Xinjiang is a place that makes all travel lovers dream about. It has a vast land, magnificent mountains and rivers, many ethnic groups, and colorful customs. There are not only Tianshan Tianchi, Tomur, Karajun, Kurdenin, Bayinbulak and other world natural heritages, but also Tianshan Mountains. Tianchi, Kanas, Grape Valley, Nalati, Keketuohai, Jinhuyang, Bosten Lake and other national AAAAA-level tourist attractions are all fascinating. But if you want to choose one of the most representative scenic spots among many scenic spots, Yu Fan thinks that it must be the Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain. Why? Let's talk together.
The reputation of Tianshan Tianchi is loud enough, well-known domestically, and even has great influence internationally. It has too many international and national-level business cards, such as world natural heritage, national AAAAA-level tourist attractions, national geological Parks, National Key Scenic Areas, National Civilized Scenic Tourist Areas, International Human and Natural Biosphere Reserves, China's Best Tourist Destinations, China's Top Ten Scenic Areas with Best Resource Protection, China's Top Ten Charming Leisure Tourism Lakes... These business cards are all For example, the crown in the scenic area, any item is very outstanding, not to mention that it has collected all these high-end business cards in one go, and collected them all.
Tianshan Tianchi is located in Fukang City, Changji Prefecture, Xinjiang, adjacent to Urumqi and only 60 kilometers away from Diwopu International Airport. The transportation is very convenient. Tianchi is a natural lake located on the northern slope of Bogda Peak, with a total area of more than 500 square meters Square kilometers, which are subdivided into eight major scenic spots, 15 scenic spots, and 38 scenic spots. extremely strong.
Tianshan Tianchi is an important stop on the Tianchi Bohu line in the eighth season of our Daren Westward Journey, but the weather was not very good when we came. In the early morning, the sky was overcast and the visibility was not high. We had to temporarily choose to go to the side After lunch, when I came to Tianchi again, snowflakes flew up, the visibility was even lower, the lake surface was hazy, and the mountains were indistinct.
Although such a landscape has a unique charm, it is still far from the blue sky and white clouds we imagined, so it is somewhat regrettable. I thought that if the ice layer is thicker, we can go up to the lake to see if there is any ice. Cracks, the effect of shooting blue ice, but because the thickness of the ice layer is not enough, and there are many snowflakes falling, for safety reasons, we can only give up.
The Tianchi Lake in winter is different from other seasons. You can’t see the rippling lake water or the reflection of the snow-capped mountains, and the sports on the lake have basically stopped, but you can see another scene of ice and snow. If time permits, you can go along the Walk slowly along the wooden plank road by the lake to appreciate the style of Tianchi. The snow-capped mountain in the distance is Bogda Peak, the sacred mountain in the hearts of Xinjiang people. It looks very close, but it is actually far away.
Tianchi was not called Tianchi before, but was called "Yaochi" by people. It is the place where the Queen Mother of China and the West entertained King Mu of Zhou. According to the "Mu Tianzi Biography" in the pre-Qin period: Three thousand years ago, King Mu of Zhou admired the Queen Mother's fairyland for a long time, and came to the Western Regions on eight horses. Happy and happy, the emperor couldn't bear to leave when he parted, and made an appointment to revisit, but with the passage of time, there was no return figure of King Mu, and the melancholy Queen Mother of the West looked at a pool of clear water and sighed sadly. Li Shangyin, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem "Yaochi": the window of Yaochi's grandma opened, and the singing of yellow bamboo moved the ground to mourn. Ba Jun travels 30,000 miles a day, so why doesn't King Mu come back again? It is the story of the Queen Mother of the West and King Mu of Zhou.
As for the name of Tianchi, it can be said that Tong Mingliang, the capital of Urumqi in the Qing Dynasty, according to legend, from 1781 to 1783, there was a severe drought in Fukang County for three consecutive years, almost no crops were harvested, and people's lives were in trouble. At that time, Du Tongming Mingliang was a good official who cared about the people, and he was thinking about how to solve the water problem for the people, but he went to Bogda Peak to divert water, and finally found this fairy pond in the mountains, a pool of clear water Like a huge emerald embedded in the waist of Bogda Peak, Liang Liang couldn't help but be shocked by the beauty. After the canal was dug, he erected a stone tablet near the mouth of the canal to commemorate it. In the inscription, he left the sentence "Seeing the vastness of the Shenchi Lake like a sky mirror floating in the sky", taking one word from the two words "Tianjing and Shenchi", which is "Tianchi". The origin of the name.
Speaking of Tianchi, it is estimated that many people will think of another famous lake in the mountains of our country - Changbai Mountain Changchi. It is also a very famous lake. It is as famous as Tianshan Tianchi. There are many similarities. They are all alpine lakes at an altitude of about 2 kilometers, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and they will be frozen in winter. At the same time, they have their own characteristics. Changbai Mountain Tianchi is a lake formed by accumulated water in the crater, and Tianshan Tianchi is a typical barrier. Lake; Changbai Mountain Tianchi can only be seen from a distance, but Tianshan Tianchi can be walked to the lake to get close to it; wanting to see Changbai Mountain Tianchi requires fate, and some people may not be able to see it many times (Yufan went twice , and only saw it once), often dense fog, looming, mysterious, but Tianshan Tianchi does not exist in this situation, at most snow, fog, low visibility, but you can walk to the lake, close to it s contact.
Compared with Tianchi Tianchi in Tianshan Mountain and Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, it is difficult to say which one is more beautiful. At least in Yu Fan’s opinion, I like both Tianchi very much, but if I have to compare, I personally think Tianchi in Changbai Mountain is better. Why? Although Changbai Mountain Tianchi also has many great titles such as national AAAAA-level scenic spots, national nature reserves, and China's top ten famous mountains, but Changbai Mountain Tianchi has all the titles of Tianshan Tianchi, while Tianshan Tianchi has world natural heritage, Changbai Mountain Tianchi does not (Of course, it does not rule out that Changbai Mountain Tianchi will also be included in the world heritage in the future, but at least not yet). Friends, what do you think?
