The most beautiful and comfortable place is Sailimu Lake
The recent sunset time of Sailimu Lake is 19:15, the sunrise time is 10:10, the highest temperature is -5, the lowest is -14, and the recent weather of Sailimu Lake is very good.
Moreover, the weather forecast of Sailimu Lake is not very accurate. Several times the forecast is cloudy or overcast, but when I arrive at Sailimu Lake, it is sunny. So I always tell tourists that Sailimu Lake really depends on luck!
It is suggested to drive by oneself or pack a small group for free travel to Sailimu Lake, which is very convenient. I have prepared a hot pot for the snow field. It's really comfortable to eat hot pot while watching the sunset! The ice pushing of Sailimu Lake is about to start.

1. Enjoy the lake and mountain scenery: Surrounded by mountains, the lake is clear and clean. You can walk along the lake or take a boat tour to enjoy the lake and mountain scenery and feel the tranquility and beauty of nature.
2. Climb the surrounding peaks: There are some peaks suitable for hiking and climbing around Sayram Lake, such as Bogda Peak and Klar Peak. You can choose to climb the peaks and overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire Sayram Lake.
3. Experience ethnic culture: There are ethnic minorities such as Kazakhs and Kirgiz living around Sayram Lake. You can experience the local ethnic customs and culture, taste delicious food, enjoy ethnic song and dance performances, and understand their traditional way of life.
4. Watch wild animals and plants: The area around Sayram Lake is a unique ecological environment of the Tianshan Mountains. You can watch various wild animals and plants, such as brown bears, snow leopards, squirrels, etc., as well as alpine meadows and vegetation at different altitudes.

Sayram Lake is an ideal holiday destination. You can enjoy the gifts of nature here and feel the tranquility and peace that is isolated from the world. When visiting, please protect the environment, love nature, and visit in a civilized manner.

Hemu Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
I stayed in Xinjiang for a month to tell you some things not to do
Don't ask how much the ticket is, ask how many years of youth are left. I decided to embark on a journey to Xinjiang in the northwest of my motherland, using a month to find my lost soul. After coming back, I am full of motivation, often staring at the photos in a daze.
To help friends who want to go to Xinjiang, I have compiled this travel guide, hoping to help everyone!
Where should I go first when I go to Xinjiang for the first time?
Urumqi, as the transportation hub of Xinjiang, is very convenient whether it is South Xinjiang or North Xinjiang. It is recommended to choose Urumqi as the first stop, because whether it is a group tour or self-driving, almost all vehicles start from here.
Precautions:
Time difference: There is a 2-hour time difference between Xinjiang and the mainland
Many ethnic minorities are used to saying Xinjiang time
Security check: Xinjiang's security check is very strict, train stations and airports require multiple security checks, it is recommended to go to the train station/airport in advance
Accommodation recommendation:
Urumqi: Recommend Friendly Business Circle or Zhongshan Road Business Circle
Kanas: Recommend Beitun City, secondly, Jadunyu and Burqin can be recommended
Hemu: Recommend staying in the scenic area log cabin, watching the stars all over the sky at night, increasing the play time during the day, and the experience is better
Sailimu Lake: Accommodation is recommended to stay in Qingshuihe Town or Huocheng County
Our self-driving route:
Starting from Urumqi, go to Sailimu Lake—Huocheng—Zhaosu—Tekes—Qiongkushitai—Nalati—Duku Highway, and finally return to Urumqi from Dushanzi.
The route is just a circle, which is a classic Yili ring line.
ps: The above self-driving journey is 12 days in total, a total of 2300 kilometers, without rushing to the road and rushing to the scenic spots, often 5-6 hours of self-driving time every day. I feel that rest and maintaining a good state are necessary.
Must-visit attractions:
Qiongkushitai: The grassland covering the sky, the fairy tale forest like a mist, the small wooden house with grass on the head, every eye is super healing
Huocheng Lavender: The purple sea of flowers tumbling with the wind is really romantic
Tangbula Fairy Lake: A small popular secret that needs to ride a horse up the mountain, accompanied by flowers all the way, it seems to be Alice in Wonderland
Nalati Grassland: The aerial photography and self-driving of the grassland and valley in the sky are absolutely amazing!
Sailimu Lake: "The last tear of the Atlantic"
If you have plenty of time, you must go for a self-driving tour around the lake
Duku Highway: Duku Highway that must be self-driving once in a lifetime! It will open around mid-June every year, and you will feel the four seasons along the way.
Xinjiang cuisine:
The big plate chicken, lamb skewers, roasted lamb chops, and roasted buns in Xinjiang are really amazing, and those who like heavy tastes can close their eyes.
ps: There are also old yogurt, cold water fish, hand-grabbed rice, wrapped meat, pulled strips and other delicacies waiting for you to taste!

