Donghai Tingtao Viewpoint
东海听涛
A shoreline viewpoint on the eastern section of the north shore, loud with crashing waves. Nearby is a giant stone tablet inscribed “Pure Sea of the Western Regions,” a photo stop on the north shore.
Donghai Tingtao lies on the eastern section of Sayram Lake's north shore. The lake is wide here and the waves are strong. Standing on the stone beach, you can hear the water lapping at the shore, and on clear days you can see the Tian Shan on the south shore in the distance. About 1.5 km away stands a giant stone tablet inscribed with “Pure Sea of the Western Regions,” a landmark for group photos. The north shore sees fewer visitors than the south, making it a good place to watch the sunset. A stay of about 30 minutes is enough. On the counterclockwise loop it comes in the northern section, after Dianjiangtai. The stone beach is slippery, so do not go into the water.
