After returning from Xinjiang, I threw my skirt straight into the trash...

Because meadow mosquitoes love biting calves, and horse riding is so bumpy it’s easy to flash! But Sayram Lake in June, with kids rolling joyfully in the flower fields, can heal all worries~💐 🚗 Transportation Magic Skip the crowded shuttle buses! Charter a car from Yining via the old Guozigou route—roll down the windows to capture the gradient beauty of "snowy mountains → forests"🏔️. For self-driving, navigate directly to "Songshutou Parking Lot"—just a 5-minute walk to the lakeshore. ⛺ Heavenly Accommodation Pastoral yurts are unbeatable! Open the door to see the Milky Way reflected on the lake🌌. Stay in a Mongolian yurt at West Sea Grassland to milk cows and feed lambs🐑. If you’re sensitive to cold, choose the underfloor-heated rooms at Swan Paradise, with a terrace facing swans gliding by~ 🍢 Foodie Paradise ✅ High-whitefish dumplings: So fresh it’ll knock your socks off! Order "steamed + pan-fried" combos at scenic restaurants🐟—two flavors in one bite. ✅ Herder’s hand-torn lamb: Freshly boiled mutton with onions, sprinkled with cumin—finger-licking good! Picky kids? Try "sour milk curd + wild honey" in Kazakh tents at the mountain base—thick, sweet, and tangy🍯. 📸 Kid-Friendly Photo Ops ✅ West Sea Grassland: Shoot kids running with dandelions in the afternoon light, with "snow-capped mountains and flower carpets" as the backdrop—pure sweetness~ ✅ Dianjiangtai Boardwalk: Capture sunrise silhouettes "stepping on cloud ladders" as golden light splits the lake—epic vibes☀️. ✅ Swan Wetland: Bring naan bread to lure swans and snap pics of kids’ delighted faces surrounded by them🦢. 📍 3-Day Fun Itinerary Day 1: Afternoon East Lake loop (Moon Bay → Qinshui Beach) → Milk cows in the pasture, play "little herder." Day 2: Picnic at West Sea Grassland → Hike Songshutou to forage mushrooms → Yurt stargazing—own the Milky Way. Day 3: Photograph the cliff bridge at Guozigou Golden Summit → Head home, packing the beauty in your suitcase. 💡 Pro Tips for Kids • Wear full-body mosquito-proof pants! Grass bugs are relentless—protect those little legs. • Pack a foldable bucket! Wash wild strawberries in lake water for extra tangy sweetness🍓. • Bring thick wool socks! Yurt floors get chilly at night—warm toes = better sleep.
