Sayram Lake, a high mountain lake known as “the last teardrop of the Atlantic,” transforms into an ice and snow fairy tale world in winter. In the winter of 2026, the lake’s ice layer can reach a thickness of 1 meter, and the translucent blue ice refracts gem-like luster in the sunlight. Wonders such as ice bubble clusters, ice pushes, and ice waterfalls emerge one after another. This is a paradise for photography enthusiasts and an excellent destination to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and experience the purity of nature.
