Island country Tianshan, sea sky lake~ I found the romantic place to go to the mountains and the sea! The boundless fertile grassland on the sea, and the spectacle of a freshwater lake in the middle of the grassland. I saw a romantic picture of the mountains and the sea composed of rolling grass waves, blue sea and sky, and lakes. There are small fishing villages, horses on the top of the island, and island residents live a slow life that is indifferent to the world. Very few people know about it! tips： 1️⃣The island departure times are generally before 15:00 in the afternoon. It is recommended to stay on the island for one night to quietly feel the slow life and watch the sunrise and sunset 2️⃣The island is relatively primitive and there is not much to eat. You can bring some dry food by yourself 3️⃣We stayed at NOMI all day and we won't get tired of it 4️⃣There is only chartered transportation on the island, it is very convenient to contact in advance 📍Yushan Island
