Ulungur Lake is the tail lake of Ulungur River, which can be divided into two parts: Dahaizi (Buluntohai) and Xiaohaizi (Jili Lake). Dahaizi is about 48.1 kilometers long, 25.3 kilometers wide, and covers an area of ​​736 square kilometers. It is a saltwater lake; Xiaohaizi covers an area of ​​160 square kilometers, is about 16.8 kilometers long, and 6.3 kilometers wide. It is a freshwater lake. The southeastern shore of Dahaizi is a beach made of fine and soft white quartz sand, without silt, with a gentle slope at the bottom of the lake and clear water. The lake shore is mostly surrounded by fixed and semi-fixed sand dunes; the western shore is covered with reeds and swamps, and the lakeside is a lake plain; the northern shore has a silver beach about 10 kilometers long, suitable for water entertainment activities such as swimming, Surfing, skateboarding, and boating. There are well-equipped seaside bathing beaches and recreational facilities by the lake. Dahaizi has charming scenery, and sunset glow, fishermen's songs, lake light and sky, cloud shadows, and sunset birds are common beautiful sights. Xiaohaizi is located in the south of Dahaizi. The scenery you see when you go boating on the lake is comparable to the "800-li Dongting Lake": calamus and reeds grow densely on the east coast and both sides of the estuary; the bird island in the lake is a "bird paradise" with seagulls spreading their wings, white swans and spotted cranes, and flocks of wild ducks in summer and autumn. Bird nests and eggs are everywhere on the island. Wherever people go, birds fly away in surprise, and the lake is full of vitality. Ulungur Lake is also rich in more than 10 kinds of fish, including carp, crucian carp, pine perch, red perch, and white pike. After sightseeing, you can enjoy a whole fish feast with excellent color, fragrance, and taste. Among them, fish stewed with asafoetida mushrooms is a famous product of Altay, which is extremely delicious.Altay City · 67.3 km from downtown

98 yuan is a great deal, highly recommended, and it's right in the city center. The sunset is absolutely stunning, far more beautiful than any sunset at Baihaba. The concert after sunset features really good music. A great choice to come here after returning from Kanas. General Mountain, I feel like I owe you a skiing experience. Our short visit of just over an hour left me wanting more. This project is very well managed. If you need to take the train, don't wait until 9:30 PM to go down the mountain, as it will likely be crowded.

The changes of the sunset at Ulungur Lake in Altay in 30 minutes. This is a seaside sunset that belongs to Xinjiang alone. 🌇 A thick layer of ice has formed on the Ulungur Lake in winter. 🧊 The team leaders will wait at the best viewing point of Ulungur Lake according to the time. ❗Best sunset time: arrive around 17:00 and leave after 19:30.

A visit to Altay City is essential, as it's a must-see. Birch Forest Park is a truly wonderful destination. Stepping into the park is like stepping into a fairytale. The lush birch trees intertwine their branches, and sunlight filters through the gaps, creating a dappled landscape. Strolling through the garden, the soft, fallen leaves rustle beneath your feet, seemingly telling a story of ages past. A clear, gurgling stream adds a touch of vibrant beauty to the tranquil park. Away from the hustle and bustle, this place allows you to fully experience the tranquility and beauty of nature, making it the perfect place for relaxation and play.

It's a great place to drive up the mountain. The road is beautiful, and they're still working on a post station and hotel. The climb is easy, not very high, and there's only a lookout at the top. Admission is free.

1. Breathtaking Scenery: Strolling along the lakeshore, your feet glide over shimmering ice floes, the distant snow-capped mountains clearly visible against a breathtakingly blue sky. It's like a scene from the movie *Frozen*! No filters needed, every frame is a work of art! (This ice floating activity is similar to the one experienced by "Flowers and Youth" in Iceland; similar clubs offer this activity in Antarctica, the Arctic, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Russia.) 📸 2. A Magical Physical Experience: Wearing a dry-weather suit, you're completely enveloped, only your face and hands feeling the cool air and the touch of the seawater. The fusion of ice and fire is mesmerizing! 3. Spiritual Purification: Floating on the ice, the whole world seems to quiet down. You can only hear the crunch of falling ice and your own breathing. All worries seem to freeze and instantly vanish. It's so healing! 🧘‍♀️ 🌟 Unexpected Benefits: ✅ Complete Stress Relief: The calm after an adrenaline rush is more effective than any meditation. ✅ Boost Immunity: Short-term cold stimulation is a "super method" for training the immune system. ✅ Unique Photos/Videos: These photos/videos will garner countless likes on social media! They'll definitely become your personal calling card! 💥 ✅ Challenge Yourself: Your confidence will soar after the experience! You'll feel incredibly brave! 💡 Practical Tips: · Safe and Secure! A professional coaching team will accompany you throughout the trip and provide practical guidance. · Drysuits are very warm; simply wear a thin thermal undershirt and a hoodless fleece jacket underneath. We recommend bringing thick socks and a thin balaclava. After the trip, a hot, delicious cup of fruity ginger tea will warm you up instantly! So thoughtful!

The most famous spot in the scenic area is Camel Peak, which looks like a sitting or lying camel resting from a distance.

The Altai Mountain Hot Spring Forest Park has a beautiful natural environment and infinitely beautiful original scenery. There are large birch forests and many hot springs in the scenic area. Although the transportation here is convenient, the communication is not very good, and there are not many tourists visiting here, so you can fully enjoy a good life.

It is said that his place is very clean. Let’s try it. It is indeed clean👍🏻. I was the only one in the bath. The scrubbing🧼 and🈶️ package was 139 yuan💰. The aunt was sweeping the floor🧹 cleaning the shelves and trash cans🗑️ during the whole bath🚿 process. Especially the waiter Pipi. As soon as I entered the women’s bath, I was amazed by the beauty of the young lady. The whole process was warm❤️‍🔥service. Seeing that I was inconvenient to move, I was particularly concerned about me. Telling me jokes was very likable. She also took me to the rest area on the second floor. This service is unmatched🥰 2️⃣ Floor: video games🎮 lazy sofas, canteen🍦 steam room♨️ mahjong🀄️, 39 yuan self-service hot pot 3️⃣ Floor🈶️ cinema🎦 massage💆🏻‍♀️💆🏻 and rest area The recliner is large and comfortable I even fell asleep accidentally... The only drawback is that there is no elevator🛗 Because many skiers who come here are injured, climbing up and down🈶️ is a bit inconvenient I hope it can be improved next time I come🈶️
