Bortala Museum, where the history of the northern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains is gathered
When you arrive in Bole, you should first visit the Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture Museum. Only by understanding its history can you have a macro concept of this place.
The exterior of the museum is actually quite interesting, with a large golden tent in the middle and smaller yurts on both sides, connected together, which fits well with the ethnic customs of Bortala Prefecture.
As for the collection, it is actually not much. According to the official website, the museum has more than 2,000 cultural relics (many of which are folk exhibits and should not be considered cultural relics, about 2,000 pieces), of which only six are national first-class cultural relics. Compared with many museums, it is indeed very small, but it still has its own distinctive regional characteristics.
Treasures of the Museum
✅ It is generally believed that the most precious is the following Han Dynasty gold ornaments, rectangular jade wrapped in gold, and agate and turquoise strung together with five gold chains. It has a strong nomadic ethnic style and is indeed very beautiful, isn't it?! Especially considering that it dates back to the Han Dynasty.
Since the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate in the Western Han Dynasty, this land began to come under the influence of the central government. The museum has the story of Zheng Ji, the first protector of the Western Regions Protectorate in the Western Han Dynasty.
✅ The third picture shows a gold entwined pattern bronze mirror from the Jin Dynasty, the fourth picture shows a three-faced eight-armed bronze gilt Medicine Buddha statue from the Ming Dynasty, and the fifth picture shows a large red pottery urn, all of which are first-class cultural relics. In addition, there are gold bracelets and gold belts from the Yuan Dynasty, which seem to have not been photographed, but they are all in separate display cases on site and are very clear.
✅ Large Pottery Urn
Personally, I feel that it is almost as large as the treasure of the Aksu Museum—the large pottery urn (the largest pottery in China). During the Tang Dynasty, it seems that the countries in the Western Regions liked to make large pottery. Quite interesting.
✅ Dalet Ancient City
Most of the exhibits were unearthed from the "Dalet Ancient City" not far from the urban area of Bole. It was an important town in the Western Regions during the Karakhanid Dynasty, Western Liao, and Chagatai Khanate periods in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, known as "Boluocheng" in historical books. The large red pottery urn above and the Yuan Chagatai Khanate copper coins below were all unearthed here. Because it is located at the crucial point of the east-west route of the Silk Road, there are many cultural relics with obvious exotic characteristics like the one below.
But I personally like the large Jun kiln bowl from the Yuan Dynasty, with very beautiful kiln change colors and a large shape; there is also a blue glass bottle from the Yuan Dynasty, with such a beautiful shape and high transparency, I have never seen a similar one elsewhere!
After visiting the museum, I couldn't help but go to the archaeological site of Dalet Ancient City to take a look, but there was nothing much left on site, only very low rammed earth foundations could be seen along the wooden plank road.
✅ Other Cultural Sites
In addition to Dalet Ancient City, there is also the Husta site in Bortala Prefecture, where the earliest horse bones in China were unearthed, and the Adunqiaolu site from the 17th century BC, where steppe stone men were unearthed. This also proves that as early as the 19th century BC, there was civilization on the grasslands at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
There is also the Qingdeli Ancient City, where the Shuanghe Dudu Fu of the Tang Dynasty was located, and the Jinghe Anfu site from the Qing Dynasty... Thousands of years of history have strung together the stories of the grasslands at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
✅ Steppe Stone Men
In the Bronze Age, the Central Plains liked jade as religious ritual vessels for spiritual communication and prayer, such as the various jade cong, jade bi, and jade axes that the Liangzhu culture is famous for.
But in the Stone Age of the Xinjiang grasslands, the objects for spiritual communication and prayer were actually ordinary stones~~ There are not only various steppe stone men, but this incomplete stone mask in the Bortala Museum is one of the few "masks", no wonder it is also a first-class cultural relic.
Similar steppe stone men can also be seen in the Ili Museum, which seems to be a classic shape of this period. There is also one that looks like a monkey eating a peach? Could this be the prototype of Sun Wukong?
✅ Bronze Cauldron
This time visiting museums in Xinjiang, I learned about this new bronze vessel type—the bronze cauldron. This vessel type is widely seen in the nomadic civilizations of the grasslands, from the Inner Mongolia grasslands to the Tianshan grasslands in Xinjiang, and even in the Kazakhstan Museum in Central Asia.
✅ Other Exhibition Halls
In addition to the historical exhibition, the museum also has a folk exhibition. It comprehensively introduces the traditions of various ethnic groups in Bortala Prefecture from the characteristics of clothing, to art and culture, to architectural styles, and dietary habits.
