300***31:“I've been to Tianshan Tianchi several times and each time was excellent. Buying tickets through Ctrip was incredibly convenient, which was fantastic! Hot water is available within the scenic area, and the service was acceptable.
The parking lot is too far from the entrance; they could use a park-and-go area. The exit is too commercialized, like a maze. Terrible.”
Open 11:00–01:00 (the next day) (admission ends at 00:00)
M27***74:“I brought my son here to play on Friday. It was not crowded and the environment was good. The water quality was also very clean. It was a good choice for a family of three to play in the water on such a hot night. It is a good place for parent-child leisure vacation.”

1. "Qianlongyuan" is located in the 5A scenic spot "Tianshan Tianchi". Tianshan Tianchi is a world-famous alpine lake and a world natural and cultural heritage. It is located at the foot of "Bogda Peak", the highest peak in the eastern part of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang. It was called "Yaochi" in ancient times. In ancient Chinese mythology, it is the place where the Queen Mother bathed. It is 1,980 meters above sea level and has a water surface area of 4.9 square kilometers. It was formed more than 2 million years ago during the Quaternary glacial activity. In history, Genghis Khan, King Mu of Zhou, Sihanouk, Guo Moruo, and Yu Youren have left behind. The scenic area integrates mountains, lakes, forests, waterfalls, and folk culture. It is divided into five major areas: Kazakh Folk Customs Park, Tianchi, Xiaotianchi, Xiwangmu Temple, and Lingshan Temple.
① Address: No. 501, Zhuigaer Road, Fukang City, Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Private cars cannot enter. The mountain road is very long and you must take a sightseeing bus.
② Transportation: No public transportation, it is easy to park by car.
③ Peak season: summer and autumn.
④ Duration: 1 day.
2. The name of "Tianchi" was first seen in the inscription "Lingshan Tianchi Tong Canal Monument" by Mingliang, the third governor of Urumqi and the nephew-in-law of Emperor Qianlong in the 48th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1783). During the Qing Dynasty, sacrifices to "Bogda Mountain" were held once in spring and autumn. The pre-Qin ancient book "Mu Tianzi Zhuan" records that in 989 BC, the fifth monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the first traveler recorded in Chinese classics, King Mu of Zhou, Ji Man, set out from the capital Haojing to travel around the north. He sang with the Queen Mother of the West on the shore of Tianchi Lake and exchanged gifts, so Tianchi is also called Yaochi. There used to be many temples and Taoist temples near Tianchi, but only these three remain: the Temple of the Queen Mother of the West, Fushou Temple, and Lingshan Temple.
3. Xiaotianchi is located on both sides of the mountain road on the north side of Tianchi. It is divided into "East Xiaotianchi" and "West Xiaotianchi". Together with Tianchi, it is called "Mother and Daughter Pond" (Tianchi is the mother, and the two Xiaotianchi are sisters). There is also a saying that the two Xiaotianchi are the foot basins of the Queen Mother. Xiaotianchi and Tianchi are connected by a quiet cliff path. Walking between the cliffs and canyons is very artistic. This area has:
4. West Xiaotianchi is also called "Qianlongyuan". Because the lake surface resembles a full moon, it is also called "Longtan Biyue". It is one of the eight scenic spots of Tianchi. The water source comes from Tianchi. It is 2 kilometers away from Tianchi on foot. It is 1,600 meters above sea level and has a maximum water depth of 13 meters. Compared with East Xiaotianchi, it is lower in terrain and smaller in pool, so it is also called "Xiaolongtan", "Xiaolongqiu", "Baihetang" and "Yunvtan". The pool reflects the phantom of pine trees. On one side is a small waterfall, forming the landscape "Yutan Yinlian". There is a "Jiantao Pavilion" built on the high ground, which is a good high-level viewing point.”
azicat2014:“The scenery is good, and the construction and management are also good, including the cableway and minibus. But the 220 ticket (including transportation and cableway) is still a bit expensive. We only climbed to the second viewing platform, and looking at the third one, it was too high, almost like climbing Huangshan. As a tourist who played at Tianchi on the first day of the trip, it is recommended not to climb to the top, and save energy for the subsequent trip. Finally, I think the Stone Forest here is more beautiful than the one in Kunming.”
秋雁:“Is this Tianshan? Is it the mountain connecting to the sky? Yes! I waded through the mountains and water, I am not far away, I come, I want to touch the sky, I want to stand on the sky. The clouds are at my feet, the sky is above my head, the sky is above me, I stand on the sky.”
Anonymous user:“The ski slope is very good, very good, you can live in the hotel in the ski resort, the scenery is very good, the coach is also good. The ski slope is very good, very good, you can live in the hotel in the ski resort, the scenery is very good, the coach is also good. The ski slope is very good, very good, you can live in the hotel in the ski resort, the scenery is very good, the coach is also good.”
Open tomorrow at 08:30-19:30 (admission ends at 18:30)

3. Dinghai Shenzhen: Located on the north bank of Tianchi Lake, it is one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Tianchi Lake". It is an ancient elm tree, a hybrid of large-leaf elm and small-leaf elm. According to legend, when the Queen Mother of the West held a peach banquet, the Tianchi water monster was not invited and started to stir up trouble. The Queen Mother of the West subdued it with her own jade hairpin, which later turned into this tree. The altitude of 2,000 meters is not suitable for the growth of elm trees. Every time the water level of Tianchi Lake rises, it happens not to flood this tree, which shows its magical nature. Therefore, its branches are hung with red blessing ribbons.”

