Shivering on Sayram Lake 😣


Sailimu Lake will severely punish everyone who does not do the guide!

Driving around the lake Salimu knowledge can be too much! If you have time, be sure to arrange a 2-day road trip around the lake, camping by the lake, sunrise and sunset.

⭕ Entrance and exit options: 🚘 It is recommended to enter the east door and exit the south door
East gate: can enter and exit, the most people choose the entrance, the peak season is crowded late to find a parking space
North gate: can enter and exit, to Alashankou and hot spring County
South gate: only out and not in, to the Guozigou Bridge (❗ blood and tears lesson, do not plan to go to the Guozigou south gate into Saimu, looking at the near actual or detour fast two hours to the East gate into 😭)


⭕ Direction around the lake:
🚗 Suggested arrival in the morning clockwise: 1️⃣ take photos smoothly, 2️⃣ avoid traffic, 3️⃣ Have enough time to play pine head in depth (there is a wooden plank road can walk up the mountain to see the panorama of Sailimu Lake and the distant snow mountain, Time 2 hours), 4️⃣ all the way to Kelyong Joo/West Sea Grassland before sunset to watch the sunset, 5️⃣ directly camp in West Sea Grassland parking lot has a restaurant, toilets, hot water and flat ground (❗ don't camp in the lakeshore meadow, super humid sleeping bag is wet don't ask me how to know!)

🚗 counterclockwise will be better in the afternoon: 1️⃣ temperature is high, in the afternoon to its crescent play water sports, watch the sunset, long beach, 2️⃣ miles 3️⃣ near the three grassland camp camping, 4️⃣ next day all day to play all the way to the south gate.

⭕ Highlights Must go:
🔸 look at the swan: do not go to the swan music water, the shore grass are treading bald water is also very mixed swan one or two. Go to Kler Chung bead, water clear goose more or less can also see the sunset.

🔸 Look at the sea of flowers: ✅ on the left of the east gate ticket gate Yu Beauty flower sea, Jinhua purple Hui daisies flax flowers big shore chrysanthemum sea rest assured. See the panorama of Sayrimu: Be sure to go to the pine head to take the wooden trestle to the hillside! Give you the bluest Atlantic tears! Sparkling and snow-capped mountains! Look at S Bend: 15km south of the East gate entrance wilderness S Bend (less people and beautiful scenery), network red highway S bend golden flower purple Ou east 10km (early to go, afternoon people!)

🔸 Watch the sunrise: West sea grassland, dot, Jinhua purple Ou
🔸 Watch the sunset: Moon Bay, Santai Grassland, ten Li Long Embankment

⭕ Seasonal views:
January - March blue ice season, bubble ice and ice flower

June-july grasslands and wildflowers bloom, with a sea of flowers
From mid-August to October, the grasslands turn yellow and the air is crisp in autumn
The lake freezes in November and December, and there is a spectacle of ice pushing

❗ Don't run empty! No ice piles in June, no flowers in August, and no ice world in October!

It's hard to hear, but there's really only one thing to eat in Sayram Lake...

I've always believed that when you travel in one place, you can't have both food and beauty. On the one hand, we are pressed for time, and the special forces schedule makes it impossible for us to explore more delicious food in the destination. On the other hand, past experience has shown that restaurants in scenic areas are often not very delicious!

This time in Saiimu Lake, in addition to mutton kebabs, I really did not eat other food that can impress me, counting these foods, my experience is as follows:

High whitefish: It is the only living thing in Sayram Lake, and it is too much to say that Sayram Lake is unique. In each section of the Sayram Lake there will be high whitefish specialty restaurants, high whitefish delicate, fresh, but I do not like the reason is that it is delicate and fresh. The first time I tasted it was amazing, and the second time I ate it I felt greasy, which is my biggest feeling about this food.

Shashlik: "Roast fragrant sleeve, saliva dripping", this is the word I can think of when referring to the shashlik of Sayimu Lake. I'm a heavy flavour lover, and the addition of enough cumin and chilli coupled with the freshness of the fresh lamb itself, without a hint of taint, impressed me. Count up, my two days in the Saiimu Lake 4 meals, there are 3 meals are eating lamb kebabs!

The time in Sayram Lake is not too long, but enjoying the beautiful scenery of Sayram Lake while tasting delicious mutton kebabs will surely be one of the highlights of my memory in this life.
