[Attraction/experience] Kanas Scenic Spot, Taking a bus to Hemu Village, the Altai Mountains snowfield along the way is like an unfurled ink wash painting, and casual phone shots are all masterpieces.

[Attraction/experience] Sayram Lake, As evening approached, the "pink hour" arrived. The sun sank behind the western mountains, first dyeing the sky orange-pink, then golden-red. Finally, the entire lake surface reflected this gentle pink light, blending with the lake's inherent cool blue to form a dreamy pink-blue gradient. Day 7 [Attraction/experience] Sayram Lake, Entering Sayram Lake, my pace also slowed down. Driving near Moon Bay, I didn't circle the lake, but focused on experiencing the lake and mountains in the early morning. Walking slowly along the lake, the wind carried the crisp chill of ice. Taking a breath, my whole body felt refreshed. Day 8 [Attraction/experience] Wulumuqi, Arrange airport drop-off according to flight or train schedule. Happy travel time always passes quickly.
