What's the legend about Sailimu Lake?

Long, long ago, there was no lake here, but a grassland with rich water plants and flowers. On this fertile grassland, there is a hardworking, kind and beautiful Kazakh shepherdess named Che Dan. Chedan and Stoke, a handsome and burly Kazakh horse-herding youth, get along day and night, respect and help each other, and establish sincere and pure love in the same labor.

One day, a demon king who went hunting came here and took a fancy to the grassland and the beautiful young car. He wants to keep the grassland and Chedan for himself. In order to escape from their clutches, the young lovers rode to the mountains. The devil sent someone after him. Suddenly, young Stoke was unfortunately killed by an arrow, and he cried with Stoke in his arms.

At this time, the demon king's men surrounded her. She was not afraid, and her eyes flashed with hatred and anger. She tried to lift a boulder and hit the devil's men. But as soon as she lifted the stone, she was arrested and dragged onto the horse's back. She shouted loudly. The cry was earth-shattering and echoed back and forth on the grassland.

Suddenly, where she lifted the stone, a towering water column jetted out and quickly merged into a rolling torrent, which quickly drowned the panicked demon king and his minions. The vast grassland has since become a huge lake.

Extended information Selimu Lake originally had no fish. 1998 cold-water fish such as high whitebait and concave whitebait were introduced from Russia for culture. In 2000, the finished fish was caught for the first time, ending the history of no fish production in Sailimu Lake. After ten years of development, it has become an important cold-water fish production base in Xinjiang.

Sailimu Lake Scenic Area is divided into six functional areas: lake-surrounding scenic area, grassland nomadic customs area, ecological landscape protection area, swan and other rare bird habitat protection area, tourism comprehensive service area and original ecological environment protection area.
