Travel Guide for the Indigenous People of Xinjiang at Sayram Lake

🌟Day1: 10:30 Depart from Urumqi, arrive at the hotel at 5:00 to check in, start exploring at 5:30, and return to the hotel at 8:30. Fill up the gas in Urumqi, refuel at the Wutai Service Area, and had a mixed soup. 🏨The accommodation hotel is located at the East Gate scenic area. The hotel environment and facilities are good, and the breakfast includes spicy chicken, boiled shrimp, Xinjiang milk tea, Boer Sack, and other Xinjiang delicacies. The variety of dishes is quite rich. We arrived in the afternoon, so we played from the East Gate counterclockwise to the North Gate and then turned back to the hotel. This section includes attractions like Moon Bay, Ten-mile Embankment, Santai Grassland, Qingshui Beach, Prayer Bay, etc., with popular ice pillars and ice pushing on this side. This side is perfect for watching the sunset in the evening, which is super beautiful. Pictures 1-4 are the sceneries we passed on the first day. ‼️It's not very convenient to eat nearby, so we had a self-heating hot pot, naan, cold skin noodles, snacks, duck necks, and chicken feet at the hotel in the evening. 🌟Day2: Set off after 9 am, play from the East Gate clockwise to the North Gate, leave the scenic area at 5:30 pm to go to the Ancient Road Hot Spring Health Center, arrive at around 7 pm, had mixed noodles nearby, and then started soaking in the hot springs. We strolled very slowly along the way around Sayram Lake, stopping to take photos wherever the scenery was beautiful, so we spent a lot of time playing, and at noon we just ate some beef jerky, naan, and bread in the car. Attractions on this road include Pine Tree Head, West Sea Grassland, Swan Music Water, Point General Platform, Khan Bay, etc., with popular swans, hot air balloons, and S Bay on this side. The Ancient Road Hot Spring Health Center has dozens of pools of various sizes. When we went there, there were very few people, and we could pick any pool. The water quality looked very clean, with almost no floating objects. In addition, there are many green plants here, giving the feeling of soaking in a hot spring in a tropical rainforest. 🌟Day3: Depart after having breakfast at 11 am, passed Shawan to have a big plate chicken, refueled at the Sanping Service Area, and arrived home at 6:30 pm. 💡Little tips: ·For winter travel, it is recommended to bring some food and water, as the restaurants in the scenic area are almost all closed, and the prices can be quite expensive. ·Bring warm items such as hats, gloves, scarves, etc., as the temperature is still quite low in the morning and evening. It's also necessary to bring a thermos. ·The ticket is valid for 48 hours, so you can continue to enter on the second day after buying the ticket in the afternoon of the first day. They will also check the ticket when leaving the scenic area, so keep the ticket safe.
