M50***41You're most likely asking about money-saving tips for sharing tickets to Sayram Lake, or about carpooling for tickets. Here are two options for reference: 1. Saving Money by Sharing Tickets for Self-Driving: Currently, a self-driving package ticket to Sayram Lake during the off-season costs 110 yuan per person. If multiple people are traveling together by car, one person can buy a self-driving package ticket to enter the park, while the others buy a 35 yuan hiking ticket (available before 6 PM). They can then meet up inside the scenic area, saving on the self-driving service fee per person. However, the hiking route is about two kilometers long, and the entrances for hiking and self-driving are different. 2. Carpooling for Tickets: Many day trips to Sayram Lake departing from Bole and Yili offer carpooling services, starting at 268 yuan. These carpooling services usually don't include entrance tickets, which need to be purchased online or offline. There are also group tours for up to 6 people, which include entrance tickets and the cost of circling the lake. You can check and book these on platforms like Ctrip.

枫原没有万叶4. Guaishiyu Scenic Area (Rating 4.6, Tickets from ¥48) Northern Xinjiang "Strange Stone Museum": • Wonders: Hundreds of millions of years of weathering have carved out pictographic stone groups such as "Stone Monkey Watching the Sea" and "Flying Stone". Hiking through them is like breaking into a science fiction set; it is only 35km away from Bole City, so there is no pressure for a short trip. • Experience: The 4A scenic spot is cost-effective and suitable for parent-child exploration (guessing the stone shape) and photography creation (the vast Gobi background). Some areas require climbing, so it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes. → Suitable for: Geology enthusiasts and family tours. You can experience the "sculpture exhibition of nature" in half a day.
