Admission is free by appointment. The first floor is under renovation, but the second and third floors are open. The second floor has seven exhibition halls, mainly showcasing Xinjiang's development history and the evolution of handicrafts, agriculture, mining, and culture. The third floor has four exhibition halls dedicated to cultural relics and Party building.
It was my first time in Xinjiang. The tour guide I booked was very nice. He contacted us in advance and informed us of the walking route, parking location, and tips for entering the museum. He also gave very good explanations and a wide range of knowledge. He combined our basic understanding of Xinjiang with a targeted introduction. He also had a very good grasp of the rhythm and the content of the explanation was easy to understand. It was a very good experience.

The equestrian show was also fantastic. With the commentator's explanation, handsome horses made their grand entrances. Under the skillful guidance of the equestrian, they showed off their unique skills. There were also performances like chasing girls, horseback archery, and sheep-catching. The cutest one, pictured in Figure 5, was the smallest horse in the world. Don't be fooled by its small size; it ran incredibly fast.
I came here 10 years ago. At that time, there were not so many business types and it was not a tourist attraction. It has changed a lot. You can see the Arabian horses up close, feed them, touch them, and take all kinds of photos. The only thing is that the carrots are too expensive, 30/a small bunch. Remember to buy carrots (cut into strips) outside, it’s cheaper.

It is also a park in the central area of Urumqi. This park is also named after a beautiful carp fairy legend, so many college entrance examination students will come here to take a walk, and the park can be as famous as the legend.
Urumqi's urban leisure park has a good environment, lush trees and gentle mountains. It is very suitable for local residents to stroll around, enjoy the spring scenery, enjoy the lake scenery, and climb high to see the distant view. It is a very pleasant journey!

Located in the center of Urumqi, Hongshan Park is a free attraction, and it is also a must-play attraction in Urumqi. After entering the park through security check, go straight all the way up, pass the Big Buddha Temple, and overlook the building (you need to pay ten yuan per person to climb the building) to reach the iconic building Hongshan Tower. Across the Red Mountain Tower, you can see the whole picture of the city center of Urumqi.
Urumqi Hongshan Park is located in the city center and is a national tourist attraction. The park is named for Hongshan, and the mountain is red. The park has Hongshan Tower, Big Buddha Temple, Yuanyulou and other attractions, as well as green spaces, lakes and other natural landscapes. It is a comprehensive natural mountain park integrating tourism, classical characteristics, humanistic connotation, and sports and fitness. It is a national 4A-level tourist scenic spot. It is also one of the new ten scenes of Urumqi City. It is a free park and personally feels worth a visit.

Our driver, Mr. Wang Peng, was very helpful and attentive. He recommended some of the local attractions we visited, and the scenery was quite nice. We all had a great time. We visited the Tianshan Grand Canyon, which boasts lakes, grasslands, forests, and canyons. While it's not as impressive as a single natural attraction, it was a good place to experience it. The driver was very patient, waiting for us to fully explore the area before dropping us off at Hotan Second Street on our way back to the city, so we could easily visit the night market. I highly recommend his service.
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

This is a good place to relax and cool off. The tree-shaded path surrounds the mountain, and the clear river is full of fish. I know that the ticket is temporarily free, or it may be permanently free. The road around the mountain is shaded by trees, which is good for taking a walk. If you are tired and can't walk anymore, you can take an electric car. Of course, the electric car is charged, which is quite cheap, and it costs maintenance.
Such a spacious green mountain, and Qingquan Zen Temple lives in the quiet river. For those who believe in Buddhism, this is a blessed place, where you can relax and show piety.
There are all kinds of fun things for children, which is a paradise for children's amusement, and a good place for adults to take their children out for a party. It's so fun that you don't want to leave after you go there, but you have to grasp the time!
Shuimogou Park is located in Shuimogou District, Urumqi. It is a free attraction and a must-visit attraction in Urumqi. It is also a good place to escape the heat in the hot summer. Walking along the wooden plank road of Shuimo River, you can see the rapid flow of water, the sound of rushing water, and the formation of small waterfalls. The spring water under the Qingquan Bridge in front of Qingquan Zen Temple is so clear that you can see the bottom. The green water plants are swaying, and groups of koi are chasing and playing in the water, forming a cool and beautiful picture!

The ticket price for one adult and two children (adult with 10 and 12-year-old children) is 200 yuan per person, which is a bit expensive. The adults don't play much, but accompany to take things and take photos and take care of meals. The meals in the park are 50 yuan per person, 8 yuan for a sausage, 25 yuan for an ice cream, and 50 yuan for three sausages and an ice cream when hungry. I feel that if you stay for a day, you have to buy water and eat a meal, so the cost per person will be higher. It is recommended that if you travel with a family, you can buy a package ticket of about 300 yuan.
I really like this trip.
Hygiene: very clean.
Environment: neat and unique, very clean.
Service: warm and thoughtful, very detailed, with fruit.
Facilities: complete, with free parking, gym, laundry room, restaurant, everything you need.

[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.
Urumqi Botanical Garden was built in 1986.
Now it has built different types of parks,
including rose garden, perennial flower area, planting demonstration area, desert plant area, lawn sightseeing area, honeysuckle area, medicinal plant area, fruit tree area, nectar source plant area, rose plant area, pine and cypress area, etc. There are 9 special gardens, including rose garden, perennial flower area, planting demonstration area, fruit tree area, desert plant area, pine and cypress area, honeysuckle area, nectar source plant area, rose garden, etc. It is a national 3A-level scenic spot and Urumqi's "Youth Science Education Base". It is a comprehensive botanical garden integrating scientific research, popular science, science education, and sightseeing.

There are rich amusement projects in the park, including an animal park, a non-powered park and a powered park. A day's visit is very fulfilling. The natural greenery is also good, but the service quality needs to be improved, whether it is the slow ticket sales and collection service for entering the park, or the park's electric vehicles, etc.
The package is very cost-effective, the Happy Zoo is especially worth going to, and the Elf Tribe is also very fun, it is worth taking the children to play
