based on 91 reviews"Tianchi is very beautiful, but there is no other attractions to watch except the pool. The cable car cruise is expensive and there is no price/performance ratio. When the weather is good in Tianshan, we went to the day before the snow, and the sun was big the next day. So there is both snow scene and sunny, and the photo is very good."Fukang67.3km from downtown
No.1 of Fall Viewing Attractions in Changji PrefectureHighlights: Tianshan Tianchi, also known as Tianchi National Geopark, was called "Yaochi" in ancient times. It is located in Fukang City, Changji Prefecture, on the north side of Bogda Peak, about 110 kilometers away from Urumqi City. It is a famous tourist destination in Xinjiang.In ancient Chinese mythology, Tianchi is also the place where the Queen Mother of the West bathed.The lake surface of Tianchi Lake is 1910 meters above sea level and 105 meters deep. The lake reflects the Bogda Peak and is surrounded by spruce trees. The scenery is like a fairyland. The Attraction includes natural landscapes such as alpine lakes, wetland meadows, and forest canyons. In 2013, the Attraction was also rated as a national geological park by the state. When visiting Tianchi Lake, don't just visit the lakeside, you will miss many surprising sub-attractions.Recommended hiking routes: Lakeside Pier-Haixi Beach, Lakeside Pier-East Xiaotianchi (Feilongtan)There are three water surfaces in the Tianchi Attraction. In addition to the main lake, there are two more water surfaces on the east and west sides. The east side is the "Eastern Small Tianchi", also known as the Black Dragon Pond, located 500 meters east of the Tianchi. Below the pond is a hundred-meter cliff, with a waterfall cascading down like a long rainbow. The scenic spot is named "Hanging Spring Yaohong".On the west side is the "West Small Tianchi", also known as the Yunu Pond, located about two kilometers northwest of Tianchi. Because the pond is shaped like a full moon and surrounded by tower pines, when the moon is bright in the sky, the shadow sinks into the wall, so it is named "Longtan Biyue". There is also a waterfall hanging on the side of the pond, which is tens of meters high. The water flows like the Milky Way falling to the ground, and the scene is called "Jade Belt and Silver Curtain". There is a Wentao Pavilion on the pond, and it is a special experience to watch the waterfall in the pavilion. There are plank roads connecting the various scenic spots in the Attraction, which can be reached on foot.On the east bank of Tianchi Lake, there is the Temple of Queen Mother of the West, which was first built in the Yuan Dynasty. The current building is a reconstruction on the original temple site in 1999. It enshrines the Queen Mother of the West, so it is also called the "Niangniang Temple". You can walk along the plank road around the lake to get there (about 2 hours), or take a Cruise. The view of Tianchi Lake is very good.You need to take a shuttle bus and cable car to Maya Mountain. The cliffs are steep and the stone peaks are in a row. From a distance, it looks like a row of horse teeth, and when you look up, it looks like a row of horse teeth. The rocks are so strange and the rocks are so beautiful that it makes you dizzy. The landscape of Maya Mountain is caused by rock weathering. The top of Maya Mountain is relatively flat, with lush grasslands covered with butter grass and colorful flowers in full bloom in summer. Standing here and looking around, you can see the Tianchi Lake in the north, the Bogda Peak in the east and the snow-capped mountains and clouds in the south, and the Shetianbian of Urumqi in the west.Show Less - 7.04.7/51081 ReviewFrom5.55"A friend introduced it. It was mid-September. The wheat field was harvested. I didn’t see it. It’s a pity that the green grass has turned yellow, but other landscapes are also good. Generally speaking, it’s okay. I may go there if I have a chance."Qitai>100km from downtownHighlights: Jiangbulak is in Kazakh, meaning the source of holy water.
