The efficiency of the shuttle bus is a bit low. When you encounter a large group of 150 people serving as a team building, you have to wait for a long time for a small car with 15 seats. The signal should be better soon after the brothers are laying optical cables. The scenery is beautiful and the air is good. The Grand Canyon is really cool in summer.
Friends who go around the lake, be careful of the thorny flowers on the edge of Swan Lake
It was a very good experience. We were picked up by a kind-hearted lady who was also a very good driver. She also helped us get the tickets quickly at the scenic spots, which were much cheaper than the platform tickets. She was very responsible. She asked us to take photos and check in at each scenic spot, and she waited very patiently. When we came back, we wanted to go to the Grand Bazaar, and she walked straight away without saying a word. There was a lot of traffic jams, but she didn't complain. It was a very heartwarming trip. Thumbs up for the lady 👍

You must buy a helmet, otherwise you will not be allowed to go in. After passing the cable car next to the beginner's trail, if you turn right, be careful of the large angle slope at the beginning. The main reason is that there is no protection around. I feel that a little more protection can be added, otherwise it will be too dangerous for novices. If you are not careful, you will fall or even rush down. I hope the staff of the scenic spot will pay attention to this.
I used to go skiing in the Altay region of Xinjiang in winter. I believe everyone has heard of the ski resort there. This year, due to work reasons, I don’t have such a long vacation, so I can only choose to ski in Urumqi, Xinjiang. Although the Silu Ski Resort cannot be compared with the Altay Ski Resort, the actual experience is very good. The newly built East District Ski Equipment Hall of the Silk Road Ski Resort is very spacious and modern. It is very friendly to classmates. This time I mainly skied the Happy Valley of the Silk Road Ski Resort, which is more fun.

Nanshan may not be the most favored well-known scenic spot in Damei Xinjiang, but it is very good. He is the best summer destination and niche tourist punching place for Urumqi citizens. If you are a tourist who can play, it is no less than the grasslands of Yili and Altay. The key is that the price is very high here. From Urumqi to the south to the southwest, there are many places to play in Nanshan. There are 10 days of mountain ditches, whether it is to create a scenic spot or not to create a scenic spot, it will give you an intimate contact with nature and visual enjoyment, the deep mountain jungle is more natural, even a few hours of stay will give a relaxing and pleasant experience. Hiking, riding or driving, you can choose
The scenic spot is not big. The direct bus charges extra and the charges are too high. Even if you are a member of a group tour, you need to pay extra after getting on the bus. The charge is 70-125 yuan. Director Zhang Na's service is very good. She introduced it in detail, helped take photos, and took special care of tourists in need. The shortcut to the snow mountain was blocked by a program group, and the play time was relatively short. The trip felt tiring. It was too early to return at 4 o'clock.
