4️⃣ Explore ecological check-in points
🌿 The park has created eco-friendly photo spots using locally grown Jiji grass, like the little fox shape—very unique, be sure to take photos!

—---🍽️【Food Recommendations】---
🐟 High-white salmon feast: A cold-water fish unique to Sayram Lake, try it pan-fried or poached, the meat is tender and fresh!
🔥 Nomad family experience: Hand-pulled lamb, homemade yogurt, milk tea with naan bread, enjoy these delicacies in a nomad’s yurt and experience their warm hospitality～
⚠️ Avoid: The “tourist set meals” at the park entrance are low value; it’s better to find food where the locals and nomads gather!
