Tianshan (“Heavenly Mountain”) Grand Canyon, Ürümqi Photos: Trip Moments
Xinjiang | I'm back from the snow in UrumqiThis journey really amazed me, especially the straight road windmill snow mountain, which gives a feeling of pretending to be abroad. After passing the Urumqi toll inspection station from the G30 national highway, the right side is the Tianshan mountain range all the way, and the left side is the winding snow mountain all the way. I was a bit disappointed at first, because the snow mountain scenery I wanted to shoot was all on the left side. On a whim, I saw that the ticket for the Tianshan Grand Canyon plus the interval car was only 58 yuan, so I decisively navigated there. I didn't expect to go directly to the winding snow mountain after going around the toll station. It's so beautiful. There is no cause and effect in the world. Many people can only walk silently on the path of kindness and misfortune, and finally hide all kinds of helplessness in the world with a faint self-mockery or complete silence.TranscontinentalWanderlust$7485

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.
The Tianshan Grand Canyon is very beautiful. I heard from the tour guide. The road just entered the scenic spot is full of artificial vegetation. It is said that it has invested several hundred million yuan. Take the shuttle bus and park twice. The scenery is beautiful and the water is blue, but the whole is not too amazing.
You don't have to consider the off-season to play. The scenic spot is closed for three quarters. After entering the scenic spot, the shuttle bus gets off three routes. Each route is no more than 1 km walk. The road is closed. The good natural scenery is artificially left and right. It feels that it is not planned well.
The process is: after entering the scenic spot, the bus will take you to the first stop. You will almost pull you to the second stop is Swan Lake. You can choose to sit back or choose to walk for six kilometers. The picture is quite beautiful, there may be no interesting, there are curious people to go around, but it is really not so fun, really go may be a little disappointed.
The scenery is beautiful, the blue lake can't be seen at a glance, and the blue sky and white clouds are better than fairy scenery. come back next time. The whole family comes together.
I love the Tianshan Grand Canyon, I hiked for five kilometers and the scenery is more beautiful. Not very anxious, physical strength is OK, you must hike, not very tired. Very fairy tale world, but the route of the business car is a bit curved, pay attention to sit steadily, it hurts to hit it
Because I finally went to Urumqi and thought I couldn't go in vain, I went to the Tianshan Grand Canyon. Before I went to Yili, I thought it was really worth coming. The scenery was good and the mountain climbing was good. There are lakes, mountains and rivers, but the tickets are a bit expensive and it is really hard to walk up and down for five kilometers.
