Once you arrive, you'll be so cold you'll turn into a big fool—remember to dress warmly for Sayram Lake in winter

Xinjiang Sayram Lake | A Dreamy Winter Journey✨ The winter at [Sayram Lake] is like a magical world of ice and snow. Here is a roughly 500-word winter travel guide👇 📖 Itinerary: - 🚩 Day 1: After arriving in Bole City, rent a car or take the direct shuttle to the East Gate of Sayram Lake Scenic Area. Stay at a guesthouse or RV campsite in the eastern lakeside area. In the afternoon, stroll along the wooden boardwalk and enjoy the golden spectacle of the half-frozen lake at sunset. - 🚩 Day 2: Depart from the East Gate to visit Moon Bay and the Waterside Beach, watch the swan flock, then climb the Dianjiangtai platform for a panoramic view of the lake. Visit the film city to learn about the history. - 🚩 Day 3: Head west to Kele Yongzhu to explore the unfrozen Blue Ice Cave, then go to Songshutou, hike the wooden boardwalk, overlook Sayram Lake and Guozigou Valley, cross Guozigou Forest Park, and photograph the Guozigou Bridge. 🚗 Transportation: You can first fly or take a train to Urumqi or Yining, then transfer by plane or other transport to Bole City, and finally travel from Bole City to the East Gate of Sayram Lake. 🏠 Accommodation Guide: Choose from RV campsites inside the scenic area or guesthouses outside the East Gate for better views of the lake and snow. 🛍 Shopping Guide: Buy local handicrafts or specialties such as Kazakh embroidery and wool products. 🍜 Food Guide: Be sure to try specialty dishes like hand-pulled lamb, roasted buns, and highland white salmon. ❗ Notes: The temperature in the scenic area is low in winter, so wear warm clothes and anti-slip boots; UV rays are strong, so take sun protection; check the opening status and weather changes of the scenic area in advance and prepare to adjust your itinerary. Hope you have an unforgettable winter trip at Sayram Lake😄.
