The trip to Sayram Lake was totally worth it

This summer's most surprising travel destination—Bole! Especially Sayram Lake, known as "the last tear of the Atlantic," whose breathtaking beauty leaves you speechless 💧 🏞 Trip Highlights: 1⃣️ Sayram Lake Circular Drive It's recommended to depart from downtown Bole, with just a 1.5-hour drive to the East Gate of the scenic area. Remember to purchase tickets in advance (a two-day pass is suggested at ¥145/person). The circular route is about 90 km, featuring over 10 scenic spots like Moon Bay, Swan Bay, and Dianjiang Platform—each offering unique lake views perfect for photos! 2⃣️ Must-Visit Attractions: - South Gate Pine Tree Head: The best spot for panoramic views, about a 40-minute hike to the summit - Kelayongzhu: Unique spring scenery with water temperature consistently at 7°C - West Sea Grassland: Summer wildflowers in full bloom, ideal for horseback riding and photos (¥50/hour) - Waterside Beach: Get up close to the lake—perfect for sunset views in the evening 🍴 Food Tips: Dining options are limited within the Sayram Lake scenic area. It's recommended to bring snacks or try the local specialty, high-altitude whitefish, at the "Gao Bai Gui Yu Restaurant" near the entrance (around ¥80/person). On your way back, stop by "The Herdsman Farmhouse" in downtown Bole for authentic Xinjiang cuisine. ⚠️ Practical Advice: - Sunscreen is a must! UV rays are especially strong by the lake - Large temperature differences between day and night (25°C at noon, 10°C at night)—bring a jacket - Drones require prior registration, and some areas are no-fly zones - It's windy by the lake—hold onto your hat! 🏡 Accommodation Recommendations: For lake-view rooms, consider the Dianjiang Platform Star Camp (around ¥800/night). For budget options, check out chain hotels in Jinghe County (1-hour drive, ¥200-300/night). Now is the most beautiful time to visit Sayram Lake—clear blue skies and pristine waters create picture-perfect scenery at every turn!
