Travel Diary | Xinjiang Sayram Lake Was Worth It

There is a kind of blue called Sayram Lake Blue🩵 Once again healed by the winter sunshine and lake water of Sayram Lake, life was not lived in vain. Before coming, I had always heard that Sayram Lake is very windy and cold. But on the day I arrived, the sky was clear with no wind, super warm 🌞 and I even saw the sunset and the sun and moon shining together over Sayram Lake. The loop around Sayram Lake is 90 kilometers, about 2 hours of pure driving. If you stop at every scenic spot to take photos, it feels like 2 days are needed because each spot has its own unique beauty—there’s a lighthouse, swans 🦢, 1314, squirrels 🐿️, and a particularly beautiful lakeside boardwalk. Sayram Lake is especially suitable for telephoto photography 📸. In terms of beauty, Sayram Lake can rival Qinghai Lake, and it has a red lakeside boardwalk all around, which really makes for stunning photos. ❗For those who want to shoot the 199 RMB "dry land onion picking" style, don’t get scammed here. They show you great sample photos before shooting, but in the end, they just do some random editing and treat it as a one-time business. If you’re very dissatisfied and call the boss, they won’t even answer.
