Tianshan Tianchi, known as "yaochi" in ancient times, is located in FukangCity, Changji Prefecture, Xinjiang, on the north side of Bogda peak. It is about110 kilometers away from Urumqi city. It is a famous tourist attraction inXinjiang. In ancient Chinese mythology, it was also the place where the queenmother of the Western Heaven bathed.
Tianchi Lake is 1910 meters above sea level, and the deepest reaches 105meters. The lake reflects Bogda peak, surrounded by spruce, and the scenery islike a fairyland. The scenic area includes mountain lakes, wetland meadows,forest canyons and other natural landscapes. In 20__, the scenic spot was alsorated as a national geopark by the state.
There are three water surfaces in Tianchi scenic area. In addition to themain lake, there are two water surfaces on the East and west sides. On the eastside is "dongxiaotianchi", also known as Heilongtan. It is 500 meters to theeast of Tianchi. At the bottom of the pool is a hundred Zhang cliff. There arewaterfalls flying down like a long rainbow. The scenic spot is called "XuanquanYaohong". On the west side is the "West small Tianchi", also known as the jadepond. It is about two kilometers northwest of Tianchi. Because the shape of thepond is like a full moon, surrounded by tasong around it, if you encounter thebright moon in the sky, the static shadow will sink into the wall, so it isnamed "Longtan Biyue". On the side of the pool, there is also a waterfall, whichis tens of meters high. The water flows like the Milky way and falls to theground. The scenery is called "jade belt and silver curtain". There is WentaoPavilion on the pool. It's very interesting to watch the waterfall in thepavilion. The scenic spots in the scenic area are connected by plank road, whichcan be reached on foot.
On the East Bank of Tianchi, there is the West tianwangmu temple, which wasfirst built in the Yuan Dynasty. What we see now is the building rebuilt on theoriginal Temple site in 1999, where the queen mother is worshipped, so it isalso called "Niangniang Temple". The bus stop is close to the East Bank ofTianchi. Walk along the plank road to the Queen Mother Temple on the West Bankfor about 1.5 hours. Compared with the beautiful natural scenery of Tianchiscenic spot, this temple is not very worthwhile to spend time visiting.
From mid November to the end of March of the next year, "Tianshan Tianchiice and Snow Festival" will be held. At that time, tourists can go to theTianshan ski resort near the scenic spot for skiing and other ice and snowprojects.
The Kazakh tents in the scenic area can be used for accommodation, but mosttourists return to the urban area on the same day after the tour. Most of thetourists outside Xinjiang start from Urumqi to visit Tianchi, and they canreturn to the urban area of Urumqi for accommodation on the same day. There arelocal meals in the scenic area, but the price is higher than that outside thescenic area, and the quality of food is also worse than that outside the scenicarea. It is suggested that tourists bring their own food and wait to return tothe city to enjoy Xinjiang food in the city.
