It was almost one o'clock at noon after visiting the Kekedala Scenic Area, and I saw a restaurant sign from a distance and walked over, but the staff said that there was no service because there were too few tourists.
I walked out of the scenic spot and drove on the road, came to a safe parking area under an overpass, parked the car, found out the dry food and ate some boiling water, rested in the car for more than ten minutes after eating, was woken up by the passing truck, and continued to move forward, today's goal is Sailim Lake.
Following the guidance of the navigation, I came to a high-speed parking area, where there were many cars and stalls, I bought some fruit, and spent two yuan to go to the only paid bathroom in this trip, and the conditions were so simple that people could not look back.
Not long after entering the Lianhuo Expressway, a towering bridge suddenly appeared in front of me, and it turned out to be the famous Internet celebrity bridge - Guozigou Bridge.
Continuing on, it didn't take long for me to come to the top of the bridge, feeling like I was driving on the clouds, and I was once again shocked by the surprises on the road.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, I came to the east gate of Sailim Lake, and it was a sea of cars and cars, and the voices were full of people. I finally moved to the parking lot, and I was worried that I couldn't find a parking space, but fortunately, the parking lot was big enough, and I still found a parking space according to the instructions of the security guard. After parking the car, I went to the ticket office to buy tickets, and I had 145 per person. It should be noted that you must keep the tickets, and people will check them when you go out of the scenic spot, if you lose your ticket, you have to buy it again, which is also the only scenic spot I encountered in this trip with this kind of requirement.

In 1998, Xinjiang introduced cold-water fish such as whitefish and whitefish from Russia, ending the history of no fish production in Sailim Lake.
After I drove into the scenic spot, I turned right with the traffic and came to a parking lot to park my car, and immediately got out of the car to check in.
After studying the tour map, I decided to turn back and follow the clockwise direction, and then continue my journey from the north gate to the north.
Walking forward, the weather suddenly changed, and it felt like a storm was coming, which made people feel a little nervous.
Moving on, the landscape changes, the sun shines, the grass is green, the flowers are everywhere, and the lake is sparkling, which is breathtaking.
At about 8 o'clock in the evening, I came to a place called an empty camp, which has a small parking lot, a small restaurant, and a public restroom not far away, and the parking water and toilets are free. I stopped here to rest, and went to this small restaurant to eat a bowl of high whitefish noodles, 48 yuan, that is, the hat put a little meat sauce, what kind of meat is unknown, it is said that here is a unified company, so ** are the same.
After washing up, I was about to go to bed, a business car came and forcibly inserted next to my car, five or six people, large and small, so that I had to be very careful when getting on and off the car, I wanted them to move, but I looked at the side and there was no place, and the time was not too early to find other places, so I gave up.
