It wasn't until I visited Xinjiang that I experienced the ultimate beauty of blue and white.

The blue of the sky and lake 💙 and the white of the snow-capped mountains and glaciers 🤍 create an extreme visual experience. Who wouldn't love Xinjiang? ❓❓

💧 Sayram Lake: The tranquil lake reflects the blue sky and snow-capped mountains 🏔️ like a "mirror of the sky" in winter. In winter, the aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake produce bubbles 🫧 and when the temperature drops suddenly ❄️ the ice and snow can cover the lake overnight, creating a spectacular scene of overlapping ice bubbles‼️

🌲 Kanas: The vast snowfields, birch forests, and rime are crystal clear, the ice lake is covered with snow, and the village is shrouded in smoke. In winter, Kanas is free from the crowds and has an extreme primitive beauty 🥹🥹

🏔️ General Mountain: How can you miss skiing in winter? 🏂 Watch the sunset from afar 🌄 and when night falls, the lights on both sides of the ski slope light up one by one, bringing the joy of the southern potatoes to the peak‼️

⚠️ Notes:
🌟 Winter in Xinjiang is very cold, so be sure to keep warm‼️ Especially in Sayram Lake, where the altitude is high and the wind is strong.
🌟 Hemu and Kanas are local log cabins 🛖 and the temperature is low in winter due to the gaps between the logs, so they are heated by coal ☀️ If you are afraid of the cold, be sure to bring a warm baby.
🌟 There are few places to eat around the entrance of Sayram Lake Scenic Area, and the prices are relatively high, so be sure to check the prices before you spend, and you can also prepare some instant food.
