You haven't even been to Sayram Lake? You've wasted your life!

If you visit Xinjiang, you must go to Yili, and if you visit Yili, you must see Sayram Lake 🦢. Snow-capped mountains 🏔️, grasslands, lakes, forests... All can be fully appreciated at Sayram Lake 🎊. Tips 🎈: 1️⃣ Make sure to visit Sayram Lake on a sunny day ☀️. Only under clear skies does the lake appear blue, offering a true "sea and sky as one" experience. 2️⃣ The lake's perimeter is about 100 kilometers. A 5-hour visit is ideal, so plan a full day for exploration. 3️⃣ Recommended to join a tour group (like a Sayram Lake day trip) or go by 🚗 self-drive to fully appreciate the lake's beauty. 4️⃣ Bring some food 🍞 and water as there are few and expensive vendors in the scenic area. 5️⃣ Avoid tours that cram Sayram Lake with other attractions in one day—it's just a superficial glance. 6️⃣ There's a small paid viewpoint inside costing 20 yuan 💰—not recommended, as similar views can be seen elsewhere for free. 7️⃣ In summer, activities like boat rides 🚢 and hot air balloons are available—choose based on personal preference. 🎫 Ticket price: 145 yuan 🆙 Location: Sayram Lake (in the northern Tianshan Mountains, Bole City, Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang) 🚗 How to get there: Self-drive or join a tour ⌚️ Opening hours: Open all day (ticketed season approximately April 25-October 10, with ticket sales from 8:00-23:00 daily. Off-season has minimal management and usually no entrance fee)
