Fukang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Tianshan Tianchi (“Heavenly Mountain” and “Heavenly Lake”) National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The lake is located an hr outside the city. we missed a bus at 8:30am from peoples park which take you directly to the site. In the end managed to get a didi/taxi to the site. At the car park you get out and head for a police registration for all foreigners. This took about 20 minutes. in the end they give you a piece of paper which says you buy tickets. The ticket line was short and it’s 150rmb entrance. the first shuttle take ls you to an area of restaurants. The food is cheap and there is lots of options.
From there you take another shuttle bus. then there is a short walk to the lake. There is a 5k walk around the lake and you can take a boats across also. A great site to visit.

God of mountains: Tianshan
Tian Shan Mountains, also called Tien Shan, Celestial Mountains or Heavenly Mountains, is a large system of mountain range situated in the Eurasia hinterland. Tian Shan Mountains location makes it the furthest mountain system from the sea with widespread drought regions. As one of the Seven Mountain Systems in the world, Tian Shan Mountains stretches through four countries (China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan) with a length of 2,500 kilometers (about 1,553 miles) from east to west.
Although many peaks of Tian Shan Mountains are covered with snow all the year round, the mountain area under snow line is still abundant in animals and plant resources. Vegetation there is under rich diversity, including dense forest, green spruce, whirl pines and more than 80 species of medical plants, especially the most precious herbal medicine - Saussurea Involucrate. Being adapted to harsh climates of high altitude, it grows well on cliffs and in the clefts of rocks along the mountain. Aside from Tianshan Wild Animal Park, which is located at the southern foot of Bogda Mountain, the Southern Pasture and Ili Nalati Grassland are also famous tourist attractions along the Tian Shan Mountains which are highly recommended for visitors who enjoy horse racing and the kazakh folk customs.

A paradise lost in the mortal world, the Heavenly Lake of Tianshan, one would regret for a lifetime not visiting
A paradise lost in the mortal world – the Heavenly Lake of Tianshan ||| It is said that this place is the Jade Pool where the Queen Mother of the West resided—"A wonderland so unique, not found anywhere else in heaven or on earth." Throughout history, scholars and poets have sung praises in their writings. "Eight steeds travel thirty thousand miles a day, why does King Mu not return?" This is a poem left by the great Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin; "A pool of thick ink at the bottom of the inkstone, thousands of trees like fine brush tips," this is a famous line composed by Guo Moruo while accompanying Prince Sihanouk on a visit to the Heavenly Lake in the early 1970s.
Meeting for the first time does not disappoint, with a heart as calm as water, escaping the hustle and bustle, in this life, I would not exchange.
INDIGO FARMER
The Tianshan Mountains are still covered in a blanket of white snow in April, which is just too beautiful
Tianchi Lake of Tianshan is located on the hillside under Bogda Peak in Fukang City, Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is a national scenic area and a national 5A-level tourist attraction in China.
Looking up, you see the snowy mountains, and at your feet lies Tianchi Lake. Centered around Tianchi Lake, it extends from Shimen in the north to the snow line in the south, reaches Mayashan in the west, and Dadaogou in the east, featuring a complete set of four vertical natural landscape belts. The Bogda Peak of Tianshan has an elevation of 5445 meters, covered with snow all year round, while Tianchi Lake is located on the mountainside of Bogda Peak with a surface elevation of 1928 meters, hence the lakeside is surrounded by dense forests and lush green grass.
Every viewing platform on Mayashan is picturesque, and the scenery along the way is beautiful! The feeling of being surrounded by snowy mountains and forests is too beautiful, and from the top of the mountain, you can also see the entire Tianchi Lake, which is blue.
Tianchi Lake of Tianshan is the sapphire on the Tianshan mountain range, one of the three major Tianchi lakes in China. The beauty of Xinjiang's Tianchi is suitable for all seasons, and it can present different charms whether in spring, summer, autumn, or winter. Its beauty is like an eternal mystery, constantly drawing people to explore.

Tianshan Mountains Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
One of my Favorite Mountains in China, 天山
If you ever head to Xinjiang, Tianshan is a must! Whether it’s winter or Summer it’s beautiful all year round. I prefer the snow so I decided to go in the Winter and the lake is frozen so you can explore even more. The park is huge and about an hour from Urumqi so, you can spend the day here. Great experience! #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure #mytripvlog #tripblazers #awesomepic #nationalpark

