Sayram Lake – The Last Tear of the Atlantic

Sayram Lake, also referred to as Sailimu Lake, is Xinjiang’s largest alpine lake and largest lake above sea level. Lying in the high mountain basin of Heavenly Mountain, it is known as Lake on the Mountain Range by local people. Due to the high transparency of the water of Sailimu Lake, its color changes with the color of the sky. The reflection in the sky is clear and lifelike, with a three-dimensional effect. At different times of one day, it may take on blue, purple, green, orange, yellow, red, gray and white. The lake and the mountain form a magnificent oil painting. #travel #xinjiang #sayramlake
