"Snow clouds in Tianshan Mountains do not always open, and thousands of peaks and mountains are covered with snow and Cuiwei." Tianshan Mountain is not only one of the top ten famous mountains in my country, but also a world-renowned natural heritage in the world. It is a sacred mountain in the eyes of Chinese people. With the sun and the moon, even the famous poet Li Bai has a poem saying "the bright moon rises from the Tianshan Mountains, between the vast sea of clouds". Many Chinese myths, even martial arts fantasy, Tianshan Mountains are all extremely sacred places.
The Tianshan Mountains are very large, spanning China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan from east to west, with a total length of about 2,500 kilometers. More than one square kilometer, accounting for about one-third of the total area of Xinjiang, there are a lot of beautiful landscapes along the route, which is fascinating.
Among the many landscapes along the Tianshan Mountains, Tianchi Lake is definitely the most famous scenic spot. It is not only a world natural heritage, but also a national 5A-level tourist attraction and a national geological park. It has the reputation of a fairyland in the world, so it has become a tourist card of Xinjiang, and it is worthy of the name.
In view of this, the Tianchi Lake in the Tianshan Mountains has naturally become an extremely important stop in our journey to the west. However, the Tianchi Lake in this season has long been frozen by ice and snow. covered by heavy fog), but from a distance, it is a vast expanse of whiteness, without the aura of rippling blue waves, which is somewhat regrettable.
However, this kind of regret did not stay in our hearts for long, and was quickly diluted by the surprise brought to us by a trail next to it. This trail is the Qianlongyuan Trail under Tianchi Lake.
Qianlongyuan Trail is the most classic trail in Tianchi Lake of Tianshan Mountain, and it is the most beautiful scenery hidden in the folds of the mountains. There are clear springs flowing along the trail, and moss dripping green. Flying beads splash jade, leaving a gurgling spring, which is picturesque.
Qianlongyuan Trail is located 100 meters down from the ticket office of Tianshan Tianchi Old Tourist Service Center, where there is the entrance of Qianlongyuan Trail and related guide map introductions. The ancient trees here are towering, and the winding paths lead to secluded places. Stepping into them, the mountain springs are rushing, and the negative oxygen ions are tangy.
According to the information, the Qianlongyuan trail is 2 kilometers long and has a drop of 800 meters. Under normal circumstances, it takes about an hour to hike the whole way. However, because the scenery is so beautiful, it can be said that we can change scenery at every step. We walked for two and a half hours.
The ancient trees along the way are towering, and they are decorated with ice and snow. Although Tianchi has been frozen, the snow water flowing down from Bogda Peak forms a stream here. The ice crystals form an interesting contrast, every movement and stillness complement each other.
If there is no follow-up itinerary, this two-kilometer trail can be played for at least half a day. Although there is no tripod, we still use various natural elements that can be used to take pictures of many picturesque slow door waterfalls, and These waterfalls have crystal clear ice crystals and verdant moss, which are far superior to ordinary waterscapes. They add endless charm to the frozen Tianchi Lake, just like a stunning poem and painting, coupled with intoxicating sounds of nature, It makes people sigh, this scene should only exist in the sky, how often do you see it in the world?
