The second time I went to Sailimu Lake, I still miss this beauty, and I can't bear to let time slip away quietly.

Nine years is a long time for Xinjiang, which is thousands of miles away. It is so long that my memory is fuzzy, but I can recall many details when I think about it carefully.


9 years seems to be very short, so short that it seems to be walking happily beside it yesterday.


It seems to answer the sentence: Many things in the world will disappear, and the only thing that will not disappear is memory.

Fate will not favor any one person, but will favor those who are moving towards the light.


Sailimu Lake is the alpine lake with the highest altitude, the largest area and the most beautiful scenery in Xinjiang.


It is more than 500 kilometers away from Urumqi, and it takes about seven hours by car.


We went to have breakfast at 8:00 in the morning. This restaurant was our favorite the night before. Because of the 2-hour time difference, there are very few restaurants in Urumqi that open at 8:00 in the morning.


A few minutes after ordering ramen, I was told that I had to wait another 20 minutes for work. Thinking about the meal, I ordered it. Twenty minutes, maybe twenty minutes. After half an hour, the noodles have not come yet. Impatiently, we kept urging and asking if the person who bought the flour hadn’t come back yet. The attitude of the waiter was still good, and he immediately helped me. The wait was another half an hour, and an hour had passed by the time we ate.


When I walked out of the restaurant after 9 o'clock, there was already a lot of traffic. The plan to take advantage of the tranquility and quickly leave the city through the urban area was completely disrupted.

Stopped and stopped along the way, on the way to the Anjihai Grand Canyon, because it was not open due to reconstruction, and returned.

It was seven o'clock in the evening when we arrived at Sailimu Lake.

The 92-kilometer road around Sailimu Lake is a famous self-driving tour route. In order to protect this clean sea, private cars were not allowed to enter the scenic spot, and only battery cars in the scenic spot were allowed.


Due to the fact that there are very few tourists in the epidemic, in order to promote tourism, private cars are only allowed to enter during the epidemic period, which brings great convenience for us to explore the beautiful scenery of Sailimu Lake around the lake.

Sailimu Lake Scenic Area can only be entered from the east gate, and can be exited from three gates in the southeast, north and south.


On the official map, there are 20 or 30 scenic spots around Sailimu Lake. The yurt we booked is on the west side of the lake, and we decided to go clockwise to the station.


We don't remember which scenic spot it is. The advantage of driving by ourselves is: stop wherever you go to see the beauty.


The scenery of Sailimu Lake is different all year round. In June, Sailimu Lake is full of lush trees, wild flowers everywhere, and the blue sky printed in the water, which is extraordinarily peaceful and beautiful.

When the sunset comes, the deep blue lake, the blue sky, and the golden plain are beautiful and picturesque.

People are swimming in the middle of the painting, and cars are walking in the middle of the painting. You can enjoy this beautiful environment without interruptions, making people linger and forget to return.

It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when the sunset receded, and I was reluctant to leave before it was completely dark. The camera was still clicking, and I didn't return to the station until I could no longer see the sun.


It was the first time I went to Xinjiang to eat dinner at 11:00 p.m. In the next few days, I basically had dinner at this time. After eating, I had to hurry up and go to bed, and I had to get up before dawn the next day.


There are only yurts for accommodation in the scenic area. I counted about three or four. It is also for environmental protection. Except for the hotel outside the gate, there is no hotel in the scenic area.


The accommodation in yurts in the scenic area is very expensive. The better condition is the toilet. It is considered a five-star level in the scenic area. It is tiled inside and cleaned very clean. There is hot water in the sink. Everyone washes up in this public toilet. It is still very comfortable convenient.


There is a window in the yurt, but there are no curtains. My companion said that the yurt should not face inwards, but must face outwards. Unexpectedly, the big and round moon was like a searchlight, slanting in from the window and hitting our faces, making it impossible to sleep.


Who said "the moon hangs by your pillow to accompany you to sleep"? The poet's romance must not be believed. Accompanied by the sound of snoring one after another this night, I shared my heartfelt feelings with the moon all night.


The temperature in Sailimu Lake in June varies greatly, so we wear cotton clothes in the morning and gauze in the afternoon. As soon as the sun goes down, we have to wear warm clothes on our bodies.


After 6 o'clock, the morning light is faint, and the big and round moon is still hanging in the sky. On the other side, the sun has begun to blush the sky, giving it a warm touch, and it looks very lazy.


We knew that the sun would rise with such swift force that it was only twenty minutes or so away, and as it rose we had to catch that vivid shadow, holy beauty.


Quickly dressed, did not wash, put on a down jacket and went directly to Yuyuan.

The blush-stained grassland is less bustling with red flowers, willows and greenery, and less people, cars and birds singing in the daytime, so it is very quiet. The lake is quietly in front of us, we look at the mountain, waiting to meet the morning light, waiting for the warmth and softness of Sailimu Lake. Feel the beauty of the blush morning light blending with the lake water, and the hazy space intersecting with the Yuanyuan, and the beautiful moments will remain in memory forever.

At 7:30, the sun completely covered the plains. The plains were attached to the snow-capped mountains, and the horses in the glow were silently eating them. The whole plains were so vivid that no amount of words could express our love for nature at this time. with praise.

Lakeside Grassland at 7:30


After washing up, I had breakfast, took my luggage, and started to tour around the northern half of Sailimu Lake.


Flowers are laid on both sides of the road, and with our laughter, happiness melts into the air with the sound of our rumbling cars.


At this time, I especially want to see it from God's perspective. There are different kinds of beauty. In the morning and evening, Sailimu Lake changes rapidly with the light, and the scenery changes with it, which is very charming. During the day, the vast waters of Sailimu Lake and the stretch of snow-capped mountains depend on each other, which is more soft and beautiful against the backdrop of the snow-capped mountains, creating a fairy-like painting.

At ten o'clock in the morning on the road around the lake

sea ​​of ​​flowers and sky

The beauty of Sailimu Lake is exquisite, and everywhere you walk around is the scenery.


A small boat on a wide expanse of water enriches the picture. When galloping away, I was surprised to find that the boat was not powered by paddles, but electric. The stern of the boat plows a wave on the blue water, which lasts for a long time, like an airplane drawing a long track in the air. The beautiful picture expands the tranquility of Sailimu Lake, sets off the poetic haze, and expands Come with the soft beauty of Jiangnan, very comfortable, very detached.


Two white swans are resting in the water. No matter what we call them, they ignore it and keep their heads in their wings. At this time, there is a special feeling of being indifferent to the world, as if the peace and tranquility that will not be disturbed will always be maintained.

Blowing the wind blowing from the lake, bathed in the sunshine of Xinjiang, the driving wheels took us away.

Nostalgic for this leisurely beauty, reluctant to let the time slip away quietly, I can only use the camera to keep this quiet time!
