My Life FIRST|Only after visiting Sayram Lake in Xinjiang did I understand what truly refreshing blue is

🌟Sayram Lake is the highest-altitude, largest, and most scenic alpine lake in Xinjiang. It is also the last place where the warm and humid air currents from the Atlantic Ocean linger, hence the saying 'the last tear of the Atlantic.' Historically known as 'Pure Sea,' Sayram Lake is located in the northern Tianshan Mountains within Bole City, Bortala Prefecture, Xinjiang, near Huocheng County, Ili Prefecture. The lake's surface is at an altitude of 2,071 meters, with crystal-clear water and a transparency of 12 meters, making it one of the '100 Wonders of the Northwest.' 👍The Haixi Grassland is located to the west of Sayram Lake, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the lake on one side. The terrain is rugged, and in late spring and early summer, the subalpine meadows are covered with blooming wildflowers, intersecting streams, and gurgling brooks. The local residents call it 'Haixi,' and because it is the last place where the warm and humid air currents from the Atlantic Ocean linger, it is also known as 'the last tear of the Atlantic.' ✅The main attractions of Sayram Lake include: Colorful Pure Sea, Ancient Relay Station, Heavenly Lake Valley Entrance, Pine Head Mist Waterfall, Golden Flowers and Purple Blossoms, Keshan Pine Viewing, Swan Water Fun, Ancient Wusun Tomb, General's Terrace Nostalgia, and Grassland Poetry Forest. Among these, the most classic are Colorful Pure Sea, Keshan Pine Viewing, and Pine Head Mist Waterfall. ❤Summer: Wildflowers bloom. In June, the grasslands around Sayram Lake are filled with colorful wildflowers, making it the most beautiful time of the year. This is the best time to stroll among the flowers and tour around the lake. 📍Sayram Lake is located beside National Highway 312. You can choose to drive yourself or hire a car to visit. From the car, you can see the lake surrounded by mountains. If you drive yourself or hire a car, you can stop more frequently and walk to the lakeside for a visit. You can also take a bus from Urumqi to Yining or a tourist bus from Bole City to Sayram Lake. Buses run every Saturday, Sunday, and on holidays.
