Nestled in the Sayram Lake Scenic Area of the Chinese mainland’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Fengfanxi Creek invites travelers to a serene alpine escape. Sayram Lake itself is the highest and largest alpine lake in the region, offering a dramatic backdrop of snow-capped peaks and pristine waters.
By the lake stands the famed Fengfan Stone, a towering rock formation shaped like a ship’s sail. Its name—fengfan—echoes the Chinese word for “sail,” and day and night this natural monument casts a majestic silhouette against the sky.
From the base of Fengfan Stone, a narrow stream flows year-round into the lake, earning the name “Fengfanxi.” Its crystal-clear waters reveal the sandy bottom, while gentle breezes ripple across the surface, mirroring the surrounding mountains. The result is a living reflection that feels both tranquil and vivid.
Ideal for digital nomads seeking inspiration or young adventurers craving an off-the-grid sanctuary, Fengfanxi Creek blends peaceful solitude with breathtaking scenery. Whether you’re camping lakeside or enjoying a mindful hike, the interplay of light, water, and rock here creates a naturally immersive experience—one that exemplifies sustainable travel at its finest.
