1. Tianshan Tianchi
Tianshan Tianchi, also known as Tianchi National Geopark, was called Yaochi in ancient times. Located in fukang city, Changji Prefecture, north of Bogda Peak, about 1 10 km from Urumqi, it is a famous tourist attraction in Xinjiang. In ancient China mythology, Tianchi was also the place where the Queen Mother of the West bathed.
The lake is as clear as jade, reflecting Bogda Peak, surrounded by mountains and covered with tall and straight spruces and tassels, just like a fairyland. It is recommended to go later in the afternoon, because with the change of light, the lake will appear green in the vicinity and blue in the distance.
2. Tianshan Grand Canyon
About 50 kilometers away from Urumqi, it is a natural scenic spot with snow-capped mountains, forests, lakes and grasslands. The scenery here is fresh and natural, very diverse and beautiful. It is a good place for local residents in Urumqi to travel in summer.
The whole scenic spot covers eight major tourist areas, including Swan Lake, Zhaobi Mountain and Qiaoya Grassland. There are not many tourists, and they are vast and far away, which makes people relaxed and happy. Such a grand canyon with mountains, water and grasslands really makes you feel the infinite charm of Tianshan Mountain. Especially in the alpine grassland, I saw flocks of cattle and sheep and white felt houses scattered in ravines and lakes, which is the home of a Kazakh nation.
There are many Kazakh herdsmen's yurts in the canyon, which provide special food such as mutton, and you can enjoy food between mountains and rivers, which is very comfortable. So you can experience the nomadic life of herders when you come here to play.
3. nanshan pasture
Nanshan Scenic Area refers to the vast mountainous area located in the south of Urumqi and at the northern foot of Karawucheng Mountain in the northern Tianshan Mountains. The Tang Dynasty was a hunting area, and the Qing Dynasty was a famous pasture.
There are many local residents here. You can feel the nomadic life. Living in a yurt, taking a look at the beautiful scenery and riding a horse on the grassland is a very unique enjoyment.
4. Hanma Base of Ancient Ecological Park
This is the largest base integrating breeding, exhibition, training, performance and competition of bloody horses in China. See the legendary blood horse BMW at the blood horse base. Almost every horse here is a million. They all look noble and elegant, and there are fancy performances, which are very good. There are many silicified wood and meteorites worth seeing.
