Summer in Ili|Step into the fairy tale world of Xinjiang, breathtakingly beautiful

Finally visited the long-awaited Ili this summer! 🍃 It truly feels like a palette spilled by God, every frame as beautiful as an oil painting~ Sharing my healing journey to inspire sisters who want to go! Trip Highlights ✅ Sayram Lake: The last drop of the Atlantic Ocean’s tears 💧, the water is unrealistically blue! Cycling around the lake is super soothing, the wind carries the scent of freedom~ ✅ Nalati Grassland: The aerial grassland lives up to its name! Riding horses and strolling on the green carpet-like meadows feels like stepping into the movie scene of "Heidi and Grandpa" 🐎 ✅ Kalajun Human-shaped Grassland: The undulating curves resemble a young girl’s figure, tender and intoxicating under the sunset 🌄 (Remember to wear a white dress for photos!) ✅ Shata Ancient Road: Snow-capped mountains + wildflowers + forest in one frame! A paradise for hiking lovers, with a 100% chance of encountering marmots 🐾 🍉 Food Recommendations ▪️ Lamb skewers grilled roadside 🍢, 3 yuan each, so delicious you’ll lick your fingers! ▪️ Handmade yogurt with honey, sweet and sour, super refreshing~ ▪️ Must-try "Baursak"! Kazakh small fried bread, perfect dipped in jam 😋 📸 Photo Tips ✨ Light-colored dresses + straw hats = the ultimate formula for grassland photos ✨ The light is softest at 9 AM / 7 PM, perfect for capturing glowing hair strands ✨ Must check in at Sayram Lake’s S-curve and Nalati nomad family’s popular bridge! 💭 Random Thoughts Ili’s summer is always 20°C 🍃, sunscreen during the day + a light jacket at night is a must! The beauty here is truly indescribable in words; only seeing it with your own eyes will you understand what "life is worth living" means~
