Things to do in Fukang

Tianchi Lake in the Tianshan Mountains truly lives up to its legendary reputation as a fairyland on earth! However, getting to the scenic area is highly dependent on the weather. The shuttle bus takes you up the mountain, and upon arriving at the lakeside, you're instantly awestruck. The crystal-clear lake rests serenely amidst the mountains, with the majestic Bogda Peak standing tall in the distance, surrounded by a vast forest of spruce trees. The snow-capped mountains, the lake, and the blue sky frame each other—a breathtaking panorama that needs no filter. Strolling along the lakeside boardwalk, the air is fresh and invigorating. You can also take a boat trip on the lake for a closer look at the scenery. The scenic area is clearly marked and well-equipped, combining natural beauty with the mythical significance of the Queen Mother of the West. The mountain breeze soothes all travel fatigue, making it a must-visit destination when in Xinjiang.

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.

20230723 afternoon: 1. "Dinghai Shenzhen" is located in the 5A scenic spot "Tianshan Tianchi". Tianshan Tianchi is a world-famous alpine lake and a world natural and cultural heritage. It is located at the foot of "Bogda Peak", the highest peak in the eastern part of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang. It was called "Yaochi" in ancient times. In ancient Chinese mythology, it is the place where the Queen Mother bathed. It is 1,980 meters above sea level and has a water surface area of ​​4.9 square kilometers. It was formed more than 2 million years ago during the Quaternary glacial activity. In history, Genghis Khan, King Mu of Zhou, Sihanouk, Guo Moruo, and Yu Youren have left behind. The scenic area integrates mountains, lakes, forests, waterfalls, and folk culture. It is divided into five major areas: Kazakh Folk Customs Park, Tianchi, Xiaotianchi, Xiwangmu Temple, and Lingshan Temple. ① Address: No. 501, Zhuigaer Road, Fukang City, Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Private cars cannot enter. The mountain road is very long and you must take a sightseeing bus. ② Transportation: No public transportation, it is easy to park by car. ③ Peak season: summer and autumn. ④ Duration: 1 day. 2. The name of "Tianchi" was first seen in the inscription "Lingshan Tianchi Tong Canal Monument" by Mingliang, the third governor of Urumqi and the nephew-in-law of Emperor Qianlong in the 48th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1783). During the Qing Dynasty, sacrifices to "Bogda Mountain" were held once in spring and autumn. The pre-Qin ancient book "Mu Tianzi Zhuan" records that in 989 BC, the fifth monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the first traveler recorded in Chinese classics, King Mu of Zhou, Ji Man, set out from the capital Haojing to travel around the north. He sang with the Queen Mother of the West on the shore of Tianchi Lake and exchanged gifts, so Tianchi is also called Yaochi. There used to be many temples and Taoist temples near Tianchi, but only these three remain: the Temple of the Queen Mother of the West, Fushou Temple, and Lingshan Temple. 3. Dinghai Shenzhen: Located on the north bank of Tianchi Lake, it is one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Tianchi Lake". It is an ancient elm tree, a hybrid of large-leaf elm and small-leaf elm. According to legend, when the Queen Mother of the West held a peach banquet, the Tianchi water monster was not invited and started to stir up trouble. The Queen Mother of the West subdued it with her own jade hairpin, which later turned into this tree. The altitude of 2,000 meters is not suitable for the growth of elm trees. Every time the water level of Tianchi Lake rises, it happens not to flood this tree, which shows its magical nature. Therefore, its branches are hung with red blessing ribbons.

The scenery in Qianlongyuan is quite good. The entire Tianshan Tianchi scenic area is quite large. It is not just a Tianchi, other places are also very interesting. It is very fun to come 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.

The landscape of Maya Mountain is caused by rock weathering. Bogda Peak can be seen from the top of Maya Mountain.
