Winter at Sailimu Lake, a stunning blue ice secret realm that leaves you speechless!

This winter, I was deeply moved by the purity of Sailimu Lake. The snow-capped mountains stand quietly, the blue ice sparkles like gems under the sunlight, Stepping on the fluffy snow, each step makes a healing "crunch" sound, Though it's cold, the scenery before my eyes truly makes me forget to breathe. If you also plan to come, please keep this authentic experience + guide👇 📸 Photo outfit tips: Bright colors are key! Red, yellow, or blue coats, scarves, and hats stand out beautifully against the blue ice and white snow, making every shot look like a masterpiece. ✨ Must-try experiences (personally recommended): 1. Ice pushing wonder: Limited to January-February! On the south shore, ice blocks are pushed and stacked by waves into ice walls, like natural sculptures. 2. Blue ice lake center: The ice surface is as clear as a sapphire, with frozen bubbles visible beneath your feet, dreamlike and unreal. 3. Snow mountain reflections: Stroll along the lake, every corner offers poetic compositions of "lake as mirror, mountains as painting." 4. Starry sky ice lake: At night, the Milky Way hangs low, starlight sprinkles on the ice surface, as if stepping into a sci-fi movie scene. 🚗 Transportation tips: - Self-driving or chartering a car is recommended for flexibility. We departed from Karamay, about 6 hours away, with healing scenery along the way. - Tickets are 145 RMB per person, allowing 24-hour access. Staying overnight is recommended to fully enjoy without rushing. ❗️ Notes: - The ice surface is risky; do not step on thin ice areas. - No dining facilities in the scenic area; bringing your own snacks and hot water is a must. - Low temperatures drain batteries quickly; power banks + hand warmers are a lifesaving combo. - Check weather and road conditions before traveling; avoid times of heavy snow and road closures. - While photos are beautiful, remember to warm up in time to avoid frostbite. 💙 Finally, I want to say: Although my hands and feet went numb from the cold, seeing the blue ice reflecting the snow mountains made it all worthwhile. This winter secret spot with few people and beautiful scenery, who do you want to come with?
