Places to explore in Bayingolin

Bosten Lake
博斯腾湖
Bosten Lake lies in Bohu County. The broad main lake and reed-filled smaller lake areas offer different waterscapes. Choose a specific entrance and section before visiting; transport and activities along different shores may not connect. These reference photographs mainly show reed wetlands, channels and autumn shores, not a panorama of the entire main lake or the coverage of a unified ticket.

Bayanbulak
巴音布鲁克
Bayanbulak lies in a high mountain basin of the Tianshan. Meanders of the Kaidu River, wetlands and meadows form its main scenery. Follow open routes to observe grassland waterways and wild birds, although swans, sunset reflections and clear views cannot be guaranteed. Reference images mainly show the Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns and surrounding meadows; some colors have been adjusted in photographic post-processing.
