A Golden Lakeshore Invitation from Lake Sayram in Fall

When autumn winds dress Lake Sayram in golden hues, this "Last Tear of the Atlantic" becomes even more mesmerizing and profound. After half a year, I'd like to share my travel guide to Lake Sayram. 🚗Transportation: Strongly recommend self-driving or hiring a private car. Lake Sayram has a circumference of about 90 km. Self-driving allows you to control your pace and stop anytime to capture fleeting beautiful moments. We started from Urumqi, enjoying picturesque views along the way, and by the time we reached Lake Sayram, we were already immersed in the joy of traveling. Entrance fee is CNY 70/person, shuttle bus is CNY 75/person, and self-driving lake circuit fee is CNY 143. Choose according to your needs. 🌅Route Tips: Enter from the east gate and exit from the south gate - this is the best choice. We arrived in the morning and chose to tour clockwise, perfect for lighting and photos. First stop is Moon Bay, like nature's spilled palette - golden grasslands, azure waters, and distant snow-capped peaks that never melt, creating a stunning autumn panorama. There are plenty of activities here - don't miss the sailing and go-karting if you're interested. Next is the Waterfront Beach, with its S-shaped boardwalk and C-shaped shoreline creating beautiful aesthetics. With fewer crowds and gorgeous scenery, it's perfect for both landscape and portrait photography. Here, I quietly watched the waves lap against the shore, as time seemed to slow down. ➡️Dianjiang Platform is the perfect spot for sunset viewing. In the evening, the setting sun paints the sky and lake surface orange-red. Standing on the viewing platform, the magnificent view before you is a testament to nature's incredible artistry. 🦢At Keleyongzhu, you can observe swans up close. The clear lake water reflects the yellowing trees on the shore, creating a dreamy and therapeutic scene - every casual shot looks like a wallpaper. 🌲Don't miss Songshu Tou! Climb to the mountaintop via the wooden walkway for a panoramic view of Lake Sayram and Guozigou Bridge. The continuous mountain ranges, azure lake waters, and majestic bridge create an unexpectedly spectacular view. 👗Outfit Tips: For photos, wear light-colored clothes and avoid blue to prevent blending in with the lake's color. Also, autumn temperatures vary greatly between morning and evening at Lake Sayram, so remember to bring warm outerwear. Lake Sayram in autumn lacks summer's bustle, offering instead tranquility and depth. If you're seeking a healing place this fall, Come to Lake Sayram - you'll surely be captivated by its beauty.
