Sailimu Lake

It is located in the west of Xinjiang, backed by snow-capped mountains, and the lake is surrounded by vast grasslands. The lake is clear and blue, and the scenery is beautiful. It is one of the famous scenic spots in Xinjiang.

This is the place where the warm and humid air flow of the Atlantic Ocean lasts, so it is also called "the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean".


There is a kind of blue called Sailimu Lake in the world.

Sailimu Lake in winter is quiet blue and pure white. Snow mountains, clouds, and clear lakes constitute an ethereal landscape painting, like a fairyland on earth.

The blue here and the mist in the sky, just by looking at it, one feels that the sun and the moon are long and the mountains and rivers are safe.

Different tones will appear at different times of the day, like a slowly opening beautiful picture scroll, which is fascinating.

You can also taste the high white salmon and finger meat in Sailimu Lake. Finally, you can drive to Yining (about 1.5 hours by car) and stay overnight in Yining.

The temperature difference in Xinjiang is large, and the temperature in the Sailimu Lake area is relatively low. Even in summer, it will be cold at night, so warm items are necessary.


Just a quick shot is a beautiful view

Combining my own experience and the experience of my friends, I will tell you the necessary items in detail, so that everyone can enjoy Sailimu Lake and the beautiful Xinjiang with peace of mind.

Necessary Items The first item is clothing:

Because the temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is very large, it is necessary to wear warm clothes at night.

Lightweight down jackets, jackets, long sleeves, and thin jackets are essential for spring and summer.

Thick down jackets, sweaters, and cotton trousers are necessary for autumn and winter. Appropriately increase or decrease clothing according to actual weather conditions;

The second essential item is medicine:

Most of the scenic spots are desolate and uninhabited. Medicines are necessary, and they can be used or not.

For example: cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, motion sickness medicine, vitamins, band-aids, essential oils, you can also prepare some glucose oral liquid to supplement energy, all of which are sold in pharmacies, I remember it is 1 yuan each, in a small plastic bottle;

Must-Have Items Third Skincare:

Lip balm is one of the must-haves. Because of the dry climate in Xinjiang, lips are easily chapped. Many friends who go there, when their lips are chapped, it is too late and they cannot be bought around the scenic area.

And sunscreen is one of the must-haves, because the temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang is large, the temperature is high during the day, and the ultraviolet rays are strong, so sun protection must be done well. Hand cream, skin moisturizer, these should be taken as spares;

Must-Have Items Fourth Head and Neck Pillow:

Traveling in Xinjiang spends a lot of time on the bus or by self-driving in the car, ranging from 3 hours to 10 hours. Prepare a head and neck pillow to rest comfortably. When encountering bumpy road conditions, there is a head and neck pillow to help fix the head , can alleviate the phenomenon of motion sickness to a certain extent;

Going to Xinjiang with curiosity, you can welcome the wind blowing on the shore of Sailimu Lake, roar in Guozigou, and run in the Nalati Grassland...

Xinjiang gives you a "presumptuous" opportunity!
