Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country-Chapter 354 - 355: The Last Tear of the Atlantic Ocean

Chapter 354: Chapter 355: The Last Tear of the Atlantic Ocean

Sayram Lake is the last place favored by the warm and humid Atlantic air currents, and is known as "the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean".

Its area can reach 458 square kilometers, with a water storage capacity of up to 21 billion cubic meters. The lake water is crystal clear, with a maximum transparency of 12 meters. Some people might not have a concept of this area, but the capital of a self-claimed developed country in the East is only 605.77 square kilometers. A lake is already three-quarters the size of someone’s capital.

For a trip to Sayram Lake, almost everything needs to be booked unless it’s the low season. July is the peak season for tourism, fortunately, the two of them came early enough that it wasn’t crowded yet.

Zhuo Qianqian returned with the tickets at a brisk trot, saying with relief, "Boss, it’s a good thing we came early. In a while, camping here will no longer be allowed at night, and the camping facilities inside will be directly dismantled."

Wang Fan smiled and said, "That’s really nice; otherwise, we might have regretted it for a long time."

Zhuo Qianqian chuckled and said, "There’s even better news. This year, because it’s been colder than usual, the blooming season has been delayed. Usually, one can see flowers all over the mountains before mid-June in late May, but this year it’s late June to early July, so we can still see the last of these flowers."

"What are we waiting for? Let’s go!"

The RV slowly drove through the gates of Sayram Lake, and from that moment, the mysterious veil of Sayram Lake was completely lifted.

Wang Fan thought he already had an understanding of the color blue after witnessing the Hundred-mile Gallery and the Great Grassland. But it wasn’t until he saw Sayram Lake for the first time that he knew the true face of blue.

Upon entering the domain of Sayram Lake, he felt as though he had stepped into a dreamy blue world.

It was a unique shade of blue, deep and pure, glowing like a gemstone.

The water shimmered with the wind blowing over it, creating waves of blue ripples, like a dream.

Looking around, the vast lake surface connected with the blue sky, forming a seamless horizon, making him marvel at the magic and magnificence of nature.

"Truly beautiful."

Wang Fan couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Of course it’s beautiful. Today has been the best weather in the past two weeks, and I chose today to come here on purpose."

Zhuo Qianqian explained, "The blue of Sayram Lake mainly comes from the reflection of the sky. If it’s cloudy, what you see wouldn’t be like this."

Wang Fan complimented, "You’re indeed an expert travel planner."

Zhuo Qianqian proudly wrinkled her nose but then complained, "But this ticket is really expensive. When I was little, coming here didn’t cost anything, and the lakeside was full of nomads’ tents. I still feel that time was more beautiful."

Wang Fan shrugged, "That’s something that can’t be helped. When there are fewer people, it doesn’t matter. But when a place becomes popular without good management, it quickly turns into a garbage dump."

Wang Fan didn’t mind paying for tourist areas; he just hoped those managing the areas maintained cleanliness without overcomplicating things with unnecessary planning.

A 10-point destination’s beauty could be reduced to just 7 by mismanagement.

The RV slowly drove along the lakeside road, with the blue sky, white clouds, green hills, and Sayram Lake, which, though not a sea, is bluer and clearer than most seawater. One could instantly feel cured, no wonder Xiao Sa said that if you haven’t been to Sayram Lake, you haven’t truly lived.

Passing by a hillside full of small blue flowers, Wang Fan stopped the car.

The hill was slightly elevated, looking out at the unreal blue of the lake from the flower sea, it felt like a completely different kind of beauty.

Here, from every direction, every position, under different sunlight, at different angles, one could see different beautiful scenery.

Avoiding the flowers, he spread his arms and lay on the lush green grass. The fragrance of flowers, grass, and earth filled the air as he watched the snow-white clouds lazily drift across the azure sky, feeling that sleeping here forever would be the greatest enjoyment.

The only unfriendly element was the rather strong wind.

But this couldn’t be helped, as the altitude here was already over 2000 meters, which is higher than the summit of many mountains, with Mount Tai’s highest peak being only over 1500 meters.

Luckily, Zhuo Qianqian had prepared in advance, and both of them were wearing light down jackets; as long as they didn’t take off their coats to take pictures, they could completely adapt.

Wang Fan took out his camera, readjusted the angle, and continued to share with the group chat buddies.

These chat group pals knew about Wang Fan’s itinerary and had been eagerly waiting. Seeing the link finally going live, they clicked at the first opportunity.

Seeing the scenery through the camera, the vast majority showed expressions of envy and longing.

"Glorious are our magnificent landscapes. I can’t understand why so many people are so eager to travel abroad. How many places worldwide surpass the scenery here?"

"I’ve decided, starting today, to save 500 yuan a month. By this time next year, I definitely want to go on a spontaneous trip, destination: Sayram Lake!"

"Heh, you all fail. I’ve already landed in Urumqi, and tomorrow I’m heading straight to Sayram Lake."

"Haha, none of you have me beat. I’m already stationed at Sayram Lake, just waiting for Boss Wang to come so I can ask for some gourmet food!"

"??? Are you serious, group buddy?"

At this moment, Chen Kai was extremely satisfied.

It’s been three or four months since parting at Mount Tai, and he didn’t expect to encounter Boss Wang during his graduation trip.

Originally, according to his itinerary, he was to arrive at Sayram Lake the day after tomorrow, as he wanted to visit Bayinbuluke first. But since Boss Wang was here today, he couldn’t miss the opportunity and adjusted his schedule.

Wang Fan didn’t expect to be caught by a fan and curiously asked, "Where are you?"

Chen Kai heard Wang Fan’s voice and quickly replied, "Boss Wang, I’m at Keler Yongzhu. There are lots of swans here now, come and see."

"Alright, we’re heading over now."

Wang Fan said and headed directly to the Keler Yongzhu spot.

The meaning of Keler Yongzhu is that there are many springs here, historically a place where nomads would collect drinking water.

Wang Fan parked the car by the lakeside and saw a group of graceful swans playing in the clear water, their white feathers gleaming under the sun.

The swans glided lightly at times, flapped their wings and danced at others, occasionally diving their heads into the lake, and when they came up, some had a small fish in their beak.

In places filled with hadas, clear spring water gushed out from the ground, forming small springs.

The tinkling springwater sounded like a melodious symphony as Chen Kai stood there excitedly waving at Wang Fan.

Wang Fan waved back and then walked over.

After meeting up with Chen Kai, he finally appeared in the camera, making all the group buddies envious.

However, the scene of three people together seemed somewhat awkward.
