Sailimu Lake, here I come! Life is worth living!

The last time I visited Sailimu Lake was a few winters ago, and the crystal-clear blue ice is still vivid in my memory. Most of the images of Sailimu Lake I saw online were from summer, with rippling waves and blooming flowers, which made me long to visit again. So, I set off once more. When I first arrived, the sky was gloomy, the distant mountains were shrouded in dark clouds, and the lake had taken on a gray hue. As the car slowly moved forward, heavy rain began to fall, and the raindrops kept hitting the car windows. It felt like I was going to miss the blue Sailimu Lake this time. Just as I was looking out at the alpine meadows in disappointment, a beam of sunlight shone on the ground. The sun came out, and the rain stopped! From the vantage point of the Commanding Platform, the post-rain Sailimu Lake looked even more transparent. White sailboats leisurely 'sailed,' the red and white lighthouse quietly awaited on the shore, and the mountains seemed to be veiled, appearing and disappearing. Driving around Sailimu Lake, the beauty was so overwhelming that the only sound inside the car was the clicking of the camera, afraid of missing the clear blue lake, the layered grasslands, the colorful wildflowers, and the majestic mountains. No wonder people say, 'If you haven't been to Sailimu Lake, you haven't lived!' Sailimu Lake is truly beautiful! 📍Location: Bole City, Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang.
