Worried the night before about missing the sunrise,
but at 4 AM departure, found the clouds very thick☁️
and was chilled by the strong northwest wind😱

Unexpectedly!😍
At 6:28 AM🌅 it rose right on time from the reed marshes,
flocks of seagulls started their business hh
In such a desolate desert,
there are such lively creatures flying around

Although the full sunrise wasn’t seen,
the gradient dawn🌄
dyed the lake water pink and purple,
the reeds gently swayed in the breeze,
that moment was truly moving enough to bring tears😭

🚗Travel tips:
▫️Recommend chartering a car
▫️Remember to bring a thick jacket (huge temperature difference!)
▫️Bring some bread to feed the seagulls
▫️Ticket check starts 30 minutes before sunrise

"Riding a bike to ask the border, passing the vassal state of Juyan"
Finally arrived at the mysterious ancient land described by Wang Wei✨
Such magnificent scenery
makes the journey worthwhile no matter how tough!

Photo outfit suggestion👗
Light-colored long dress + ethnic-style shawl
Perfect for shooting with the reed marshes!
