📸 [Recommended photography spots]
Sayram Lake:From 7 to 9 in the morning, photograph the “Eye of Blue Ice”; at Songshutou on the west shore around the lake, you can capture snow mountain reflections.
Nalati Grassland:Near the nomadic households on the Sky Grassland route, photograph flocks returning to their pens when the light is soft at 6 p.m.
Kanas Lake:Take a boat to the island in the middle of the lake and use a wide-angle lens to capture the same perspective as the “lake monster legend.”
Duku Highway:On the section from Qiaoerma to Nalati, the cliff viewing platforms along the way allow you to photograph the wonder of “four seasons in one day.”
💡 [Travel tips:Advice from local Wang Fei]
1️⃣ Clothing guide:Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night; even in summer, bring a windbreaker. Kanas/Hemu and other places may see snow after September, so it is recommended to bring a warm hat and gloves.
2️⃣ Preventing altitude sickness:Sayram Lake (2,071 meters) and Bayinbulak (2,400 meters) are at relatively high altitudes; avoid strenuous exercise and consider preparing glucose oral liquid in advance.
3️⃣ Network signal:Some sections of the Duku Highway and Tashkurgan have no signal; it is recommended to download offline maps and inform family of your itinerary.
4️⃣ Cultural taboos:Obtain consent before photographing fellow ethnic group members; remove shoes when entering and do not touch the Quran.
