Nature has a kind of power—The stunning healing sea view of Xinjiang

That blue under the Tianshan Mountains! The healing power of Sayram Lake in Xinjiang is incredible 💙 You don’t realize how vast China is until you visit Xinjiang! Sayram Lake is truly a must-visit magical place in Xinjiang! The "last drop of the Atlantic" reachable by high-speed train in 5 hours, every photo looks like a computer desktop wallpaper! 📍Address: Sayram Lake Scenic Area, Bole City, Xinjiang 🚗 Travel tip: It’s recommended to rent a car and drive from Urumqi (about 5.5 hours), the scenery along the way is beautiful 1️⃣ Moon Bay The first stop you must check in! Blue lake water + snowy mountain backdrop, the lakeside boardwalk is perfect for photos 📸 Tips: The light is softest before 10 AM 2️⃣ Waterside Beach Walk to the lake edge and touch the icy cold water! Swans often appear in this area 🐦 Hidden tip: Bring some bread to feed the swans 3️⃣ Pine Tree Head Climb halfway up the mountain to see the full view of the lake! Those with good stamina can hike to the summit ⏰ Duration: About 1.5 hours round trip on foot Must-shoot spots: 🔹 Corner of the Moon Bay boardwalk (lake + snowy mountain in one frame) 🔹 S-shaped road (amazing drone perspective) Food recommendations: 🍢 Grilled buns at the scenic area entrance! The lamb filling is juicy 🍶 Handmade yogurt with jam, sweet and sour to refresh your palate Notes to remember: ✔️ UV rays are very strong! Sunglasses + hat are a must ✔️ Drones are not allowed inside the scenic area (registration required at the entrance) ✔️ Big temperature difference between morning and evening, bring a windbreaker
