The Last Teardrop of the Atlantic Ocean!

⛱️Must-see attractions: 1. Highlights around the lake Dianjiangtai: Overlooking the panoramic view of Sayram Lake, legend has it that Genghis Khan once commanded his troops here. Keleyongzhu: The spring water by the lake is crystal clear, and in summer, wildflowers bloom everywhere, making it a perfect spot for taking photos. West Sea Grassland: Lakeside pasture with flocks of cattle and sheep, suitable for horseback riding (CNY 50/hour). Swan Lake: A habitat for swans in winter and other water birds in other seasons. 2. Special experiences Cycling around the lake: Rent a bicycle (CNY 50/hour) or an electric bike (CNY 80/hour) and feel the lake breeze. Stargazing camp: Camping is allowed in designated areas by the lake (tent rental CNY 200/tent). Sunrise and sunset: Sunrise: The east bank (e.g., Moon Bay) is the best spot. Sunset: The west bank (e.g., Dianjiangtai) offers the most beautiful view. 🌄Travel tips: Guozigou Bridge (30-minute drive): A popular spot for photos, with grasslands and snow-capped mountains under the bridge. Khorgos Port (2-hour drive): The border between China and Kazakhstan, where you can experience duty-free shopping. Ili River Valley (3-hour drive): Lavender manor and Nalati grassland. 🏨Accommodation tips: 1. Inside the scenic area RV camp: Features: Lakeside RVs with lake views, approx. CNY 800/night. Recommendation: Sayram Lake RV Camp. Stargazing tent: Transparent tents for stargazing at night, approx. CNY 500/night. 2. Outside the scenic area Wenquan County hotels: Recommendation: Wenquan Kruger Glamping (high-end tent hotel, approx. CNY 2,000/night). Bole city center: Cost-effective: Bole Hotel (CNY 300/night), 1.5 hours' drive from the scenic area. 💗Other tips: Sun and wind protection: The plateau has strong UV rays, so bring hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen. The lakeside is windy, so bring a windproof jacket. Travel light: There is a lot of walking in the scenic area, so it is recommended to bring a backpack (with water and snacks). Eco-friendly travel: Please take your trash with you to protect the purity of the lake water. Network signal: The signal is weak in some areas of the scenic area, so download offline maps in advance.
