The Most Beautiful Sunrise Check-in at Juyan Lake
At Juyan Lake in Ejina, Inner Mongolia, I experienced an unforgettable sunrise journey. In Mongolian, this place is called "Heavenly Lake." Although the weather wasn’t perfect, with thick clouds and the sun not fully visible, the scenery was still enchanting. The landscape described by Wang Wei seemed to be right before my eyes, accompanied by seagulls and reeds dancing in the wind. This trip was a bit tiring, but such beautiful scenery made it all worthwhile.
📍 Address: 40 km north of Dalaihubu Town, Ejina Banner, Alxa League
⏰ Best viewing time: 5:30 AM (In summer, it’s recommended to arrive by 4:30 AM to secure a spot)

Although the clouds were a bit thick, the impact was no less stunning! In Mongolian, this place is called "Heavenly Lake" 🌊, and the scene from Wang Wei’s poem is right before your eyes ✨

Watching seagulls skim across the lake in the morning light, with reeds swaying in the wind, everything calms down～ Although waking up early is tough, it’s really worth it! 💯

Photography tips 📸:
1️⃣ Prepare a telephoto lens in advance
2️⃣ Dress warmly! The temperature difference is huge
3️⃣ You can choose to watch the sunrise from a boat (for an even better view)
4️⃣ Remember to bring bread to feed the seagulls

The lake’s orange-red gradient at sunset is also super dreamy! Such beautiful scenery makes every shot look like a masterpiece ✨ You definitely have to come check it out!
