Sayram Lake is absolutely stunning! The weather was perfect the day we went; the sunlight bathed the yellow meadows in a golden glow, and with the distant snow-capped mountains and the azure waters of Sayram Lake, every corner was a picture-perfect spot. Tickets are valid for 24 hours. We entered the scenic area in the morning and drove clockwise around the lake, stopping frequently to take photos. The further we went in, the fewer people there were. We left the scenic area in the afternoon, had dinner, and then drove counter-clockwise back to the lake before sunset to capture the sunset.

The scenery after a snowfall is quite unique and definitely worth a visit. A tranquil lake lies nestled among the mountains, with clouds drifting around its waist and snow-capped peaks shimmering in the sunlight. The cable car is extremely overpriced; a one-way trip is only 4 minutes, and a round-trip ticket costs a whopping 185 yuan—I've never encountered such a price at a scenic spot I've visited in China.

This place is great in every way, except the travel time is too long. You need to be careful because you have to take a shuttle bus from the hotel to the service area, another shuttle bus from the service area to the scenic area, and yet another shuttle bus from the service area inside the scenic area to other attractions. Let's say the sightseeing time is 2 hours, but the travel time is 3 hours.

It's snowing in Nalati! ❄️❄️❄️ It's so beautiful! If you're driving in Nalati, you absolutely must have snow tires. No snow tires, no snow tires, no snow tires, no snow tires!!! Even four-wheel drive won't work; you MUST have snow tires.

The attractions along the way are somewhat unique, but don't have too high expectations. They're mostly earthy-toned and rely on your imagination for the designs. Wearing colorful clothes will make for better photos. It's okay to take pictures. I went in September, and the weather wasn't particularly hot, but the sunlight was strong, so be sure to take precautions.

The queue was a bit long, but it was conveniently located near the Bagua City. The other grasslands were all too far, and after a few days, we were starting to get a little tired of them. So, I took my friend and chose this closest grassland for a stroll and some photos. We bought tickets to drive in, which was quite convenient.

The explanations are professional, gentle, and engaging. The exhibition is rich in content, with a clear main storyline, questions and answers, comprehensive historical knowledge, and a focus on key points. It is also very timely.

It's amazing how nature has done this, and it's definitely worth a visit! If you have the energy, you can walk around on your own, or take an electric cart or ride a camel if you get tired.

Walking through the snow-capped spruces of Kurdenin, the air is filled with the coolness of the vegetation. A stream sings at the valley floor, and sunlight filters through the dense forest, casting tiny specks of light. Standing high and gazing out into the distance, the endless snow-capped mountains are set against a sea of ​​dark green forest. In that moment, the world becomes tranquil, and time seems to slow down. This untouched, pristine beauty offers the most gentle healing to those who have lived in the city for so long.

Finally, we arrived at the legendary Flaming Mountain. Once inside, it looked exactly the same as it did from the outside. It was incredibly hot! But there were plenty of statues and landmarks to take photos with, and the staff were very helpful. It was a delight! Don't forget to try the baked eggs.
