The lake surface is like a mirror in the early morning or evening, making it the best time for photography. - Moon Bay: Shaped like a crescent moon, the lake water is green, surrounded by dense forests, and the scenery is pleasant. It is recommended to take a boat to get a closer look at the lake and mountains. - Fairy Bay: The lake surface is wide, the water is blue, and it is surrounded by high mountains and forests, like a fairyland. You can walk along the lakeside path to feel the tranquility and beauty of nature. - Hemu Village: A typical Tuva village that retains traditional wooden houses and lifestyle, with unique natural scenery and cultural landscapes. Sayram Lake - Moon Bay: The first scenic spot when entering from the east gate, shaped like a crescent moon, suitable for watching the sunset. There are rich entertainment projects such as sailing, go-karting, horse teams, and camel teams. - Borhan Mountain: About 10 kilometers long, it is covered with Siberian original cypress (commonly known as creeping pine), which looks like camouflage from a distance, also known as 'Camouflage Mountain.' - Sail Creek: The highest boulder in the scenic area stands by the lake, engraved with the words 'Pure Sea of the Western Regions Sayram Lake.' The creek flows into the lake all year round. - Blessing Pavilion: Located by the lake at the north gate, it has popular check-in spots such as the Golden Toad Stone and the pavilion for blessing and lake viewing. - Command Platform: It has a diameter of 13 meters and features an obo and flagpoles symbolizing the Eight Banners of the Mongolian people, allowing you to experience historical culture. - Golden Flower Purple Flower: The Three-Stage Grassland Scenic Area, where the grass is green and flowers bloom during the melting snow period. - Kele Yongzhu: The only non-freezing spot in Sayram Lake in winter, where spring water continuously gushes out. 🏨【Accommodation Guide】: Ctrip Four Diamonds + Century-old Wooden House 🧡【Tips】: Bring a windproof jacket, and in winter, you need warm equipment such as down jackets. The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are strong, so you need to prepare sunscreen, sunglasses, and sun hats. Choose non-slip and comfortable hiking shoes. - Altitude Sickness: Some tourists may experience mild altitude sickness, so it is recommended to prepare oxygen bottles or Rhodiola in advance and avoid drinking too much water. - Time Difference: Xinjiang uses Beijing time, but the actual schedule is 2 hours later than inland areas. Most scenic spots are open from 10:00 to 19:00, and the schedule may be adjusted in winter, so plan your itinerary in advance. - Environmental Protection: Take your trash with you, do not pick flowers and plants (some are poisonous and thorny). - Safety First: Do not walk alone on the ice in winter, stay away from cattle and sheep in summer, and be careful of gravel on pastoral roads when driving.