Another exhibition hall is a natural flora and fauna exhibition, showcasing the geological conditions and flora and fauna resources of Bortala Prefecture. Personally, I am more interested in the historical part, but interested friends can check it out.
✅ The Story of the Westward Migration of the Chahar
The museum has a large number of cultural relics similar to those in Inner Mongolia. Because in the late Qing Dynasty, the Chahar migrated westward three times, garrisoning and farming in the strategic location of Bortala outside the Great Wall, and have taken root here for three hundred years. This magnificent history is also reflected in the modern cultural relics of the museum.
✅ Other Special Exhibitions
The new museum of Bortala Museum opened for trial operation on December 28, 2023. There is also a replica of a national treasure from the Jingzhou Museum on site—the Tiger Seat Phoenix Frame Suspended Drum. Hubei Province is the counterpart support unit of Bortala Prefecture, and it seems that the construction of the Bortala Museum also benefited from the help of various museums in Hubei.
There are irregular exchanges and exhibitions of cultural relics from various levels of museums in Hubei here. For example, in June, there was the "Chu Jade Collection—Exhibition of Chu State Jade Artifacts Unearthed in Jingzhou"; and starting from August 1, there is the "Ancient Chu Treasures—Special Exhibition of Guodian Chu Bamboo Slips" from the Jingmen Museum, which is said to be held until October. Friends passing by can take a look.
Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture
Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, commonly referred to as 'Bozhou', is under the jurisdiction of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. 'Bortala' is Mongolian for 'silver grassland' and is located on the northwestern edge of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, surrounded by mountains on the west, north, and south, and has a temperate continental arid climate. It covers an area of 27,200 square kilometers and governs 2 county-level cities and 2 counties. According to the seventh population census data, as of 0:00 on November 1, 2020, the permanent population of Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture was 488,198 people.
Bozhou borders Kazakhstan, with a border line of 372 kilometers. It is an important connection point and key node for import and export goods in the 'Central Corridor' of the Silk Road Economic Belt, both domestically and internationally. The second Eurasian Continental Bridge runs through the entire territory, and the China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline and the West-East Gas Pipeline II cross the region. It is the intersection of two major transportation arteries and two major ports, where National Highway 312 meets Provincial Highway 219, and the Jingyihuo Railway intersects with the Northern Xinjiang Railway Ujing Complex Line in Bozhou. Bozhou has a 'two lakes and three mountains' topography and has established 4 national and autonomous region-level nature reserves and 1 national key scenic area.
In December 2019, the State Ethnic Affairs Commission named Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture as a 'National Model Prefecture for Ethnic Unity and Progress'.
In 2023, the gross regional product of Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture reached 51.272 billion yuan, an increase of 5.5% over the previous year at comparable prices. Among them, the primary industry added a value of 11.315 billion yuan, the secondary industry added a value of 15.365 billion yuan, and the tertiary industry added a value of 24.592 billion yuan.
Listening to friends around me said that the food in Xinjiang is super delicious. I feel that the dishes in Xinjiang are very unrestrained, so I have been unmoved and have not longed for it. This time I came to Xinjiang, and the first meal I had eaten on the plane subverted my imagination of Xinjiang cuisine.
This time with friends, the restaurant has a long table that can sit on the ground. The length of Xinjiang is very similar to pizza, which is slightly harder than pizza. And there is more than one way to eat, you can enlarge the chicken on the clam and eat it with dip. You can also put kebabs.
The most eaten in Xinjiang is probably lamb. Xinjiang's lamb tastes less sour, and the carrots are very greasy. The lamb and carrots are soft and tender.
## The light of God, the blue-hearted love game, Wood Lake is the first destination after entering Ili. This is the highest and highest mountain lake in Xinjiang, and the warm and humid air current in the Atlantic. The place of care, so there is the saying "the last tear of the Atlantic".
When we came to the lake with a very high enthusiasm, there was still some disappointment. The sky was dark and the thick clouds covered the sun given by the suns lighting master. Did not see the magnificentness of Sailimu Lake.
Just when everyone was short of interest, the clouds in the clouds cast a ray of sunshine, and the lake in the woods became so smashed, the lake blue rippled in the blue waves, and the whole lake was halo Open a circle of color, this circle gradually spread, just like a colored dye dripping into the water tank, swaying between the fluttering, but it is not as uniform and turbid as the artificial pigment smear, more like a colored streamer The ups and downs continue to roll.
