    The scenery of Lujiao Bay is picturesque, but it is only in June, July and August that the scenery is the most beautiful. Flowers are blooming and the lawn is green like a velvet carpet. You and your children can roll around and play on the carpet to your heart's content. It's super cool.

    The Xinjiang Grand Theatre is located in Changji, 33 kilometers from Urimqi. A half-hour taxi ride away, the large-scale performance "Return to the Western Regions" is worth seeing. The theatre's building, resembling a golden snow lotus, is a beautiful sight.

    There are two versions, 50 and 75 minutes, with prices varying depending on the number of seats. The 50-minute version features eight or nine festivals, and in addition to the stage performances, there are also performances close to the audience. The actors are very dedicated, and the program is mainly song-based, with no plot, focusing on the customs and culture of Xinjiang.

    Speaking of deserts, friends in the south must be very curious and unfamiliar with them. It is hot in summer and cold in winter. It is very beautiful and has a unique western style. It is a place you will fall in love with as soon as you come. Come and check it out! !

    [Scenery] It's a good place. Xinjiang is very large. Urumqi is the capital. Urumqi has a large population. There are many delicious and fun botanical gardens here. It's still very good. Because Xinjiang has more desert areas, there are not many plants. You can see a lot of plants here and taste a lot of grapes. It's very good.

    This canyon is indeed spectacular, with a very uniform height, but the mountain's structure is strangely fractured. There's almost no vegetation, and the colors aren't very vibrant. The only downside is that there's no path down; you can only view it from above. Going down and experiencing it firsthand would surely offer a different perspective.
