"The world is pitch black until we open our eyes"

Bole, Xinjiang | A blonde girl’s summer fairy tale encounter at Sailimu Lake 🦋 You are really lucky to come across this note 🍀 Sharing with you these life photos taken at Sailimu Lake The insight "The world is pitch black until we open our eyes" Suddenly made sense to me when I saw the blonde girl sitting among the flowers 🌊 Must-visit spot: Sailimu Lake is definitely the most stunning presence in Xinjiang’s summer The unreal blue lake surface paired with a sea of golden lotus flowers Every snap is wallpaper-worthy 📸 Recommended to shoot in the early morning or evening when the light is softest There are also many dandelions hidden in the flowers Blowing in the wind is especially healing 🏨 Accommodation guide: Recommended to stay at the RV campsite inside the scenic area Open the door to a lake view, and you can stargaze at night Remember to book one month in advance! If on a budget, you can choose hotels in Bole city It’s only about an hour’s drive to and from the scenic area 🍴 Food recommendation: You must try the highland white salmon! A specialty of Sailimu Lake with super tender meat The fish restaurants at the scenic area entrance serve freshly caught and cooked fish It’s amazing with naan bread 🐟 🚗 Transportation tips: It’s recommended to charter a car for flexible stops and photos Taking the high-speed train from Urumqi to Bole Station takes only 4 hours Then a 30-minute taxi ride to the scenic area entrance ⚠️ Notes: 1️⃣ Big temperature difference! Bring both a light down jacket and short sleeves 2️⃣ Sunscreen + sunglasses are a must, UV rays are very strong 3️⃣ Tickets must be booked in advance on the "Sailimu Lake Tourism" platform 4️⃣ It’s windy by the lake, if you wear a hat, make sure to secure it tightly
