What? You've never been to Sayram Lake?

Spring in Xinjiang is like a poem written by God for the world||✨ "Here, the wind is free, and so are you. How should I describe Xinjiang? ✨ Grasslands, snow-capped mountains, and wildflowers can be seen everywhere ❣️ Sayram Lake is located in the Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang and is one of China's largest alpine lakes. It not only offers beautiful scenery but also unique food culture and accommodation experiences. ❣️ The food around Sayram Lake features Xinjiang specialties, with the most representative being whole roasted lamb and pilaf. The lamb, traditionally roasted by herdsmen, is crispy on the outside and tender inside, seasoned with special spices for a unique flavor. The pilaf is made with quality rice stewed with carrots and lamb, giving off a delicious aroma. Other Xinjiang classics include naan with meat and "Big Plate Chicken." The cold-water fish from the lake is also a must-try delicacy, with tender meat that can be steamed or braised. ❣️ There are various accommodation options in and around the scenic area. Sayram Lake Hotel is the most upscale hotel in the area, with complete facilities and some rooms offering lake views. Lakeside resorts provide special Mongolian yurt accommodations, allowing tourists to experience grassland living. There are also many budget hotels and farmstays that are affordable, clean, and tidy. It's recommended to book in advance during the summer tourist season, as some hotels close during winter. Regardless of your choice, you'll experience the warm hospitality of the Xinjiang people.
