Xi Kala Jun Sunset Guide|I'd call this the ultimate grassland romance!!

Friends!! After chasing sunsets in Xinjiang 7 times… I was finally left speechless by the beauty of the Xi Kala Jun dusk 😭 Snow-capped mountains with golden edges, clouds spread out like an orange sea, silhouettes of cattle and sheep returning to their pens… Quickly save this "Sunset Nanny-Level Guide" that I got in exchange for 3 degrees of sunburn 👇 🌄[Schedule of Epic Moments] ⏰Summer 20:30-21:40|Autumn 19:00-20:10 (Arrive 1 hour early! Watch the snow-capped mountains turn gold in the first 20 minutes, and the fiery clouds change colors in the next 30 minutes) 📍**GPS Coordinates of Dreamy Spots** 1️⃣ **Cliffside by the Flower Terrace**👉🏻Lie down and capture the surging sea of clouds + the melting gold of the snow-capped mountains 2️⃣ **Corner of the Falcon Terrace Boardwalk**👉🏻Use prayer flags as the foreground to shoot stunning photos with a cultural feel 3️⃣ **Haystacks by the Herdsmen's Homes**👉🏻Unlock the same idyllic comic style as in "Little Forest" 📸[Photography Cheat Sheet] ✔️Invert a wide-angle lens close to the ground👉🏻Capture wildflowers that look like a starry sky ✔️Set your phone's filter to "Vivid"👉🏻Maximize the saturation of the sunset ✔️Silhouette secret weapon: Capture dynamic shots by turning your body 45 degrees and raising your hand/swinging a scarf 🐎[Sunset-Exclusive Activities] 🌟Pay 150 yuan to have a Kazakh boy lead a horse into the frame🐎The moment the horse's mane flows, it's divine! 🌟Bring a small speaker and play "To the Clouds" as background music… The atmosphere will burst right out of the screen! 🌟Learn from the locals how to tell time using the direction of the sunset🌇(They can actually be accurate to the minute!) ⚠️[Hard-Learned Lessons] ❗️Don't wear shorts! The grassland mosquito army is even more "enthusiastic" than the sunset ❗️Bring a down jacket! The temperature drops by 10°C after sunset, and that's no joke ❗️The last shuttle bus departs at 21:30! If you miss it, you'll have to walk 5 kilometers back to the campsite 🏕️[Hidden Gems] 🍖After sunset, rush to the yurt to eat freshly slaughtered lamb! Pair it with salty milk tea to warm your stomach 🌌Sneak out of your tent at 2 am to see the Milky Way… The Big Dipper is so bright it can guide your way 📣Final scream: This isn't just a sunset!! It's clearly a palette of colors overturned by the sky🎨 (Touching my hair, which has been blown into a wild beauty by the wind, I let out a happy giggle) Xi Kala Jun Scenic Area