Beyond the Frontier, a Jiangnan of the North - Yili Qiaxi Forest Park
Attracted by the saying 'Beyond the frontier is Yili, and the most beautiful part of Yili is Qiaxi', we left the sea of flowers and drove towards the forest.
Yili Gongliu, a place almost ignored by tourists;
Gongliu Qiaxi, an existence long excluded from traditional tourist routes; the forest park, a scenic area now only accessible by self-driving cars.
When our off-road vehicle drove directly from the foot of the mountain to the highest point of the forest park, a few steps on the plank walkway took us up a mountain ridge, what a sight!
'After traversing mountains and rivers, Qiaxi is worth it' - these eight bold characters stand in front of the hill, quite imposing!
Standing here, with a broad view, forests, snow-capped mountains, valleys, and grasslands are all in sight, the landscape is majestic and beautiful, and walking among them is like being in a painting.
Here I saw the original appearance of all the beautiful scenery; Xinjiang gave the most beautiful scenery to the Tianshan Mountains, and the Tianshan Mountains gave the most beautiful scenery to Yili, and Qiaxi fully interprets the beauty of Yili.
Standing on the 'Qiaxi Scroll Viewing Platform', the continuous snow mountains, undulating grasslands, and coniferous forests, plus cows, sheep, and horses, are truly extraordinary, this can really be described as 'swallowing mountains and rivers'.
The tall spruces are continuous and profound, crowding and standing on the slopes around. The dark green color fills the eyes, like the raw jade stone when the window is opened.
The 'King of Spruce' sample displayed in the National Agricultural Exhibition Hall comes from Qiaxi. This is a famous forest area, clusters and patches of spruce forests form a green Great Wall that is intermittent and continuous.
This place is known as 'China's Little Switzerland', with an average altitude of over 1500 meters. It seems to be a pure land outside the noisy world, low-key and charming. Every flower, every blade of grass, every tree is the essence of the great grassland, blooming quietly and beautifully in time.
At sunset, the earth displays those undulating beautiful lines, with deep and shallow greens everywhere. It's like a beautiful combination of heaven and earth, shielding all the noise of the world.
My old friend and I sat on the plank walkway, blowing the cool breeze, quietly waiting for the change of light; quietly admiring this magnificent scenery; quietly sending off one group after another of 'live-streaming' young ladies; quietly watching those people taking photos in front of the 'Qiaxi is worth it' sign.
I remember a classic collection of essays called 'The World is Worth a Visit', indeed!
'The world is vast, and life is worth it'.

Hemu Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
I stayed in Xinjiang for a month to tell you some things not to do
Don't ask how much the ticket is, ask how many years of youth are left. I decided to embark on a journey to Xinjiang in the northwest of my motherland, using a month to find my lost soul. After coming back, I am full of motivation, often staring at the photos in a daze.
To help friends who want to go to Xinjiang, I have compiled this travel guide, hoping to help everyone!
Where should I go first when I go to Xinjiang for the first time?
Urumqi, as the transportation hub of Xinjiang, is very convenient whether it is South Xinjiang or North Xinjiang. It is recommended to choose Urumqi as the first stop, because whether it is a group tour or self-driving, almost all vehicles start from here.
Precautions:
Time difference: There is a 2-hour time difference between Xinjiang and the mainland
Many ethnic minorities are used to saying Xinjiang time
Security check: Xinjiang's security check is very strict, train stations and airports require multiple security checks, it is recommended to go to the train station/airport in advance
Accommodation recommendation:
Urumqi: Recommend Friendly Business Circle or Zhongshan Road Business Circle
Kanas: Recommend Beitun City, secondly, Jadunyu and Burqin can be recommended
Hemu: Recommend staying in the scenic area log cabin, watching the stars all over the sky at night, increasing the play time during the day, and the experience is better
Sailimu Lake: Accommodation is recommended to stay in Qingshuihe Town or Huocheng County
Our self-driving route:
Starting from Urumqi, go to Sailimu Lake—Huocheng—Zhaosu—Tekes—Qiongkushitai—Nalati—Duku Highway, and finally return to Urumqi from Dushanzi.
The route is just a circle, which is a classic Yili ring line.
ps: The above self-driving journey is 12 days in total, a total of 2300 kilometers, without rushing to the road and rushing to the scenic spots, often 5-6 hours of self-driving time every day. I feel that rest and maintaining a good state are necessary.
Must-visit attractions:
Qiongkushitai: The grassland covering the sky, the fairy tale forest like a mist, the small wooden house with grass on the head, every eye is super healing
Huocheng Lavender: The purple sea of flowers tumbling with the wind is really romantic
Tangbula Fairy Lake: A small popular secret that needs to ride a horse up the mountain, accompanied by flowers all the way, it seems to be Alice in Wonderland
Nalati Grassland: The aerial photography and self-driving of the grassland and valley in the sky are absolutely amazing!
Sailimu Lake: "The last tear of the Atlantic"
If you have plenty of time, you must go for a self-driving tour around the lake
Duku Highway: Duku Highway that must be self-driving once in a lifetime! It will open around mid-June every year, and you will feel the four seasons along the way.
Xinjiang cuisine:
The big plate chicken, lamb skewers, roasted lamb chops, and roasted buns in Xinjiang are really amazing, and those who like heavy tastes can close their eyes.
ps: There are also old yogurt, cold water fish, hand-grabbed rice, wrapped meat, pulled strips and other delicacies waiting for you to taste!

