What travelers say:
Only open to Zhaobi Mountain before April 30, and half of them are not open. You have to wait until May Day. The scenery and weather have a lot to do. There is no sun, the woods and water are gray, and there is snow on the roadside and on the mountain when you go.

Xinjiang | I'm back from the snow in UrumqiThis journey really amazed me, especially the straight road windmill snow mountain, which gives a feeling of pretending to be abroad. After passing the Urumqi toll inspection station from the G30 national highway, the right side is the Tianshan mountain range all the way, and the left side is the winding snow mountain all the way. I was a bit disappointed at first, because the snow mountain scenery I wanted to shoot was all on the left side. On a whim, I saw that the ticket for the Tianshan Grand Canyon plus the interval car was only 58 yuan, so I decisively navigated there. I didn't expect to go directly to the winding snow mountain after going around the toll station. It's so beautiful. There is no cause and effect in the world. Many people can only walk silently on the path of kindness and misfortune, and finally hide all kinds of helplessness in the world with a faint self-mockery or complete silence.TranscontinentalWanderlust$7485

Only open to Zhaobi Mountain before April 30, and half of them are not open. You have to wait until May Day. The scenery and weather have a lot to do. There is no sun, the woods and water are gray, and there is snow on the roadside and on the mountain when you go.
The weather is colder today, there are only two attractions, not very popular. It may also be the off-season, and the shops around Swan Lake are not open, very deserted. Tickets are more expensive compared to the price.
It is very convenient to discuss the car along the road with the tour guide. The round-trip traffic is very convenient. The rest is left to go by yourself. Quite satisfied, I hope to have more convenient and fast products for everyone to choose.
Tianshan Grand Canyon
The Tianshan Grand Canyon in Urumqi is a very worth visiting tourist attraction. It is located in Urumqi County, Urumqi City, about 50 kilometers drive from Urumqi City. It is a natural scenic area with snowy mountains, forests, lakes and grassland scenery. The scenery here is fresh and natural, with a very diverse and beautiful scenery, and it is a good place for local residents of Urumqi to visit the mountains in summer. In the scenic area, there are eight unique attractions in Tianshanba Leisure Area, Zhaobi Mountain Resort and Recreation Area, Gasdayu Sightseeing Area, Swan Lake Natural Scenic Area, Niuyu Lake Forest Sea Songtao Sightseeing Area, Kazakh National Style Park, Alpine Grassland Ecological Area, and Snow Mountain Glacier Sightseeing Area. Each attraction has its own unique scenery and charm. The Tianshan Grand Canyon encompasses all the natural landscapes of Xinjiang except the desert, and is a living museum of nomadic culture before human farming civilization. It has high tourism appreciation, scientific investigation and historical and cultural value.
The place is very beautiful, but the self-driving tour only allows SUVs to enter. If you are taking the scenic shuttle bus, you need to walk six kilometers of mountain roads in the middle. Today is not enough time and the sun protection equipment is not fully equipped, so I returned to the original road halfway. This is a bit regrettable. I hope that the scenic spot can provide more choices in the future, and I will brush this place twice!
The off-season opening range is only half.