We have become beautiful in a moment, stop here, the scenery changes, there will be wind when there is no sun, it seems a bit gloomy and mysterious, but when the sun shines, the whole eye will fill this tear .
Tips
This is the "Turandot Restaurant" in the Saimu Lake and the small town under the stars.
1. Sailimu Lake is called "the last tear of the North Atlantic", and her lake is all year round. The sapphire blue is clear and translucent, like the girl's most pure eyes, although she is becoming more and more inconspicuous, but fortunately did not affect her appearance. The air wrapped in grass and dew in the morning swarmed through the window... Ah...
2. Have you heard of the Turandot restaurant in Moscow? Russia is spending a lot of money to create the most luxurious, do you think that this place in Figure 5 - Figure 8 is the Turandot restaurant that can not afford? Nonono This is Ellerskar, a fast-food restaurant where two people eat a 100-dollar... Is it heart-warming?
Sailimu Lake: Sailimu Lake is backed by snow-capped mountains. The lake is a vast grassland. The lake is clear and blue. Because of its beautiful scenery, it has always been one of the most famous scenic spots in Xinjiang.
The snow-capped mountains that are not frozen all the year round at Sailimu Lake are mainly located on the west side, so it is better to take a photo from the Hudong area, just to take a beautiful view of the lake below the snow-capped mountains.
The best season for play is June and July each year. At this time, the grassland on the lakeside is full of wildflowers. It should be under the blue water of the snowy mountains. It is a must-see.
Every year from the end of July to the beginning of August, the local Mongolian and Kazakh herdsmen will hold the Nadama event here. The herdsmen will move out here at the end of October, but the color of the winter silver dress is also very beautiful.
The scenery of Sailimu Lake is always full of charm. The afterglow of the sunset glows through the clouds in the water and reflects a golden blue sky. The sky is still not black, the stars can see a few, until the sky is completely black, leaning against the car to see the stars flashing. The beauty of the starry sky has not yet been forgotten, and it has ushered in the sunrise. Xiaguang tried to break the clouds and illuminate the earth. The scenery of Sailimu Lake is now in front of me.
Sailimu Lake, here is the highest mountain lake in Xinjiang, the largest mountain lake, as the "last tear of the Atlantic Ocean" or the last resort of the Atlantic warm and humid airflow
summer lakeside alpine pasture, green grass, winter here It has become a white fairy tale world. Fortunately, it has not yet reached the midwinter. The lake has not yet frozen, but the lakeside is full of ice walls formed by the impact of the lake. Let you know at a glance that the cold
Lianhuo Expressway passes by the lake, now the Sailimu Lake The Huanhu Highway is managed by the scenic spot management office. Private cars are generally not allowed to enter. However, if it is before the work of the management office before dawn, it is another matter. I just drove into the Sailimu Lake Road. The sunrise in the
Winter Lake is beautiful, but it is really cold. There are more than 300 kilometers from Kuitun, there is no decent city along the way, but for the lakeside between the mountains, I still have no hesitation.
Winter there are no tourists here, from time to time we will meet wild animals, this time we met a group of cute wild foxes...
When the car drove through the Gobi Desert and inadvertently turned over a mountain bag, the tour guide said that we should close our eyes and sneak into it after one or two, and Sailimu Lake was so rushed in front of everyone.
I saw it at first sight, and I gave a sigh in my heart. It is not difficult to imagine that the ancient travellers were covered in dust after a long trek through the desolate Gobi, the desert and the snowy mountains, and they were tired of seeing the mood of Sailimu Lake. No wonder it is called the Western Clean Sea. Some people say that it is a teardrop that stayed on the Tianshan Snow Ridge when the sea retreated hundreds of millions of years ago. This metaphor is very vivid.
Where the beautiful natural landscape is unique, Sailimu Lake, its characteristic is blue, the incomparable blue. The lake is a cold water lake, and even if you wash your hands in the lake in the summer, you will feel the water is a bit bitter. The lake is quiet and blue, and the lake is quiet. You can only hear the sound of the grass and the slopes and the sound of the cattle and sheep. The grassland on the lake is an excellent summer pasture. Every year from the end of July to the beginning of August, the local Mongolian and Kazakh herdsmen will hold the Nadama event here.
Less than Xinjiang, I don't know China's big; I don't know Yili, I don't know the beauty of Xinjiang. The Sailimu Lake is definitely the most dazzling presence in the Yili landscape in Xinjiang.
This place is called "the last tear of the Atlantic". Snow mountains, grasslands and azure lakes make a beautiful picture. How many people are far away from Xinjiang, just to see it.
