stunning. The second time we passed by, the sun was shining, the scenery was beautiful, but it lacked some charm. Next, we came to the Imperial Kiln Museum in Jingdezhen. It was a cloudy day, so we didn't see its interplay of light and shadow, but the charm of the architecture still moved us. In a village in Nanxun, Huzhou, we experienced the freshness and tranquility away from the hustle and bustle. The greenery everywhere gives a refreshing and healing feeling. Next is Moganshan in Huzhou. In the early summer, the weather is slightly hot, but the gentle breeze makes one immerse in the countryside. Then we came to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, the tranquility and devotion here inspire respect. May all wishes come true, and all hopes be fulfilled! Next is Xiaoqikong in Libo. Fang Qi once said: 'If there is only one chance to appreciate the mountains and rivers in this life, leave it to Libo!' This sentence deeply moved me. Then comes Huangguoshu Waterfall. It's a pity not to come to Huangguoshu Waterfall in the peak season, but you won't regret it if you do. The Huangguoshu Waterfall in the flood season is extremely magnificent, if Xiaoqikong is a small family jade, then Huangguoshu is a big family lady. Finally, Chengdu. In the hot summer, feel the enthusiasm and vitality of Chengdu! As for Qiandao Lake, after the nth visit, we crazily absorbed oxygen, feeling the beautiful scenery of misty rain entering Jiangnan, and the mountains and rivers dyed like ink. Looking back on 2023, we have visited many places we have never reached, and captured countless unforgettable moments. Every place has left our footprints and laughter, becoming our common memories.

On this special day, the beauty of Sayram Lake is so unique and spectacular, only with the naked eye can you fully appreciate its charm.

Many people should be familiar with the Sayram Lake in summer, with snow-capped mountains, flowers, swans, and blue lakes. But the Sayram Lake in winter seems to be silent, here is only blue and white, the surrounding snow-capped mountains are all white. I believe what attracts everyone to Sayram Lake in winter must be the 'blue ice', we also came to find out, to see if 'there is a kind of blue called Sayram Lake' will continue into winter, and there are magical ice bubbles in the blue ice. The Sayram Lake in winter has several kinds of blue, the blue of the sky and the light blue of the ice surface. The frozen lake surface does not have the pure blue of summer, but a bit of dark blue, ice bubbles can be seen everywhere, although many ice cracks make people a bit awe-inspiring, but the thickness of the ice surface in winter allows you to play on the ice surface. Tips： 1.Unlike everyone's understanding that the entire Sayram Lake is a blue ice surface, the scenic area will open up a few small areas, clear the snow on the ice surface, so that you can see the blue ice surface, maybe before the heavy snow someone can encounter the Sayram Lake where the ice is not all white. 2.The blue ice of Sayram Lake is actually not blue, it can only be considered light blue, it will be more obvious under the blue sky and white clouds on a sunny day, and there is still a big gap with the blue ice in Tibet. 3.There is also accommodation in the Sayram Lake scenic area in winter, even if the hotel provides heating equipment such as air conditioning and electric blankets, the Sayram Lake in the morning and evening is still very cold, the kind of chilling cold. Of course, don't underestimate the cold resistance of people from the south, for the wet cold of the south, the cold of other regions that freezes the skin but not the bones can still resist, of course, we must always respect nature.
