If you are traveling to Xinjiang in the coming days, you can choose famous attractions such as Tianshan Tianchi, Kanas, Sayram Lake, Jiangbulake, and Ghost City. Here are detailed introductions to these attractions:?
Tianshan Tianchi: Known as the Fairyland of the Yao Pool, it is the birthplace of Chinese mythology and still circulates stories about the Queen Mother of the West and King Mu of Zhou. The scenery here is absolutely stunning, with eight major landscapes such as Stone Gate and a Single Thread of Sky, the Anchoring Pole of the Sea God, Viewing Pines on Nanshan Mountain, etc. It is the living room of the Xinjiang people and one of the must-visit attractions for tourists in Xinjiang.?
Kanas: As an established 5A-level scenic spot in Xinjiang, Kanas has unique scenery throughout the four seasons. It is lush and green in spring, vibrant with summer flowers, colorful with autumn foliage, and like a fairy tale-like icy wonderland in winter. The beauty of Kanas lies in its mountains and waters. Moon Bay, Shenxian Bay, Wolong Bay, etc., are must-visit attractions in the scenic area.?
Sayram Lake: It has been praised by Sa Beining as "You haven’t lived if you haven’t been to Sayram Lake". This is an alpine lake with clear and blue water. In different seasons, Sayram Lake has different charms. In summer, the shore is covered with various flowers, and walking on the plank path feels like walking through the wind with fragrance; in autumn, autumn colors gradually climb up the hills, with golden mountains and snow-capped fir trees layered upon each other; in winter, it is the highlight of Sayram Lake, where you can enjoy ice pushing, ice holes, blue ice, and other wonders.?
Jiangbulake: This is a secret realm hidden deep in the Tianshan Mountains and is also a 5A-level scenic area, but many people, including many locals in Xinjiang, do not know about it. The scenery here is breathtaking, with features such as the longest strange slope certified by the Guinness World Records. It is a place worth exploring.?
Ghost City: This is one of the three most beautiful Yadan landforms in China. Year after year, the wind and sand have eroded it into a real maze. Whenever there is a windy day, the gale howls between the rock walls, sounding like demons crying. It is also a filming location for the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and has extremely high ornamental value.?
In addition, Xinjiang has many other scenic spots worth visiting, such as the Tianshan Grand Canyon and Grape Valley. When planning your itinerary, you can choose suitable attractions based on your interests and time. Meanwhile, pay attention to checking the local weather forecast and traffic conditions to ensure a smooth and safe journey.?
