Dubbed "the last teardrop of the Atlantic," Sayram Lake in Xinjiang is said to be the farthest place where the warm air currents of the Atlantic Ocean can reach. Located in the northern Tianshan Mountains, it is the largest and also the highest alpine lake in Xinjiang, covering 458 square kilometers at an altitude of 2,073 meters. The color of the lake varies depending on the weather and can be crystalline blue on a clear day.
