Totally worth the trip! Encountered the sunrise of my dreams at Juyan Lake

Juyan Lake in Ejina Banner, Alxa League, Inner Mongolia, fulfilled my dream sunrise! Although the sun was a bit shy 😜 and hid behind the clouds right after showing up, this fairyland known as the "Desert Heavenly Pool" still took my breath away✨

🕊️In the morning light, flocks of seagulls dance gracefully, as if telling the thousand-year-old stories of ancient Juyan🕯️
🌊Sailing across the lake, my mind was filled with the imagery of Wang Wei’s poem "Envoy to the Frontier," where the grandeur and poetry of the northwest desert perfectly blend📜
📍Location: About 50 km northwest of Dalaihubu Town, Ejina Banner, Alxa League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region
⏰Best viewing time: Mid-September to mid-October

Tips:
1️⃣Arrive at the viewing platform before 5 AM to secure the best spot📸
2️⃣The temperature difference is big, so bring an extra jacket in the early morning🧥
3️⃣Bring a telephoto lens to perfectly capture the moment when seagulls dance with the morning light📷

Although I got up at 3 AM to rush here, the moment I saw this blue expanse, all the fatigue turned into happiness😭
