    The explanations are professional, gentle, and engaging. The exhibition is rich in content, with a clear main storyline, questions and answers, comprehensive historical knowledge, and a focus on key points. It is also very timely.

    The Urumqi Akhal-Teke Horse Base is a hidden gem in the city, a must-visit destination offering both spectacular sights and unique experiences! It boasts over 400 Akhal-Teke horses and 18 world-renowned breeds, each with a graceful physique and striking appearance. A close look reveals their shimmering coats and elegant bearing, with some worth millions of dollars truly breathtaking. The park offers comprehensive facilities and excellent value for money with its package tickets. Not only can you enjoy exciting equestrian performances and the traditional "Girl Chase" show, but you can also experience horseback riding, feeding the horses, and more. Children can ride miniature ponies for added fun. The petrified wood forest, poplar forest, and wild horse art museum complement each other beautifully, while Central Asian cuisine and comfortable accommodations add further delights. From experiencing horse culture to immersing yourself in nature and art, this place is both a Silk Road cultural hub and a family-friendly leisure destination. Immerse yourself in a blend of passion and romance – it's definitely worth a visit!

    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.

    After visiting Xibaiyanggou and Juhuatai during the day, you can simply wait for nightfall to stargaze. My family and I did just that. We stargazed at Wulastai until 2 a.m. before returning to our hotel. Of course, you can also go to a proper stargazing spot, which isn't far away. It's more comfortable there, with tents and warm blankets, and the ticket price is about 120 RMB per person.

    Shuimogou (Water Mill Gully) gets its name from the watermill built here by Qing Dynasty troops. The park boasts numerous historical sites, and poems left by literati such as Ji Xiaolan add to its cultural significance. The scenic area comprises five mountains and one river, including Qingquan Mountain and Hongqiao Mountain. The Shuimo River flows through it, its course dotted with springs, streams, waterfalls, and emerald pools, offering diverse scenery in each season: spring for flowers, summer for escaping the heat, autumn for red leaves, and winter for snowscapes, the latter being particularly delightful. The area is known as a "natural oxygen bar in the city." Admission is free.

    [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.

    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.
