Sayaram Lake
|
 |
| The Sayram Lake is good place for |
| people to trek this is because |
| there are big grassland around it |
| .it is located at the western |
| section of the northern part |
| of the Tianshan Mountains along |
| the path leading from the Jungar |
| Basin to the Ili Valley at the |
| center a closed-in basin surrounded by mountains at 2,072m
elevation and |
| about 453 kq in area. It is the biggest lake in the Tianshan
Mountains |
| The Sayaram Lake in known for its beauty of being surrounded
by snow |
| capped lofty peaks above the timberline,densely wooded forests
just below |
| it, and verdant pastures around lake.The Lake is at ots besy
in the fall. |
| when the air is cool and crisp and the pastures are dotted
with fatted |
| cattle and sheep, adding to the colorful wild flowers in full-bloom
to |
| compose a pastoral scene. On July 13th,every year,the traditional
"Nadam" |
| is regularly held on the pasture around the Lake by the Bortala
Autonomous |
| Mongolian Prefecture. A fair is held in Haxi and numerous
Chinese and |
| foreign tourists come and visit. The wrestling and horse-racing |
| draw a bustling and excited crowd.I have treked aroud lake
for 3 days. |
| I also have seen many swans and waterfowl sucj as wild ducks
sea eagle |
| There is also ome ruin at the other side of the Lake and it
is place |
| where the Mongolian Emperor Chenkisikan called his army there. |
