:: Xinjiang Day 7 - 克拉瑪依 Karamay--塞里木湖 Sayram Lake

2007 Jul 28:
Today's destination was to our suprise.  After a few days of being disappointed, we carried no hope to any sort of lakes and mountains. 
After around nine hours of drives through the 312 National Highway 国道, going through a few towns such as Usu 乌苏镇, 高泉镇, 精河 etc, we arrived Sayram Lake 塞里木湖 area which all of us became so excited because of the beautiful views.  Sayram Lake 塞里木湖 was at 2,071m and the temperature dropped to 6C already. 
We also experienced quite a small hail storm.
After settling down, we picked a big 蒙古包 with a glass front door overviewing the lake.  It was said the area of Sayram Lake 塞里木湖 is larger than the entire Hong Kong area. 
We had our dinner delivered to our 蒙古包 and it was a great meal.
