Tianshan Tianchi
No. 2 of Best Things to Do in Xinjiang

Tianshan Tianchi

8.4
4.6/5
14.7k reviews

Tianshan Tianchi, also known as Tianchi National Geological Park and called "Yaochi" in ancient times, is located in Fukang, Changji Prefecture, on the northern side of Bogda Peak. It is approx. 110 km from Ürümqi and is a famous tourist destination in Xinjiang. In ancient Chinese mythology, Tianchi was also the bathing place of the Queen Mother of the West. Tianchi Lake sits at an altitude of 1910 m, with a maximum depth of 105 m. The lake reflects the Bogda Peak, surrounded by spruce trees, creating a fairy-tale-like scenery. The attraction encompasses natural views such as alpine lakes, wetland meadows, and forested canyons. In 2013, it was designated as a national geological park. When visiting Tianchi, don't just explore the lakeshore—you'll miss many surprising sub-attractions. Recommended hiking routes, lakeside pier - Haixi beach, lakeside pier - East small heavenly pool (Flying dragon pool) The Tianchi attraction features three water bodies: the main lake plus two others on its eastern and western sides. The eastern one is "East Xiaotianchi," also called Heilong Pool, located 500 m east of Tianchi. Below the pool lies a sheer cliff where a waterfall plunges down like a rainbow, giving the site its name "Hanging spring and jade rainbow." On the west side lies "West Xiaotianchi," also known as Jade Maiden Pool, located approx. 2 km northwest of Tianchi Lake. The pool, shaped like a full moon and encircled by towering pines, earned its poetic name "Dragon Pool under the jade moon" from the serene moonlit reflections on its surface. A waterfall cascades beside the pool, plunging dozens of meters like a silver river descending from heaven, dubbed the "Jade belt with silver curtain." Above the pool stands the Sound of Waves Pavilion, offering a unique vantage point to admire the waterfall. All attractions within the scenic area are connected by boardwalks, accessible on foot. On the eastern shore of Tianchi Lake stands the Temple of the Queen Mother of the West, originally built during the Yuan Dynasty. The current structure was reconstructed in 1999 on the original temple site, dedicated to the worship of the Queen Mother of the West, hence also known as the "Queen Mother Temple". It can be reached by hiking along the lakeside boardwalk (approx. 2 hrs) or by taking a cruise. The temple offers excellent views of Tianchi Lake. Maya Mountain requires taking a shuttle bus + cable car. The towering cliffs and numerous stone peaks present a breathtaking sight; from afar, they resemble a row of horse teeth, while looking up, they appear as if jagged rocks are competing in grandeur and stacked cliffs are vying in beauty, creating a mesmerizing view. This view of Maya Mountain is formed by rock weathering.The summit of Maya Mountain is relatively flat, featuring lush grasslands covered with butter grass in summer and dotted with colorful flowers. Standing here, you can take in the panoramic view of Heaven Lake to the north, while the Bogda Peak to the east and the snow-capped mountains to the south seem within reach. To the west, the farmlands on the outskirts of Urumqi are also clearly visible.

Tianshan Mountains
No. 3 of Best Things to Do in Changji Prefecture

Tianshan Mountains

4.8/5
275 reviews

The Tianshan Mountains are a massive mountain range spanning central Asia, stretching over 2,500 km. The main peak, Tomur Peak, has an altitude of over 7,400 m, and the summit is covered in snow all year round. The Ili River, as well as the Syr Darya and Chu rivers in Central Asia, all originate from this mountain range. From the grassland pastures at the foothills, to the spruce forests on the mountainsides, and up to the glaciers and snow-capped peaks at higher altitudes, locals often use the phrase "four seasons in one mountain" to describe the vertical landscape here. The terrain here is rugged, gradually transitioning from the foothills to high-altitude areas, forming natural landscapes with distinct vertical variations, such as forests, grasslands, alpine lakes, and glaciers.

Gurbantunggut Desert

3.9/5
35 reviews

The Gurbantunggut Desert covers an area of approx. 48,800 sq km and is one of the few sand seas among China's eight major deserts dominated by fixed and semi-fixed sand dunes. Most of the sand dunes here are anchored by desert vegetation such as saxaul and white saxaul, so it does not look like a vast expanse of pure yellow sand, but rather a vast wilderness where sand dunes and shrubs intermingle. Unlike the barren deserts in one's imagination, the water conditions here are relatively good, and each season has its own highlights: in winter, there is stable snow cover, and the snow outlines the undulating curves of the sand dunes; after the snow melts in spring, ephemeral plants like *Chorispora bungeana* and *Isatis violascens* complete their germination, flowering, and seeding in just a few weeks, decorating the rolling sand dunes like a carpet covered with small flowers, presenting a rare desert blooming scene; in summer, shrubs like saxaul spread their greenery, bringing another kind of vitality. Little known is that the hinterland of this desert also hides the "Eurasian Pole of Inaccessibility," which is more than 2,000 km away from the coastline.

