Sailimu Lake Spruce Hot Spring Hotel
May at Sailimu Lake feels too cold.
But in summer, the snow mountains have melted.
The scenic area has no accommodations.
The hotel is near the north gate, quite nice.
The area around the hotel is very beautiful.
There are also lakes and snow mountains.
It's a completely uninhabited area.
Extremely comfortable.

Experience a three-day special forces tour: Explore Yili, Xinjiang!
A three-day special forces tour to 'Yili, Xinjiang' is not tiring at all|||
Ever since travel has reopened, I've cherished every weekend, taking a special forces tour to 'Yili, Xinjiang', over 4600 kilometers away from Nanning. During the three-day journey, I took 5 flights and had a 9-hour car ride, but looking back at the photos taken along the way, I don't feel tired at all.
Here's the timeline of the trip, join me on a special forces tour:
⏮️ Day 1 before: Nanning🚅Guangzhou
⏮️ Day 1️⃣: Guangzhou🛫Chengdu (CA4310) Chengdu🛫Yining (CA2751). Arrived at Yining Airport at 19:00, and in Xinjiang, the sun sets at 22:00 this season. After a continuous 3-hour drive, we reached the hotel, staying at the Shuiyunshan Wild Luxury Hotel, with beautiful scenery right under our feet.
⏮️ Day 2️⃣: Depart from the hotel, follow the surrounding mountain roads, enjoy the beautiful scenery of snow-capped mountains, meadows, snow streams, cattle, and sheep, which is just like being in Northern Europe, very healing. Drive for 1 hour to Sayram Lake, circling the lake for 72 kilometers, along the way, blue sky and white clouds, rain, hail, the changes of all four seasons are in sight. The lake water is blue and clear, and the lakeside meadows are full of little yellow flowers, all the beauty is here.
⏮️ Day 3️⃣: Return at 7:00 in the morning, a 3-hour drive to Yining Airport, Yining🛫Urumqi (CZ5953), Urumqi🛫Xi'an (CZ5952), Xi'an🛫Nanning (CA8796). Arrived in Nanning at 22:00, and have to go to work the next day.
I stayed at the Shuiyunshan Wild Luxury Hotel near the starting point, located near the north gate of Sayram Lake, heading towards Wenquan County. The hotel is backed by mountains, very quiet and beautiful surroundings, giving a feeling of seclusion from the world. The hotel's facilities are great, with a coffee bar, gym, and free horse riding among other activities to choose from.
Let's take a look at Yili, a place worth visiting:
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 photos: Shuiyunshan Wild Luxury Hotel
9 10 photos: Behind the hotel's mountain
11 12 13 14 photos: Snow-capped mountains near the hotel
14 15 16 photos: Sayram Lake
These photos showcase the beautiful scenery of Yili worth visiting, making one long for it. No matter how many flights and car rides I've been through, this special forces tour was very worthwhile. 📸🏔️🌲

The wild luxury hotel that you must stay in when you go to Sailimu Lake
Wenquan County Shuiyunsong Hotel! The Shuiyunsong Hotel where you stay when you go to Sailimu Lake, the hotel environment is very beautiful, quiet and safe, and it is relatively close to the north gate of Sailimu Lake (it also takes 30 minutes on mountain roads) The hotel has horse riding, afternoon tea, bonfire parties, etc. It's very photogenic. Children like horse riding very much. What is particularly worth mentioning is that there is a small stream not far from the hotel, which is super comfortable. It takes a few minutes to go by yourself, and you can camp by the stream.