Sai Limu Lake is called "Net Sea". It is located in the northern Tianshan Mountains in Bole City, Bortala Prefecture, Xinjiang. It is adjacent to Huocheng County of Yili Prefecture. The lake is 2071 meters above sea level, 30 kilometers from east to west, and 25 kilometers wide from north to south. With an area of 453 square kilometers and a water storage capacity of 21 billion cubic meters, the lake is clear and transparent with a transparency of 12 meters.
5 month of Sailimu Lake The ice and snow have just melted and the lake is crystal clear. The temperature here is much lower than that of Urumqi, so I have to carry a coat with me, or I will be alive and stupid.
It is said that every June, the mountains and flowers are everywhere, the sea and the sky are surrounded by snow mountains and the green forest is the most beautiful season of the year. Although we came a little earlier, the scenery in front of us is still beautiful.
Tour Saimu Lake The best way is to drive around the lake. This road around the lake is very well repaired. It is said that there are many swans in Sailimu Lake in the summer, and you can only imagine the flowers of Sailimu Lake and the free swan.
The peaceful Erik Lake is located 16 kilometers southeast of the Wuerhe Devil City Scenic Area in Xinjiang. It is made up of the Baiyang River water. "Eric" means yogurt in Mongolian. Lake Eric has existed for at least 1300 years and is the only lake in Karamay. The waters of the lake area are rippling, the reeds are clustered, the fish leaps and birds, the wild boars and the yellow sheep are often seen, the trees are forested, the farmland is vertical and horizontal, and the natural lake forms a beautiful picture of the desert lake. Therefore, it is known as a pearl on the Gobi desert.
People plan not as good as days
Sailimu Lake in the morning sun, Sailimu Lake in the sunset, the sun is on the hillside of Sailimu Lake, in addition to lakes, mountains, grasslands, rivers, spruces, glaciers and so on. God sprinkled all the colors he thought were the most beautiful in every corner of Sailimu Lake. The blue lake is like a blue sky, it is very refreshing and blue, and the blue is clear. Sailimu Lake does not have the turbulent waves of the sea but has its own unique tranquility and harmony like a wise man, waiting for you to visit.
Blue is the largest blue color on the earth. It is bounded by the blue lake in the game, and it is integrated into her blue light. Green, full of vitality is full of hope. Kogurqin spruce forest, green and quiet all year round, the sun in the forest is also green. Like green, love the green of green life. The yellow color of Sailimu Lake is overwhelming and golden. Sailimu Lake has a splendid mountain flower and a sea of flowers. The dazzling flower sea sings the fragrance to make a beautiful wish for you. A purple romance blooms on the vast grasslands. The purple flowers gather the beauty and connotation of Sailimu Lake. Under the blue sky, the romantic style is quietly told to the tourists in the breeze. The swan represents purity and symbolizes holiness and nobleness. The swan of Saihu Lake, a king-like figure, patrols his lake every day.
Sailimu Lake is known as one of the most beautiful lakes in Xinjiang, and is the largest mountain lake in the Tianshan Mountains. Also known as the last tear of the Atlantic, located in Sailimu Lake in the Shanxi section of the sky, it seems to have nothing to do with the distant Atlantic Ocean. Because it is close to the Ili Valley. Located on the windward slope, it is the easternmost point where the warm and humid air currents of the Atlantic can reach.
The warm and humid airflow from the Atlantic Ocean crosses the plains, deep into the distant Tianshan Mountains, stops in the Ili Valley, and the sufficient water vapor is lifted by the terrain, forming sufficient precipitation, creating a drop of tears. Said here is the last resort of the Atlantic warmth!
Everything the soul can see here is a deep, shallow blue, rich in light and deep, rich in layers. Backed by the white snow-capped mountains, it stretches over the ever-changing grasslands of the four seasons, and is complemented by various flowers and plants. This is my deepest impression of Sailimu Lake.
At the beginning of May in Sailimu Lake, the lake has not yet fully thawed. We are seeing a large piece of snow on the shore that has not yet been removed. The lake that has been thawed is pure blue it is the color of the sky reflected by the lake.
Sailim Lake, Xinjiang Great Lakes, located on the north slope of the Tianshan Mountains, adjacent to the Ili River Valley, on the windward slope of the west wind, with sufficient water vapor from the Atlantic Ocean to be flooded by terrain to form abundant precipitation, so it is also known as the Atlantic Ocean. The last drop of tears."
