Why fewer dresses for Xinjiang? Because the wind at Sayram Lake feels like a level 10 gale—your hair will be all over your face in photos! But in June, Xinjiang's lakes are so blue they look like mixed paint, with wildflowers blooming like fireworks at the foot of snow-capped mountains~💐
🏡 Accommodation:
Stay at the RV campground in Sayram Lake scenic area! 🌊 Push open your window at dawn to photograph the starry lake view, and have the S-curve road all to yourself in the morning. In Hemu, choose a log cabin halfway up the mountain—the village in the morning mist looks like it's frosted with cream☁️
🍜 Food:
Try the grilled fish at Burqin night market 🐟—crispy skin dipped in chili will blow your mind! Hemu Village's local hot pot with mushrooms has broth so delicious it'll make you jump. Pass by Jinghe County and check out the goji berries—snack on them like raisins🌿
📸 Photography:
✅ Sayram Lake Dianjiang Platform: Shoot the gradient blue lake and snow-capped mountains with backlight in the afternoon.
✅ Qiaoerma section of Duku Highway: Capture the winding mountain road from the parking area, like a silver dragon🛣️
✅ Kanas Three Bays: Wear a white dress and run through the morning mist at Shenxian Bay for an ethereal vibe🧚
🚙 Itinerary:
Day 1: Ürümqi → Dushanzi Grand Canyon (photo op at the cliffside café) → Stay in Kuytun
Day 2: Sayram Lake loop (Guozigou Golden Summit photo spot at South Gate) → Stay in Qingshuihe
Day 3: Kanas (hike to Fish Watching Pavilion) → Stargazing in Hemu Village🌠
💡 Pro Tips:
• Bring a reflector! Avoid dark faces in shaded photos.
• Use a waterproof cover for your camera—lakeside mist can fog up your lens in minutes💦
• Pack a telephoto lens to capture adorable animal fights on the grasslands.
