I've lived to the fullest! Sayram Lake is so beautiful that it doesn't need any filters

It truly deserves to be called the last tear of the Atlantic! It was worth traveling thousands of miles to meet you~ The water of Sayram Lake is so blue that it's mesmerizing, and it changes shades of blue at different times of the day! From the East Gate to Songshutou, it's a 30-minute drive, but we ended up staying for almost 10 hours😂 This season at Sayram Lake, the grass is all green, the snow-capped mountains haven't fully melted, and flowers are everywhere. I really didn't want to miss any of it~ But I still left with some regrets, I didn't go around the lake nor did I see any swans🦢 But how could one visit Sayram Lake just once! Travel Tips 🔹 I personally recommend a self-driving tour, you can stop and take pictures of the beautiful scenery whenever you want, so convenient! 🎫Ticket price is 143💰 per person (including self-driving) 🔹 What to wear: Bring a windbreaker!! And a knitted sweater!! The wind is really strong and it's cold!! You can take off your coat for photos, but even when it's sunny, it's cold as long as the wind blows~ Be sure to protect yourself from the sun. ✨ Going around the lake is 90km, and it's not necessary for a day trip. In my opinion, the most essential part is from the East Gate to Dianjiangtai. 💙It's a counterclockwise tour, passing by Moon Bay, Songshutou, and the lighthouse~ The scenery along the way is very beautiful!! 🔹 The weather that day was overcast turning to cloudy⛅️ (When I first arrived, the weather was desperately bad, but then it suddenly cleared up!) The clouds like in a comic scene added depth to the pictures. Some little yellow flowers were blooming, as well as little purple flowers and dandelions~ In the coming summer, the grasslands here will be greener, and the lakeside will be full of little yellow flowers, it will be even more beautiful! 🔹 From afar, the lake is a deep blue, up close, it's clear and jelly-like~ The weather changes every day, the position of the clouds, the blooming of the flowers, all create different sceneries, so~ Sayram Lake is not just about the S Bay, every place has its own beauty worth discovering. 🔹 There's not much to eat inside the scenic area, remember to prepare some snacks in advance. 🔹 For those who want to fly drones, remember to report in advance at the East Gate entrance 🔹 The South Gate is exit only, after touring counterclockwise and exiting from the South Gate, you can see the Guozigou Viewing Platform! You can see the snow-capped mountains and the tunnel~
