Nestled on the shores of Sayram Lake in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on the Chinese mainland, Fengfanxi Creek is a serene oasis for travelers seeking a break from city life. The creek flows year-round, its pure waters revealing a lakebed dotted with vibrant sand and stones.
Above the creek stands the towering Fengfan Stone, a sail-shaped rock formation that gives this spot its name. In Chinese, fengfan means sail, and when a gentle breeze ripples across the water, the rock and surrounding peaks mirror each other in a picture-perfect reflection.
With its crystal-clear stream and panoramic alpine vistas, Fengfanxi offers a moment of calm and a deeper connection to nature. For digital nomads, eco-minded explorers, and anyone craving an immersive travel experience, this hidden gem in northwest Xinjiang delivers pure tranquility and timeless beauty.