When we arrived, it was the twilight time - 8 pm Beijing time, the emperor was already a night light, and Sailimu Lake was welcoming the most beautiful time of the day. The ice floes on the lake have not yet completely melted, and there is snow on the lakeside. The warm light of the lake will stain the roads, grassland, clumps of woods and snow of the lake with a layer of golden yellow, blue sky and wash, layer by layer. The flowing clouds are gathering in the distant peaks of the Tianshan Mountains.
The big lake is quiet, so people want to sleep - almost within our line of sight, only our small team, enjoying this wonderful scene. Oh, no, there is still a two waterfowl, passing low over the water and making a long and two-sounding tweet. I pressed the shutter with excitement and care, and put this inch of time into the bag. I secretly thought that even this trip to Xinjiang would only be a good time at this moment, it would be enough.
Legend has it that Sailimu Lake was originally a prairie full of flowers. Two Mongolian young men and women fell in love here. Later, the devil saw the girl and took her away. One day, the girl found a chance to escape, but was forced to jump into the deep pool under the chase of the devil. The soul dreams often depend on each other, and the red-faced self-confidence, deeply loved her lover after learning the news, grief also jumped into the deep pool lyrics. After they died, a lot of clear and cold water emerged from the deep pool. It was the sad tears of the lovers, which is now the Saimu Lake.
The Lake Selim is known as the first pool of the Tianshan Mountains. There is one of the four beautiful women in the lake. If you want to choose the most beautiful time of Sailimu Lake in a day, then the Saimu in the evening Lake must be my first choice.
There is a legend in Lake Selim. A long time ago, it was a beautiful grassland with blooming flowers. On the grassland, a girl named Ceddan and a Mongolian young man named Xuedike love each other deeply, but the ferocious devil greedily cherishes the beauty of the girl, and captures the cedulism into the magic palace. Waiting for the opportunity to escape from the Magic Palace, under the chasing of the devils, Cedan was forced to jump into a deep pool. When Xue Deke rushed to save his lover, he found that Cedan had died. He was also sorrowful and sorrowful in the sorrow. In a moment, the pool was filled with water, so the lovers Sincere love and grief tears have turned into Sailimu Lake.
Backed by snow-capped mountains, the lake is a vast grassland, the lake is clear and blue, every year in June and July, when the lakeside grassland is full of wildflowers, it should be under the blue lake under the snow-capped mountains. It is a grand scene that cannot be missed. The scenic area of
sailim Lake is no shuttle bus, so private cars can be driven in. The chartered car is the best way to play in Sailimu Lake. Driving all the way to chase the sunset, this is also our first impression of the first encounter in the wood lake.
Before you came to Xinjiang, you know that Xinjiang has a wide area and spends a lot of time on the car, but when you come here to see the beautiful scenery along the way, you can feel that the time you paid is worthwhile.
I don't know if you have tried "in the bumpy interval bus, create!"
biggest problem, [surprised] one is shaking! [Applause] Second, the focal length is always inappropriate!
This professional little black card RX100M6, [love you] did not live up to my expectations:
1, is the "five-axis anti-shake" magic change buff blessing, a word "stable"!
2, can be selected from the 24-200mm focal length, and the lever response speed is very fast.
3, the most worth mentioning is: the general card machine is slow to focus [allow sad]; but it is not the same [smirk], this full screen 315 phase detection focus point, makes me feel very incomparable [glutton] ! (The mood is comfortable, the speed is very fast!)
[Jesus] Also, the general car is shot, there is a windshield, the auto focus is easy to flower, right? The RX100M6 supports a touch screen at a point, so you can quickly find the focus you want!
Located in the Saimu Lake at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the pure lake reflects the distant snow-capped mountains. The flocks of cattle and sheep are scattered on the beautiful lakeside. The sky is full of sky and wild, and the wind blows the grass to see the beautiful scene of the cattle and sheep. As the highest lake in Xinjiang, it can always change countless magical and beautiful scenes all year round. It is a bright pearl on the vast land of northern Xinjiang.
In the first scenic spot, the blue lake gradually spread out in front of the eyes, and it stretched until the end of the hope, and immediately forgot the tiredness of the journey and devoted it to the beautiful masterpiece of nature.
Along the lake, the snow-capped mountains on the other side are always reflected in the blue lake, and the heavens and the earth are transformed into the same scenery. This pure scene is refreshing and refreshing, and all the troubles are thrown away. Rear.
