There are plenty of entertainment options here: sailing, go-karts, horse teams, camel teams, etc. 🏔️ Borohun Mountain: Borohun Mountain is about 10 kilometers long. A type of shrub called 'Siberian Cypress' grows on the mountain, also known as 'Creeping Pine', which is a shrub about 50-60 centimeters tall that looks like green vegetation clinging to the ground from afar. Because its color resembles camouflage, the mountain is also called 'Camouflage Mountain'. 🚢 Sail Creek: Here stands the tallest boulder in the scenic area by the lake, with 8 gilded characters engraved on it: 'Western Pure Sea - Sayram Lake'. A small stream called 'Sail Creek' flows into the lake here all year round. 🗿 Prayer Pavilion: At the north gate by the lake, a rock shaped like a toad has become a popular photo spot. To the east of the toad rock, there is a pavilion reached by steps, which is the highest viewpoint on the north side of the lake, where you can pray and enjoy the view. 🚩 Point Commanding Platform: At the Point Commanding Platform, there is an Obo with a diameter of 13 meters, surrounded by colorful Hada scarves. There are 4 tall flagpoles on each side of the Obo, symbolizing the eight banners of the Mongolian people, with a base diameter of 5 meters. Here you can feel the history of Genghis Khan leading a 200,000-strong army on a grand westward campaign 800 years ago. 🌻 Golden Flowers and Purple Plants: During the snowmelt period in the Santai Grassland landscape area, the grass is lush and various flowers bloom competitively. It is a great place to see a sea of flowers. 🍀 Kele Spring Beads: 'Kele' means 'all springs'. The spot is located in the freshwater marshland by the lake and is the only place in Sayram Lake that does not freeze in winter. Springs gush out continuously, making it the most concentrated area of spring flow in Sayram Lake. 🌲 Pine Tree Top: In summer, you can reach the top of the mountain along the winding wooden walkway, where you can enjoy the grandeur, strangeness, beauty, tranquility, and vastness of Sayram Lake. The pine forest is filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers, and the scent of pine trees is refreshing. There are several wooden platforms for visitors to rest, complete with wooden benches and tables, making it a pleasant place to have tea and chat.
