Lovely 'pearl' on the mountain: Sayram Lake

People ride horses near Sayram Lake in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region in June, 2015. Sayram means "blessing" in Kazak. Renowned as a "pearl" on the mountain, the lake is the largest and highest alpine lake in the region's Bortala Mongol autonomous prefecture. It lies at a height of 2,073 meters above sea level.
