2025 Fukang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

A guide to avoiding pitfalls at Tianchi in Tianshan Mountain. Don’t go there without a good guide! 1. The tour guide will recommend you a Kazakh home visit, saying it costs 100 yuan per person, including food and drinks in the yurt, and there will also be performances! Don't go! This is a pit, the lamb skewers are very salty, and the performance is perfunctory 2. You don't have to take the boat to Tianchi! You can walk to the Xiwangmu Temple, which takes about 20 minutes. 3. Be sure to bring a coat! Because Tianshan is really cold, the sky is clear one second and it rains heavily the next second 4. The last return train is at 20:30, please calculate the time 5. Xinjiang is very sunny in midsummer, so be sure to take good sun protection to avoid sunburn 6. There are many stones with "Tianchi" engraved on them in the scenic spots. There is no need to queue up at the entrance to take pictures. There are many empty seats if you walk inside 7. You don't need to go down to the lowest platform to take pictures with Tianchi. You can take pictures with Tianchi + Snow Mountain by pulling up a large lens at a high altitude. The lowest platform is full of people, and there will always be someone who accidentally breaks into your lens 8. The price of dining in Tianchi Scenic Area is relatively high. You can bring your own water and food to solve lunch to avoid expenses 9. The journey from the winding mountain section is about 40 minutes, so take motion sickness medicine in advance 10. Buy tickets + section tickets online in advance. Although it doesn't save a few dollars, it saves the time of queuing on site. The efficiency of ticket sales on site is very slow. 11. There are several grocery stores from the parking lot to the ticket office. If you need to buy ice sleeves, sun hats, and replenish water, just buy them if you like. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Activities: Enjoy a boat ride on the lake, hike the scenic trails, or visit the nearby Kazakh yurts for a cultural experience.

My first trip to Xinjiang, and today I visited the Tianshan Grand Canyon and Heavenly Lake. To be honest, I used to think of Urumqi as a very chaotic and backward place. Many of my friends in Taiwan questioned why I would want to travel to such a backward place as Xinjiang. But you really have to experience it yourself to understand the beauty of Xinjiang! Traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books! It's truly worth visiting! 📍Address: Tianshan, Xinjiang 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Absolutely fantastic

You must visit Xinjiang once! Because... it is so beautiful! Last summer I went to Xinjiang to play. Altay is really beautiful. I like eating baked buns. I can eat baked naan all the time. I don’t like it very much. My teeth are not good. It’s hard to bite. The lamb skewers are really big. We often go to the local After eating at the night market, I went to sleep at one o'clock. I got up at seven in the morning to continue my journey. Because it was a self-driving tour, I had to get up two hours earlier than the locals and couldn't sleep in. But I would sleep in the car because I wasn't driving. Hami melons are super sweet. Huoyan Mountain is very hot. I ate cultural ice cream there. Bayin has a lot of birds. I thought Bayin was like the one in "Flying Life". Maybe the place we went to was different from the place where we filmed. The sun was very strong and I kept wearing Wearing a hat, Tianshan Tianchi is very wide, the mountain is very high, the trees are very green, and the water is very blue. It is the same as I imagined, but also different. There is a snow-capped mountain. This is the first snow-capped mountain I have seen. I climbed halfway up, but it was too steep and I couldn't see the end. It was the first time I saw a camel with two humps on the national highway. When I was in high school, I received a gift of a camel doll with one hump. We were very close before, but we are no longer in touch now. The mountains in Altay are alive, and the water is also alive and flowing. The river is the blood of the mountains and rivers, feeding the creatures on them. When the car stopped by the roadside to rest, a local child took a photo with his lamb and paid for it. They both looked very much like Lazy Sheep. The child also had curly hair. He squatted down and held it in his hand. The lamb's head is talking to him and touching noses. It's so cute. It's like they can really communicate. In the Kanas scenic area of ​​Burqin County, I saw the green lake, crows gathered together, ducks swimming, wooden houses of families, colorful flags, eagles flying in the sky, and the karst landforms written in the geography book at Wucai Beach. In Bor Tara saw the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean and the magnificent Guozigou Bridge. I saw people riding horses and pulling sheep carts. The prayer flags fluttered in the wind. The clouds were very close to the mountains, casting shadows on the mountains, sometimes bright and sometimes dark. I felt this. The land is breathing with me in front of my eyes. I took a nap on the bus to Nalati and woke up in Xinjiang. There is an electronic screen at the visitor center of Bayin Scenic Area with a sentence written on it that can summarize all the moments I have spent on this land - "Standing on this magnificent grassland, it is difficult for us to judge whether this is a paradise on earth or a paradise on earth." Life is short, don't worry too much. Instead of spending your days in turmoil, it is better to live happily in comfort.

It was really worth the trip to Tianshan Tianchi in Xinjiang in November! It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful! 🚗It takes about 1 hour to drive to Urumqi. After buying a ticket to the scenic spot, enter It takes about half an hour to take the bus in the scenic area. Sit in the first row. The left and right sides are really not that important!!

I forgot to bring my ID card and was worried all the way to 105 off-season💰It is still quite cold in November, but it is really warm in the sunny places at noon, but you still have to wear thicker clothes!! It will be even colder on the mountain🧣

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : The room is warm enough ❸Drink more water and take more vitamin C, dry skin can easily cause inflammation ❹Xinjiang is not as cold as imagined! I brought a lot of hot packs but I didn’t use any of them!

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

The steepest cableway in China, Mayashan Cableway, is located in Mayashan Scenic Area. It is spectacular to overlook Tianchi Lake and Bogda Peak from a high place. A different wooden plank road experience, there is also a meadow on the top of the mountain, full of wild flowers, which is super beautiful for taking pictures in early autumn. Before taking the cableway, you have to take a sightseeing bus for about 20 minutes. The sightseeing bus passes through the snow-capped spruce forest. In early autumn, the snow-capped spruce is still green, and the surrounding wild flowers and weeds begin to turn yellow. The collision of vitality and decay is a different kind of beauty. The cliff view of the cloud coffee house is located at the lower left of the first viewing platform of the Mayashan Cableway. It is built on the mountain, with a suspended stilt building and a large floor-to-ceiling window. You can overlook Tianchi Lake and take pictures with the snow-capped mountains. The photos are superb and especially good. #马牙山 #注册六月酒店试睡員2025 #天山天池 #乌鲁木齐 #天山天池

The natural scenery here is more unique compared to other places in China that I’ve visited. The views resemble those in Europe. All the destinations I visited are rated as 5A attractions in China, such as: 1. Tianchi Lake in Tianshan, Urumqi. Absolutely stunning! It’s a lake situated atop a high mountain. 2. Nalati Grassland near Yining. Breathtakingly beautiful, it’s a pastureland reminiscent of Switzerland. Taking the park shuttle to the final stop leads to a scenic area with pine forests and streams. 3. Sayram Lake. Vast and magnificent, I recommend driving through to enjoy the complete scenery of the lake, mountains, and grasslands. 4. Kalajun Grassland. Known as the "Sky Grassland," it’s close to the snow-capped peaks of Tianshan. The views are very Swiss-like. Give it a try! Although traveling there might be a bit challenging, it’s absolutely worth it for the sights you’ll see.
