Rainbow Beach is a cliff-like Ya Dan landform formed on the north bank due to the fierce river impact and strong wind erosion of the Irtysh River. The rocks along the river bank have different weathering resistance, and their contours will be uneven, while the rocks contain different minerals, which will become all kinds of extraordinary splendour.

Rainbow beach is on both sides of a river, and the north and the south are different. There are oases, deserts and blue sky on the south bank, and the scenery is panoramic. The north shore is a cliff-like landform of Ya Dan, with undulating mountains and changeable colors.

When you arrive at Sailimu Lake, you must stay for one night and live in a Kazakh yurt, where you can photograph the most beautiful night sky and sleep peacefully.

The sunrise in Serimu Lake is beautiful, and the moment when the sun is about to break out is cold and warm, full of poetry and painting.

D8 Sailimu Lake-Guozigou-Horgos-Yining

After enjoying the beautiful sunrise in Sailimu Lake, I packed my bags and went on my way.

The full name of Guozigou Bridge is Guozigou Twin Towers and Double Cable Plane Steel Truss Girder Cable-Stayed Bridge, with a total length of 700 meters and a clear height of 200 meters at the bottom.
