Sailimu
Lake is located in the Boertala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture
in the Xinjiang Uygurs Autonomous Region. Encompassing an area
of 457 square kilometers, it's a fault basin at an elevation of 2,073 meters, the highest among the Xinjiang high mountain lakes
and with a maximum depth of 86 meters.
It has a vast water surface with blue ripples
and abounds in water resource and lush grass. Tucked  away in the
steep mountains, it is secluded and misty. The snow-capped peaks
and the dragon spruce on the mountains set each other off. What
a splendid and picturesque scenery! In July and August, the Mongolian
and Kazak herdsmen gather on the lake-side grassland to hold their
traditional ethnic activities such as horse-racing, wrestling,
picking up a sheep on the galloping horse-back. It's interesting and entertaining.