6 things you must know before going to Kanas
1⃣️Kanas is located in the north of Xinjiang, most city flights do not go directly, you need to transfer in Urumqi.
2⃣️The most beautiful season in Kanas is autumn, that is, September-November, known as the most beautiful autumn scenery in China. Of course, summer and winter are also worth a visit, with a pleasant climate in summer and skiing in winter.
3⃣️The ticket for staying in Kanas for one day is 230 per person, and 270 for two days. You can stay in the new village. The development here is relatively complete, with convenient food and accommodation, and it is close to the Fairy Bay.
4⃣️The attractions worth visiting in Kanas are: Three Bays, Kanas Lake, and Fish Watching Pavilion. If you go to the Fish Watching Pavilion, you need to purchase an additional 20 yuan ticket.
5⃣️The Three Bays are Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay. There is a special bus running between the transfer center and Jiadenyu Station. The morning mist of the Three Bays is worth seeing. The Moon Bay is very high and the scenery is even more spectacular. The other two bays are flat forest land. You can walk back to the village after returning to the Fairy Bay, and the scenery along the way is particularly healing.
6⃣️The famous beautiful winter village - Hemu Village is near Kanas, you need to buy a ticket at Jiadenyu Station and enter the village on the right.

Just returned from Altay, to tell the truth
On the 6th day of coming to North Xinjiang, my aesthetic threshold has been blown up.
The grand snow and the scarce tourists are in stark contrast.
It's like walking into a real version of 'The Cold Wonderland and The End of the World'!!
Riding an off-road vehicle, traveling through the forest and snow.
From the fairy-tale Kanas Three Bays
To the fairy-tale Hemu Village, Frost Ice Ling, Unfrozen River, Sayram Lake Blue Ice
There is no most beautiful, the next second is always more beautiful!!

Ride a sled during the day, stay at the Sayram Lake RV camp at night.

Sayram Lake Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
I waited a year just for the Xinjiang of May to July, here's an ultra-detailed guide!
Life is a wilderness, not a track, hearing a thousand times is not as good as seeing once. Here's a route reference
D1: From various places, arrive in Urumqi
D2: Urumqi—Sayram Lake—Guozigou Bridge—Ili
D3: Ili—Xia'ta—Tekes Hexagonal Town
D4: Tekes—Qiongkushitai—Gongliu
D5: Gongliu—Qiaxi—Nalati—Northern Section of Duku Highway—Kuqa
D6: Kuqa—Kashgar—Kashgar Old City
D7: Kashgar—Bai Sha Lake—Muztagh
D8: Kashgar—Turpan
D9: Turpan—Kumtag Desert—Urumqi
Precautions:
Remember to rent a car in advance on Ctrip or other reliable platforms before departure, it is recommended to place an order on the platform for security. (Insurance is a must because the distances between each scenic spot in Xinjiang are far, and the driving distance is long, in case of emergency)
Xinjiang has a large temperature difference between day and night, prepare 1-2 pieces of thick clothing.!
For the long self-driving journey, remember to go to the supermarket to purchase some food for when you get hungry on the road and to replenish energy.
Remember to bring your ID card and student ID, if you go to southern Xinjiang or some scenic spots in Kanas, you need to apply for a border pass, which can be done at a nearby police station.
Travel tips and outfit suggestions:
1. Remember to wear brightly colored clothes on the grasslands for better photos (such as yellow, pink, purple, etc.).
2. You must visit the pine trees at Sayram Lake, although it's tiring and you may want to give up many times, as long as you persist to the top you will find it's all worth it as you can overlook the entire panorama of Sayram Lake and Guozigou Bridge.
3. Bring some sunglasses and hats for sun protection and also as a fashionable item for better photos (girls can buy a triangular scarf to wear on their head for amazing photos).
ps: 'Northern Xinjiang for scenery, Southern Xinjiang for culture', the moment you arrive in Xinjiang, your story begins. Every moment is like a movie playing, the beauty of Xinjiang, no words in this world are enough to describe it.

The most beautiful and comfortable place is Sailimu Lake
The recent sunset time of Sailimu Lake is 19:15, the sunrise time is 10:10, the highest temperature is -5, the lowest is -14, and the recent weather of Sailimu Lake is very good.
Moreover, the weather forecast of Sailimu Lake is not very accurate. Several times the forecast is cloudy or overcast, but when I arrive at Sailimu Lake, it is sunny. So I always tell tourists that Sailimu Lake really depends on luck!
It is suggested to drive by oneself or pack a small group for free travel to Sailimu Lake, which is very convenient. I have prepared a hot pot for the snow field. It's really comfortable to eat hot pot while watching the sunset! The ice pushing of Sailimu Lake is about to start.

🚩 Two recommended hiking routes:
1⃣ Full Three Bays route:
If you have plenty of time or don't want to queue for the shuttle bus at popular spots, you can choose to hike the entire Fairy Bay-Moon Bay-Dragon Bay to fully experience the charm of the Three Bays.
2⃣ Essence of Three Bays route:
If you're short on time but still want to hike, you can take the shuttle bus to Fairy Bay, get off at Moon Bay, and then hike the Moon Bay-Dragon Bay section, which is considered the essence of the Three Bays, about 3 kilometers, and enjoy the stunning scenery in a short time.
The Three Bays are the representatives of Kanas, and seeing the small to appreciate the big is the ultimate realm of visiting scenic spots. It is recommended to explore the Three Bays completely if possible, to feel its charm and touch the soul of Kanas! 🌅
