Anciently known as the ‘Jade Pool’, Tianshan Tianchi is located at the waist of the northern slope of Bogda Peak in Fukang City, Changji Hui Autonomous Region, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It is a natural scenic area centered around an alpine lake, 97 kilometers away from Urumqi City. The planning area of the scenic area is 548 square kilometers, divided into 8 scenic areas, 15 scenic clusters, and 38 scenic spots. It is a typical mountainous natural landscape in the arid northwest of China.
The lake surface of Tianshan Tianchi is at an altitude of 1,910 meters, 3.5 kilometers long from north to south and 0.8 to 1.5 kilometers wide from east to west, with a maximum depth of 103 meters. Surrounded by spruce trees and reflected by snowy peaks, it is very spectacular and a famous summer resort and tourist destination. There are two theories about the formation of Tianchi: an ancient glacial erosion-end moraine dammed lake and a landslide dammed lake. Tianshan Tianchi, with snowy peaks reflected in the water, surrounded by spruce trees, and a mirror-like blue lake, offers picturesque scenery.
Tianshan Tianchi is characterized by its complete vertical natural landscape belt, snowy mountains and glaciers, and alpine lakes. With ancient myths of the Western Queen Mother of the Jade Pool, religion, and unique ethnic folklore as its cultural connotation, it is an excellent destination for sightseeing, science popularization, exploration, leisure and fitness, and experiencing ethnic customs.
