Listening to friends around me said that the food in Xinjiang is super delicious. I feel that the dishes in Xinjiang are very unrestrained, so I have been unmoved and have not longed for it. This time I came to Xinjiang, and the first meal I had eaten on the plane subverted my imagination of Xinjiang cuisine. This time with friends, the restaurant has a long table that can sit on the ground. The length of Xinjiang is very similar to pizza, which is slightly harder than pizza. And there is more than one way to eat, you can enlarge the chicken on the clam and eat it with dip. You can also put kebabs. The most eaten in Xinjiang is probably lamb. Xinjiang's lamb tastes less sour, and the carrots are very greasy. The lamb and carrots are soft and tender.

## The light of God, the blue-hearted love game, Wood Lake is the first destination after entering Ili. This is the highest and highest mountain lake in Xinjiang, and the warm and humid air current in the Atlantic. The place of care, so there is the saying "the last tear of the Atlantic". When we came to the lake with a very high enthusiasm, there was still some disappointment. The sky was dark and the thick clouds covered the sun given by the suns lighting master. Did not see the magnificentness of Sailimu Lake. Just when everyone was short of interest, the clouds in the clouds cast a ray of sunshine, and the lake in the woods became so smashed, the lake blue rippled in the blue waves, and the whole lake was halo Open a circle of color, this circle gradually spread, just like a colored dye dripping into the water tank, swaying between the fluttering, but it is not as uniform and turbid as the artificial pigment smear, more like a colored streamer The ups and downs continue to roll. We have become beautiful in a moment, stop here, the scenery changes, there will be wind when there is no sun, it seems a bit gloomy and mysterious, but when the sun shines, the whole eye will fill this tear .

Sailimu Lake: Sailimu Lake is backed by snow-capped mountains. The lake is a vast grassland. The lake is clear and blue. Because of its beautiful scenery, it has always been one of the most famous scenic spots in Xinjiang. The snow-capped mountains that are not frozen all the year round at Sailimu Lake are mainly located on the west side, so it is better to take a photo from the Hudong area, just to take a beautiful view of the lake below the snow-capped mountains. The best season for play is June and July each year. At this time, the grassland on the lakeside is full of wildflowers. It should be under the blue water of the snowy mountains. It is a must-see. Every year from the end of July to the beginning of August, the local Mongolian and Kazakh herdsmen will hold the Nadama event here.

I have not been to Qinghai Lake, Wuhu, Namco, but I have been to Sailimu Lake! I think they should be just as beautiful! may be beautiful again! When I came last year, I didnt enter the scenic spot, because the Sailimu Lake is very large and the scenic area is limited. In fact, there are many wild spots on the lakeside that can enter the lake, but they must be paid to the local area. Residents have a little "protection fee"! Attention, it is the cost of protecting the lake! This time we decided to enter the scenic spot. This is a scenic spot where you don't have to take a shuttle bus. Of course, this year is only for the year. I heard that starting from tomorrow, the self-driving car can't enter. Instead, it is a shuttle bus! Sailimu Lake seems to never disappoint. When I came last year, I felt that it was so beautiful that I was so worried that I would like to see it again this year. Yellow grass with blue lake, what kind of scorpio! Its really a foul!

I am fortunate to be lucky, but at the same time I feel that this is not a bad thing. The beautiful scenery needs the protection of all of us. There must be more people going to go, and the harm to nature will be increased. Thanks to nature, the best way to give a gift to the beautiful scenery is to cherish it. Today's wind is a bit big, so the water on the beach is a bit turbid, but it does not affect its beauty at all. The weather is also very powerful, although the sun is hiding in the clouds from time to time. is the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean. The lake is blue and the sky is blue. Perhaps because of the renovation of the scenic spot, this time we did not see large flowers and running cattle and sheep, looking forward to the charm of the late autumn season.
