Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia｜Waiting Quietly for the Stunning Sunrise at Juyan Lake

Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia, where I personally witnessed the breathtaking sunrise spectacle at the "Sky Mirror" Juyan Lake✨
This place is the embodiment of the Mongolian word for "Heavenly Lake," with flocks of seagulls circling the sky, like a fairyland!🌊 Holding a tour guide certificate, I enjoyed a free dreamlike boat tour. Although the clouds slightly obscured the rising sun, the impact still made my soul tremble💫

📍Location: Dalaihubu Town, Ejina Banner, Alxa League, Inner Mongolia
⏰Best viewing time: 4:30 AM - 6:00 AM (varies by season)
📸Photography tip: Bring a telephoto lens to capture the moment seagulls take flight

The sunrise at Juyan Lake perfectly recreates the scene from Wang Wei’s poem "The solitary smoke rises straight in the vast desert, the long river sets the round sun"🌅 In the morning, the seagulls act like precise alarm clocks, flying out on time from the reed marshes to "clock in for work"! Though the journey is dusty and tiring, this moment of stunning beauty is enough to heal all fatigue😌

Travel tips:
✅ Boat tour costs about 180 RMB per person (free with tour guide certificate)
✅ October is the best season to see the poplar forest
✅ Bring a thick jacket, as temperatures are very low in the early morning
✅ Check the sunrise time in advance and arrive at least 1 hour early
