The last tear of the Atlantic Ocean | Harvesting the miracle of the four seasons in the 2000-meter cloud

"Blue ice cracks, swan breaks dawn!" When the first golden light pierced the ice, I stood on the lake at -20°C, and suddenly understood what is called "Sailimu Lake Blue" - here is the lake water, clearly the galaxy crushed and tempered sapphire 💎 🗺️ [Rampage Route] Enter East Gate → Moon Bay → Waterfront Beach (Swan Haunt!!️) → Point Jiang Tai → Kele Chung Pearl → Pine Tree Head → South Gate exit 💡 It is recommended to drive / charter around the lake (90km), clockwise to avoid backlight, ticket + self-driving ticket 💰 145 / person 🌟【Three Miracle Moments】 ❶ Kele Chung Pearl Swan Dance (May-June only!!️) The telephoto lens is framed in the morning light, and suddenly the snow-white wings cut through the surface of the cobalt blue lake! The swan family circles gracefully at the spring, and from a drone perspective they look like elves dancing ballet on an ice lake🦢 ❷ Pine tree head cloud stroll Climb the 2000-level wooden canyon directly to the top! Caught off guard by God's perspective - the Guozigou Bridge is like a silver dragon entrenched in the snowy ridge, and the clouds are rolling under your feet like a sea of ​​​​cream🌉 ❸ Blue Ice Blast Spectacle (January-March exclusive) Squatting in the morning to guard the moment when the ice cracks! There was a roar like boring thunder from the center of the lake, spider webs spread rapidly on the ice, broken ice refracted Tiffany blue in the morning light, and it was so cold that I couldn't wait to blink❄️ 📸 [Guide to Video Metaphysics] ▪️Point the stage sunrise: Use the mani pile as the foreground, shoot the golden light tearing open the frozen lake ▪️S-bend highway: low camera position, so that the highway and snow mountain collide at the end of the camera ▪️ Water-friendly beach reflection: crouching down to shoot when there is no wind, the snow-capped mountains on the lake surface like copy sticking 🍜【Huye Delicious】 ▪️High white salmon shop: cold water fish sashimi glowing pearly luster, 💰 small expensive but worth it ▪️ Herdsmen's ready-to-cook milk tea: savory milk skin with glutinous rice, 5 yuan warm through cold hands ▪️Wild applesauce: the secret gift of roadside stalls, spread bread and eat the fragrance of Tianshan ⚠️ Blood and Tears Experience: 1️⃣ Down jacket + warm baby! I went in April and encountered a blizzard, the body temperature was -15°C 2️⃣ Wear snow sunglasses! The midday sunlight reflected off the ice comparable to a laser weapon 3️⃣ Fill up in advance! There is no gas station in the scenic area, the nearest one is in Midway Town Paralyzed sitting in the herdsmen’s huts, eating toasted buns, watching hawks and falcons skimming over prayer flags. The ice edges carved by the westerly wind, the water diamonds splattered by the swans, and the northern goats suddenly appearing deep in the pine forests all speak to the same truth—the ultimate purity that often grows on the margins of civilization. It is recommended to bring a copy of "Xu Xiake's Travels" for comparison (although he has never visited), when reading "Under the dome, great beauty is speechless", looking up is the twilight dye the lake water Klein blue. Next time we will come during the July flower season, see how the golden lotus burns the grassland into a flowing oil painting ~🌼