A comprehensive guide to Xinjiang tourism! Beautiful scenery, delicious food, none can be missed!
Xinjiang, this mysterious and rich land, under the influence of the Silk Road, has bred a unique style. This time, let me share with you a travel experience in Xinjiang, as well as some precautions and accommodation recommendations.
First of all, for those who go to Xinjiang for the first time, my suggestion is to choose Urumqi as the first stop. The transportation here is convenient, and the time difference is two hours later than Beijing time, remember to adjust your biological clock! In Urumqi, you can visit the natural scenery such as Tianshan Tianchi and Nanshan Pasture, and feel the magnificence of Xinjiang.
In terms of accommodation, different regions have different places to stay. For Kanas, Hemu and Sayram Lake, you can choose to stay in Beitun City, Jiadengyu and Burqin. These places are not only close to the attractions, but also have complete facilities, which can allow you to get sufficient rest during the journey.
If you come to Narati Grassland, I strongly recommend you to stay in the log cabins in the scenic area. There, you can better appreciate the starry sky and increase the play time. Imagine, on the quiet grassland, looking up at the stars, do you feel extremely relaxed and comfortable?
Speaking of self-driving routes, I want to recommend an Yili ring line. This route starts from Urumqi, passes through Sayram Lake, Huocheng, Zhaosu, Tekes, Qiongkushitai, Narati and Duku Highway, and finally returns to Urumqi from Dushanzi. The entire route is about 2300 kilometers, requires 12 days, and drives an average of 5-6 hours a day. On this route, you will appreciate the magnificent scenery and rich cultural landscape of Xinjiang.
In terms of attractions, I recommend Qiongkushitai, Huocheng Lavender, Tangbula Fairy Lake, Narati Grassland, Sayram Lake and Duku Highway. Qiongkushitai is a charming fairy tale forest with tall pine trees and clear streams; Huocheng Lavender is a romantic purple flower sea, which makes people intoxicated; Tangbula Fairy Lake is a small popular secret, the lake is green as jade; Narati Grassland is a beautiful air grassland and valley grassland, with herds of cattle and sheep, picturesque scenery; Sayram Lake is a beautiful lake, the lake is clear and bottomless; Duku Highway is a journey that makes people feel the four seasons, and the scenery along the way is changeable and beautiful.
Of course, the food in Xinjiang is also not to be missed. Big plate chicken, lamb skewers, roasted lamb chops, rack meat, roasted buns and other delicious foods make people drool. In addition, there are old yogurt, cold water fish, hand-grabbed rice, bagged meat and latiao and other special foods waiting for you to taste. Here, your taste buds will be greatly satisfied.
In general, this trip to Xinjiang is an unforgettable experience. From Urumqi to the Yili ring line, to the Narati Grassland and the Duku Highway, I have felt the unique style and beautiful scenery of Xinjiang. At the same time, I have also summarized some precautions and accommodation recommendations, hoping to provide some help and reference for your trip to Xinjiang.
Now plan your trip to Xinjiang! On this beautiful land, you will gain unforgettable memories and wonderful experiences. Wish you a pleasant journey!

Kanas Scenic Area | Super detailed guide sharing
Tourists' basic walking route is to go to Jiadenyu to buy tickets to enter Kanas Scenic Area, so staying in Kanas is equivalent to staying in the scenic area.
I personally highly recommend staying in the scenic area, so the itinerary will not be too rushed, and those with luggage can put their luggage in the inn before going out to visit~ Kanas weather is changeable, sunny and rainy, remember to prepare an umbrella!
🎈Detailed route into the scenic area:
For self-driving friends, cars cannot enter the scenic area. Navigate to Jiadenyu parking lot in advance, cars can only be parked here, take your luggage and transfer to the scenic area bus to the visitor center, and then transfer to the bus into Kanas.

All are small wooden houses, divided into two areas

❷New Village: It is relatively far from the visitor center, you need to call the inn owner to pick you up, but the accommodation conditions are slightly better.
⭐Recommend to stay in the old village, near!

Kashgar Old Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The old city of Kashgar is not as good for strolling as imagined, but I would still visit if I come again
The off-season old city of Kashgar is somewhat bleak
Many shops are closed
It's deserted, and I couldn't feel the bustling scene of the old city.
If you just want to check in at popular spots and take cosplay photos, then traveling in the off-season would be a good time (⚠️Some popular spots are also closed in the off-season: such as the rooftop photos many people take). No need to wait, take as long as you want. We walked from the east city to the west city, and then walked back to the east city from the west city. Apart from the people living in the old city, there were hardly any tourists.
The old city of Kashgar is divided into east and west areas, separated by a main road
1⃣️【East Area】: Opening ceremony (one at 10:30 and 18:00 each), Sky Garden, TV tower internet celebrity spot, Corner Coffee, rooftop photos, Bazaar food street, etc. are all in the east area; the east area is relatively lively and larger
2⃣️【West Area】: Century-old teahouse, Rainbow Lane, Cloth Bag Box, Antique Street, Oil Painting Street are all here;
🌟There will be relatively fewer places to eat and stay in the off-season, but there is absolutely no need to worry. It is recommended to play for 2 days, one day in the east area and one day in the west area.
This time is just a meeting, and I will definitely experience the bustling old city of Kashgar when I go again in the peak season.

Sisters, it's really beautiful in Kashgar
Zebra Xinjiang Lake·Feng Villa, should be the best guesthouse in the old city of Kashgar. There are eight rooms, each with its own unique theme, the lighting and bedding are very thoughtful, especially the public area is decorated with great care, it is said to be the collection of the couple who run the place over the past eight years. A rooftop swimming pool, rarely seen in the border areas, has been built on the rooftop. You can sit on the ground surrounded by ethnic textiles, eat Uighur-style breakfast, and gaze at the Kunlun Tower, endless romance.

Xinjiang Kashi| The rooftop of the homestay took a lifetime photo| Exotic style
Shake off the inventory of October
The exotic style of the ancient city of Kashi has always attracted me
I set off directly before the weather got too cold
I arrived at the homestay in the afternoon and put my luggage in the room
I went straight to the rooftop
It satisfied all my imagination
Characteristic buildings, a lot of carpets, carefully arranged scenes
As a perfect start to this trip

🏠: Jiulongquan Homestay Rooftop

ps: If you don't stay, it's 50RMB/person to go to the rooftop to take pictures

👉About taking pictures
I chose a champagne-colored suspender dress and a green sweater coat
The color tone is more in line
The big coat has a lazy feeling
You can walk around and turn around a lot naturally
