Urumqi Off-the-Beaten-Path Photo Spot | Tianshan Grand Canyon
| Tianshan Grand Canyon. The Tianshan Grand Canyon scenic area is nestled in the embrace of Urumqi County, Urumqi City, only a 50-kilometer drive from the city center. It is a natural wonder that combines the beauty of snow-capped mountains, forests, lakes, and grasslands. The scenery here is like a fresh and natural painting, diverse and beautiful, making it an ideal summer mountain retreat for the citizens of Urumqi.
The vast Tianshan Grand Canyon area includes many attractions such as the Tianshan Dam Recreation Area, Zhaobi Mountain Resort and Amusement Area, Gasdaban Sightseeing Area, Swan Lake Natural Scenic Area, Niubao Lake Forest and Pine Wave Sightseeing Area, Kazakh Ethnic Style Park, Alpine Grassland Ecological Area, and Snow Mountain Glacier Sightseeing Area. By taking an electric cart, visitors can shuttle through and appreciate the unique charm of these landscapes.
Here, you can take in the myriad of styles of the Xinjiang landscape, with towering snow mountains, deep and serene canyons, lush greenery, and the pleasant sound of flowing water. Each view seems like a masterpiece of nature, providing an excellent shooting location for photography enthusiasts.
Additionally, scattered throughout the Tianshan Grand Canyon are many Kazakh herders' yurts, offering a rich variety of local cuisine, especially the delicious mutton that makes one's mouth water. Tasting these delicious dishes amidst the mountains and waters, enjoying the gifts of nature, is undoubtedly a very comfortable experience.
Only open to Zhaobi Mountain before April 30, and half of them are not open. You have to wait until May Day. The scenery and weather have a lot to do. There is no sun, the woods and water are gray, and there is snow on the roadside and on the mountain when you go.
The weather is colder today, there are only two attractions, not very popular. It may also be the off-season, and the shops around Swan Lake are not open, very deserted. Tickets are more expensive compared to the price.
It is very convenient to discuss the car along the road with the tour guide. The round-trip traffic is very convenient. The rest is left to go by yourself. Quite satisfied, I hope to have more convenient and fast products for everyone to choose.
Tianshan Grand Canyon
The Tianshan Grand Canyon in Urumqi is a very worth visiting tourist attraction. It is located in Urumqi County, Urumqi City, about 50 kilometers drive from Urumqi City. It is a natural scenic area with snowy mountains, forests, lakes and grassland scenery. The scenery here is fresh and natural, with a very diverse and beautiful scenery, and it is a good place for local residents of Urumqi to visit the mountains in summer. In the scenic area, there are eight unique attractions in Tianshanba Leisure Area, Zhaobi Mountain Resort and Recreation Area, Gasdayu Sightseeing Area, Swan Lake Natural Scenic Area, Niuyu Lake Forest Sea Songtao Sightseeing Area, Kazakh National Style Park, Alpine Grassland Ecological Area, and Snow Mountain Glacier Sightseeing Area. Each attraction has its own unique scenery and charm. The Tianshan Grand Canyon encompasses all the natural landscapes of Xinjiang except the desert, and is a living museum of nomadic culture before human farming civilization. It has high tourism appreciation, scientific investigation and historical and cultural value.
The place is very beautiful, but the self-driving tour only allows SUVs to enter. If you are taking the scenic shuttle bus, you need to walk six kilometers of mountain roads in the middle. Today is not enough time and the sun protection equipment is not fully equipped, so I returned to the original road halfway. This is a bit regrettable. I hope that the scenic spot can provide more choices in the future, and I will brush this place twice!
The off-season opening range is only half.