There is a large elm tree with lush branches and leaves on the shore of Tianchi Lake. It is the only elm tree left within a few kilometers around Tianchi Lake. It is also very high in altitude. This is the "Dinghai Magic Needle", one of the eight scenic spots of Tianchi Lake. The tree crown is as big as an umbrella, shaped like a golden carriage canopy of the emperor. Even in a flood year, when the lake water rises, it can only flood to its roots. It has never been submerged by the water of Tianchi Lake, which is particularly amazing.

West Xiaotianchi is located on the roadside two kilometers at the foot of Tianchi. It is a barrier lake formed during the movement of ancient glaciers and mainly relies on the undercurrent of Tianchi for water supply. The surface of West Xiaotianchi is like a full moon, the water is clear and deep, surrounded by pine and spruce trees, and the reflections in the pool complement each other. The bright moon is in the sky, the quiet shadow is sinking, and the scenery is infinite, so it is also called Longtan Biyue. A silver waterfall hangs beside West Xiaotianchi, and the Milky Way falls to the ground, spitting pearls and splashing jade, which is called "Jade Pond Silver Curtain". There is a small stream under the waterfall, which is deep and quiet, like a boudoir. It is said that it is the place where the Queen Mother washes and dresses, and it is called "Combing Stream". Going south along the trail, the water flows along the steep mountain where the undercurrent overflows, "It is suspected that the Milky Way falls from the sky", so it is called "Nine-day Milky Way". There is a Tao Pavilion built on the top of the mountain on the pool, which is exquisite and unique. Climb up to Jiantao Pavilion and look out, you will see lush greenery, clear blue water, rolling clouds and the sound of waves, which will fill your heart with a special feeling.

Tianchi Lake in Tianshan is indeed less impressive compared to Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain. You don't need luck to see the entire lake, so the element of chance and anticipation isn't as strong. However, the scenery is undeniably beautiful and worth the ticket price. Even though it wasn't a holiday, it was still very crowded; there were queues for the shuttle bus, boat rides, and taking photos. There are also plenty of reasonably priced and delicious restaurants near the scenic area.

天山之行，最真实的感受是渺小。车行至山脚，天山便以沉默的姿态压来。山体并非图画中的青翠，而是铁灰色的岩脊嶙峋突起，积雪在其间如冷冽的刀光。人站在下面，仰首不见其顶，只觉自己是一粒被偶然吹至此处的尘埃。攀登时，呼吸逐渐被稀薄的空气稀释成白雾，脚步沉重如缚石。四顾皆是无言的山石与远处盘旋的鹰，它不关心我的到来或离去。在这里，人类社会的喧嚣、自负与功名，被山风刮得一丝不剩。我只是在移动，遵循着最古老的生存本能：向上，向前。及至山腰，忽见一线融雪汇成细流，沿石缝潺潺而下。这水必将汇入绿洲，滋养葡萄与麦田，养育歌舞与爱情。此刻我方顿悟：天山的宏大并非为了斥责我的微小，而是以其亘古的庄严，将渺小纳入一种更辽阔的秩序之中。我之渺小，如同那雪水，虽只一滴，却也是宏大叙事的一部分。下山回首，天山依旧沉默。它不记得我，我却带走了它赐予的真实——承认渺小，而后方能看见天地壮阔。

The Gurbantünggüt Desert, located in the central Junggar Basin of Xinjiang (east of the Manas River and south of the Ulungur River), is China's second largest desert and its largest fixed and semi-fixed desert, covering an area of ​​approximately 48,800 square kilometers. The desert features a dendritic sand dune landscape, with dunes accounting for over 50% of its area, creating a unique morphology. Unlike common shifting sand deserts, the Gurbantünggüt Desert's dunes are relatively fixed, with high vegetation cover. After the spring snowmelt, numerous short-lived plants sprout on the desert surface, presenting a vibrant scene of interwoven green and yellow foliage. The desert also contains rich underground oil resources and features typical Yardang landforms such as the Urho Ghost City, making it an important natural and cultural landscape in northern Xinjiang.

Dinghai Shenzhen is an ancient tree inside the Tiansheng Tianchi Scenic Area. This ancient tree is much larger than other trees. It feels very interesting. I really like to see the scenery here.

Maya Mountain is located in the Tianshan Tianchi Scenic Area in Fukang City, Changji Prefecture. Maya Mountain has steep cliffs and numerous stone peaks. From a distance, it looks like a row of horse teeth, with rocks competing for beauty and overlapping rocks competing for beauty, which is dazzling. The landscape of Maya Mountain is caused by rock weathering. Bogda Peak can be seen from the top of Maya Mountain.

The Xiwangmu Temple is located on the hillside of the northeastern shore of Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain. Because it is dedicated to the Queen Mother, it is also called the "Niangniang Temple". According to current historical records, the Xiwangmu Temple was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that the temple was built on a grand scale and was very popular. In 1932, the Xiwangmu Temple was destroyed by war. In the early 1990s, the Taiwan Taoist "Cihuitang" built a simple temple on the site of the original Xiwangmu Temple for good men and women to worship the Queen Mother. In 2000, the local government rebuilt a magnificent Xiwangmu Temple through investment promotion, restoring this famous monument on the shore of Tianchi Lake.

I took my child on the two-hour round trip and played for two hours. After watching Flying Over China, nothing else was interesting. There was too little content. What is worth praising is that the service attitude is very good. It is recommended to add some activities with high participation.
