Xinjiang | The winter of Sayram Lake is just too beautiful!!!

| The winter of Sayram Lake is just too beautiful!!! Is it worth visiting Sayram Lake in winter? 🌟 First, a few TIPS: - The lake area is mainly divided into the south and north zones, with a 90km loop around the lake, and it is recommended to spend 1-1.5 days for the visit. - Friendly for self-driving, starting from Urumqi, take the G30 Lianhuo Expressway to the Sayram Lake exit, and you will arrive at the east gate of the scenic area. - Only the east gate is open in winter, with the same entry and exit. - There are no separate dining facilities within the scenic area; all are located in the campsites, which can provide accommodation and have a nice environment. ✅ Recommended photo spots in the winter scenic area: 🍀 Picture 1 Cover - Swans playing in the water, south zone of Sayram Lake. 🍀 Pictures 2&3 Swans playing in the water, for those who want to get close to the swans, be sure to get off here for a photo. 🍀 Picture 4 The vast expanse of Kele Chongzhu. 🍀 Picture 5 Sunrise at the campsite within the scenic area. 🍀 Picture 6 North from the east gate entrance, sunset at Moon Bay. 🍀 Picture 7 Pine Tree Head in the south zone, the famous S-curve, thin ice on the lake surface at the end of January, but not yet frozen. 🌟 Other beautiful pictures: Pictures 8-10 Campsites within the scenic area Picture 11 Pink sunset viewing spot, Moon Bay (north zone) Pictures 12&13 Viewing platform near Kele Chongzhu Picture 14 Famous S-curve photo spot, Pine Tree Head ❤️ This is the second time Sayram Lake's beauty has moved me to tears. 😍 The first time was in the early summer of '17, when the waters of Sayram Lake were icy cold, but the sky was clear, and the Tianshan mountain range was reflected in the lake, like a fairyland. The second time is this winter season, coming for the blue ice, but due to a warm winter this year, it had not yet frozen solid by the end of January. According to friends, by early February, it was finally possible to walk on the ice. ❄️📷 Tips for winter travel photography: 🌈- The temperature difference between day and night at Sayram Lake in winter is significant. At the end of January, it was -11℃ during the day and my temperature measuring equipment showed -21℃ at night. In this weather, protect your equipment well, and avoid getting cold and damp. 🌈- Drones can be easily registered online with a "one mobile phone tour of Sayram Lake" by directly registering the drone ID, which is very convenient. Remember to preheat before taking off, and hover for at least 1-2 minutes. 🌈- When the weather in the lake area is good, the temperature will be lower with increasing altitude. The GPS signal is OK, but due to the low temperature, control is often unstable. When flying to the edge of the lake, try not to rely on the GPS display of the device, it is safer to watch the device with your eyes. 🌈- Pure white clothing is very photogenic, and recently, the young ladies who came to shoot have chosen Klein blue accessories more often. I chose a white-purple combination, which I think also has a cool feeling. In summary, if you can't handle warm colors like red, orange, yellow, cool tones have an indescribable 'aloof' feel, and they are very photogenic! 🌈- Don't miss the blue hour of sunrise and sunset. Xinjiang has a late sunrise and sunset, which is very friendly for friends who have not adjusted to the time difference. Sunrise is around 9 am, and sunset is around 7 pm.