4. East Xiaotianchi is located below the sluice gate on the northeast bank of Tianchi. It is the outlet of Tianchi and the potential storage platform of the waterfall. It is 500 meters away from Tianchi, 1,875 meters above sea level, and has a maximum water depth of 11 meters. It is said to be the nest of the little flying dragon, also known as "Flying Dragon Pond". There is also a legend that this pool is also the bathing place of the Queen Mother of the West, so it is also called "Combing Stream" and "Bath Fairy Basin". The quiet dark green of the pool water contrasts sharply with the magnificent and noisy waterfall at its outlet.”
阳凡妈妈:“I took my child on the two-hour round trip and played for two hours. After watching Flying Over China, nothing else was interesting. There was too little content. What is worth praising is that the service attitude is very good. It is recommended to add some activities with high participation.”

3. Xiwangmu Temple: Located on the northeast bank of Tianchi Lake, this famous Taoist temple was built in the early Yuan Dynasty. It is dedicated to the Queen Mother, so it is also called "Niangniang Temple". It has been repaired three times in history. The most recent one was destroyed in the war in 1932. It was rebuilt in 1999 on the hillside with a wide view. The entrance fee is 10 yuan. If you are thirsty on the way, you can buy watermelons at a friendly price of 6 yuan and Hami melons at 10 yuan. There is a cruise ship dock on the shore of the temple. It costs 80 yuan to take a boat back to the north bank.”

M12***19:“Tianchi Farmhouse, Xinjiang good taste.
1. Picked from the vegetable field, fresh and refreshing.
2. Authentic barbecue
3. Fifteen-year-old grape vines cover the whole yard, and the big plate chicken is delicious.”
M47***75:“Youyoule Farmhouse, the mutton stewed pancakes are super good, the big plate chicken is chewy and delicious, and the wild onion scrambled eggs were doubled to satisfy the taste. The environment is clean and tidy. There are vegetables planted in the small vegetable garden, cucumbers, tomatoes, loofahs, and many unripe grapes hanging on the grape racks. I really want to eat them, but the boss said they are not ripe yet, and we can eat them when they are ripe in September. The service is warm and thoughtful.”
M22***08:“We saw the good reviews and "determinedly" passed by the farmhouses one by one without entering, and chose "Ma Zhiyong Farmhouse"! We were actually very nervous while waiting, but after the braised big plate chicken was served, all the "anxiety" disappeared after a bite, especially the boss thoughtfully sent sweet and juicy watermelon 🍉, which brought a touch of coolness to the hot summer!
PS.①The store is easy to find, right at the intersection!
②There is a big parking lot at the door!”
梦露夫人:“I signed up for a tour of Tianshan Lake in Urumqi on Ctrip.com. The tour group has two activities, the main one is to visit Tianshan Lake, and the other one is to visit the Uyghur yurts and singing and dancing performances, and prepare various delicacies for tourists.
Everyone participated in the activities happily. In addition to eating and drinking well, they also enjoyed beautiful dances and pleasant guitar performances, and then they could wear ethnic costumes to take beautiful photos. Everyone was very happy and participated in the activities. Everyone rushed to wear various costumes and took many beautiful photos.
Many people also rode camels. In short, everyone was smiling and holding their own beautiful photos in their hands.”
M27***86:“[Taste] The taste is very authentic, the service attitude is sincere, the dining environment is elegant, the recommended set meal is very affordable, and the price is very reasonable. Next time I dine, I will first consider dining here again. It's great”
鲤鱼停云记:“I came here with my family during the Spring Festival. The environment is really good. I also watched the fireworks. It is very comfortable to soak in the hot springs in winter. The buffet is generally good, but the supplementary dishes during peak hours need to be improved. I hope it will get better and better. I will bring my children here next time when it is hot!”
288***37:“Halal restaurant, the noodles and hand-pulled rice are delicious, the noodles are chewy, the rice is delicious and thirst-quenching, the price is not expensive, the service attitude is good, the environment is good, clean and sanitary, close to the commercial street, shopping is very convenient,”
大懒猪001:“We booked a one-day tour to Tianchi Lake on short notice. The scenic spots in Xinjiang are far away, so we had lunch in the scenic spot. The food street was full of tourists. This restaurant only caters for groups, and because there are so many people, they all have time orders, so don't expect service. It's good enough if the tableware is complete and the rice is sufficient.
My personal understanding of Nine Bowls and Three Rows is that eight dishes and one soup are arranged in three rows, with various meat dishes, and the quantity is not small. Several dishes taste good. You mainly look at the characteristics and try a bite. After eating, you can continue to eat naan and lamb skewers.”
