Sail on Salt Water at the Ürümqi Salt Lake

Urumqi, China

Who would've thought you could sail on a lake in a city so far from the sea? Ürümqi Salt Lake is the salty wonder where adventurous hearts set sail. Whether you're in for a casual boat ride or a curious dipping of toes in salt crust, there's something serene and surreal about it. The backdrop of distant rolling hills, the reflective surface of salt and water—it feels otherworldly. It's akin to floating on a mirror shimmering under the broad Xinjiang sky.
