We visited China's most northwestern treasures in this episode. First we went to Sayram Lake, also called The Last Tear of the Atlantic, because it is the farthest point where the Atlantic Ocean's warm, humid air currents reach. After that, we headed to the Nalati Grassland, known as the “Sky Grassland” due to its high altitude, which led to this spectacular view of snowcapped mountains right next to the grasslands. Both of these are located in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region near the border with Kazakhstan.Join us in our adventure to explore the northwestern treasures of China, that we rarely get to see because it's just so difficult to get there, in this episode of our China Travel Vlog, in Yining, Xinjiang.