Lakeside, scattered with white yurts, herders rushing into groups of cattle and sheep, walking through the scrolls of nature. The teenager in the distance, riding a galloping horse, freely and freely between the heavens and the earth, the harmony between man and nature, at this time has been the best perfect embodiment.
The other side of the lake, the rolling hills, accompanied by the excellent pastures, complements the Sailimu Lake, forming a three-dimensional view of the original ecology. As the sun gradually weakens, the color of the lake becomes more vivid, and the distant sunset gradually passes through the mountains, leaving the last beauty. At this time, what vocabulary is difficult to describe the vast and beautiful scenery, only quietly feel, feel the unspeakable legendary scene

When I came last year, I didnt enter the scenic spot, because the Sailimu Lake is very large and the scenic area is limited. In fact, there are many wild spots on the lakeside that can enter the lake, but they must be paid to the local area. Residents have a little "protection fee"!
Attention, it is the cost of protecting the lake!
This time we decided to enter the scenic spot.
This is a scenic spot where you don't have to take a shuttle bus. Of course, this year is only for the year. I heard that starting from tomorrow, the self-driving car can't enter. Instead, it is a shuttle bus!
Sailimu Lake seems to never disappoint. When I came last year, I felt that it was so beautiful that I was so worried that I would like to see it again this year.
Yellow grass with blue lake, what kind of scorpio! Its really a foul!
If you can, you must check it out in the golden autumn!
Blue sky, white to go, snowy mountains, green grassland and blue lakes, a natural picture of nature, is really beautiful!
After buying the tickets, the private car can be opened to the scenic spot, so we enjoy the beauty along the newly repaired road along the way. It is possible that at this time next year, the scenic spot will also open a section bus, and the road is currently being renovated. I am fortunate to be lucky, but at the same time I feel that this is not a bad thing. The beautiful scenery needs the protection of all of us. There must be more people going to go, and the harm to nature will be increased. Thanks to nature, the best way to give a gift to the beautiful scenery is to cherish it.
Today's wind is a bit big, so the water on the beach is a bit turbid, but it does not affect its beauty at all.
The weather is also very powerful, although the sun is hiding in the clouds from time to time.
is the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean. The lake is blue and the sky is blue. Perhaps because of the renovation of the scenic spot, this time we did not see large flowers and running cattle and sheep, looking forward to the charm of the late autumn season.
Since the new source of apricot blossoms has not yet been opened, we decided to go to Sailimu Lake and the Fruit Gully Bridge first.
Sailimu Lake is the last resort of the Atlantic warm and humid air, so it is also known as "the last tear of the Atlantic." Similarly, he is the highest mountain lake in Xinjiang with the highest altitude and beautiful scenery.
Sailimu Lake has an elevation of 2073m, a lake area of 458km2, and a lake recharge coefficient of about 3.1. It is the smallest watershed in the inland lakes of northwest China. The maximum water depth of Sailimu Lake is 92m, the average water depth is 46.4m, and the water storage capacity is about 2.11010m3. The lake area is surrounded by mountains and has glaciers that form a closed alpine basin water system. The average annual precipitation of the lake is about 450mm, mostly concentrated in April to August.
Sailimu Lake is backed by snow-capped mountains. The lake is a vast grassland. The lake is clear and blue. Because of its beautiful scenery, it has always been one of the most famous scenic spots in Xinjiang.
The snow-capped mountains that are not in the whole year are mainly located on the west side of Sailimu Lake, so it is better to take a photo from the Hudong area, just to take a beautiful view of the lake below the snow-capped mountains.
The best season for play is June and July each year. At this time, the grassland on the lakeside is full of wildflowers. It should be under the blue water of the snowy mountains. It is a must-see.
From the end of July to the beginning of August, the local Mongolian and Kazakh herdsmen will hold the Nadama event here. The herdsmen will move out at the end of October, but the color of the winter silver cover is also very beautiful.
We went to Sailimu Lake in April, and it was a snow. The whole world was pure white and the scenery was beautiful.
Not in Xinjiang, I dont know Chinas big; Im not in Yili, I dont know the beauty of Xinjiang. Sailimu Lake is definitely the most dazzling presence on the Yili scenic line in Xinjiang. Known as the "last tear of the Atlantic", the snow-capped mountains, grasslands and azure lakes make a beautiful picture. How many people are far away from Xinjiang, just to see it. But many people just passed by in a hurry, and they looked at it from afar. The artistic conception of Sailimu Lake is not something that can be realized only with a glance. This dream-filled place has an intoxicating view everywhere. In the dreamy Saimu Lake, you should forget your destination, empty yourself and return to nature.
