Attention friends coming to Sayram Lake!  
Autumn at Sayram Lake is perfect for shooting atmospheric photos📸
🧥 Outfit guide:  
🔸 Daytime around 18-20℃  
Summer clothes + a windbreaker are enough  
But be ready to add a down jacket anytime  
(The weather in Xinjiang really changes in a flash😭)  
🔸 It’s recommended to bring a warm-colored scarf  
It matches perfectly with the yellow grassland✨
🌄 Must-see sunset:  
📍 Recommended viewing spot: Jinhua Zihui Viewing Platform  
⏰ Best time: 8:30-9:00pm

Those who wait till the end are the winners!
