Sayram Lake | Winter Blue Ice Wonderland

| A winter wonderland of blue ice. I prefer Sayram Lake in winter to summer. It's like entering another world, with snow-capped mountains, ice sculptures, and frozen lakes. Every photo is wallpaper-worthy. 🧊Best time to visit ▪ Late December to January: The lake begins to freeze, and broken ice is washed ashore. ▪ January to March: The lake is completely frozen, with ice flowers and bubbles. You can see blue ice and take photos lying on the lake. ▪ Late March to April: The ice begins to melt, and you can see the beautiful melting ice and ice push. 🚦Transportation ✈: Some cities have direct flights to Bole Airport. After arriving at the airport, you can take a shuttle bus to Sayram Lake. 🚉: Take a train to Bole Railway Station, and there is a direct bus to Sayram Lake. 🚘: You can choose to rent a car or drive yourself. If you drive yourself, pay attention to the road conditions, as some sections may be icy. 🚩Attractions 📍S-bend: Snow-capped mountains, bends, and blue lakes are all in the same picture, making for great photos. You can also see the sunrise and the golden mountains here. 📍Dianjiangtai: You can overlook Sayram Lake here, and it's also a great place to watch the sunset. 📍Songshutou: A popular photo spot. You need to climb 2,000 steps to the top of the mountain, where you can see a panoramic view of Sayram Lake and the Guozigou Bridge in the distance. 📍Swan Water: There are many large ice sculptures nearby, which are very spectacular, like entering the Ice Age. 📍Keleyongzhu: Most swans gather here, and you can take photos with them up close. Please do not feed them. ✅Travel tips ▪ If you arrive at Sayram Lake in the morning, it's best to travel clockwise, as the morning photo spots are mostly facing the light, making for better photos. ▪ If you arrive in the afternoon or evening, you can travel counterclockwise, head straight to watch the sunset, and stay overnight to explore again the next day. ⚠Important tips ▪ Drones are allowed at Sayram Lake, but remember to register at the east gate. ▪ The lake is 92 km in circumference, so bring some food. ▪ There are no shuttle buses in the scenic area in winter, so you need to rent a car or drive yourself. ▪ Dress warmly, as it is windy by the lake.
