Things to do in Urumqi

Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the lake is crystal clear, with Bogda Peak clearly visible in the distance—a truly breathtaking sight for photos. Taking a shuttle bus and then walking along the boardwalk offers stunning views of the spruce meadows and their reflections. The scenic area is quite large, so it's recommended to leave early, bring a jacket for sun protection, and pack your own water and snacks. The round trip is a bit tiring, but the scenery is absolutely gorgeous, making it well worth the trip. Overall, the experience is comfortable and suitable for families and first-time visitors to Xinjiang. A huge thumbs up to the driver!!

The guided tour experience at the Xinjiang Museum was top-notch! ✨ The guides were professional and engaging, providing a wealth of information and vividly recounting the history of the Silk Road. They explained the museum's most prized artifacts in detail, revealing many background stories not found in books. It was far more rewarding than visiting on your own. A guided tour is a must when visiting Xinjiang!

It's a great place to experience the rich ethnic culture of Xinjiang. The architecture is very unique, and the atmosphere is especially wonderful when the lights come on at night. The food, handicrafts, and song and dance performances are all quite local. If it's your first time visiting Xinjiang, it's definitely worth a visit. However, the area is quite commercialized, and many goods and restaurants are on the expensive side. I suggest you shop around and compare prices before making any purchases. It's better to treat it as a place to experience local culture and take photos.

It's a large place, with the attractions divided into several sections. When I went, there were very few food stalls, and it felt quite deserted. Many areas were fenced off, and I had no idea where to go. The signage was unclear, and I felt like I was wandering around on my own.

It's very fun to play with, and the horses are adorable! However, I must give a bad review specifically for the attitude of one of the front desk staff members. This lady, with a very high hairline and extremely thin and sparse hair, treated customers with contempt and perfunctory manners, making us wait unnecessarily for 30-40 minutes!! Just so someone could lead us from the front desk to the sightseeing elevator! I cannot understand this behavior, and I hope the organization will take note of this review and implement relevant service training requirements. The service attitude of another beautiful and kind front desk lady stands in stark contrast to that of the lady with bald patches covering her scalp.

It is also a park in the central area of ​​​​Urumqi. This park is also named after a beautiful carp fairy legend, so many college entrance examination students will come here to take a walk, and the park can be as famous as the legend.

The driver of the new AW9 N 7* was excellent and very patient. He called ahead to pick everyone up from the hotel, the itinerary was well-planned, he was very responsible, and his driving skills were superb. The car was spacious and comfortable. The drive to the destination was also very pleasant. We passed a field of sunflowers and he even asked if we wanted to take photos. Scenery: At this time of year, the grass wasn't as green, more yellow, and there were lambs grazing on the hillsides. The unique scenery was beautiful. The sky was high and the clouds were white, with eagles circling overhead. Luckily, we even encountered some chubby marmots sunbathing along the way! Value for Money: Overall, I had a great time. There was no forced spending; it was all voluntary!

The driver was very nice and professional. He also gave us explanations along the way. His driving skills were first-class and the car was clean and tidy. He was attentive to answer our questions from the moment he picked us up to the scenic spot and on the way back. We had a great time! Highly recommended

As you slowly ascend the stone steps, the maple trees along the path are already tinged with pale red, and a gust of wind shakes down a few palm-shaped fragments of sunlight. The Red Hill Pagoda stands quietly atop the mountain, its vermilion body contrasting against the distant city's sprawling buildings. The lake at your feet shimmers with golden light, and even the pine resin carried by the wind exudes the relaxed atmosphere unique to this city. Elderly people stroll leisurely along the path, while children hop and skip on the stone steps, clutching half a sausage. Looking up, you can see the horizon dyed a warm orange by the sunset. Every step on the stone path holds within it the familiar everyday life of the people of Urumqi.

Shuimogou Park is located in Shuimogou District, Urumqi. It is a free attraction and a must-visit attraction in Urumqi. It is also a good place to escape the heat in the hot summer. Walking along the wooden plank road of Shuimo River, you can see the rapid flow of water, the sound of rushing water, and the formation of small waterfalls. The spring water under the Qingquan Bridge in front of Qingquan Zen Temple is so clear that you can see the bottom. The green water plants are swaying, and groups of koi are chasing and playing in the water, forming a cool and beautiful picture!
