With the slight dew of the morning sun, we embarked on the first journey in Xinjiang - Tianshan Tianchi. Tianshan Tianchi is about 100 kilometers away from Urumqi, why do we have to get up early? Corresponding to the work and rest time of Xinjiang people, it should be 5 o'clock in the morning. Although puzzled, our group actively cooperated with the tour guide and driver.
As soon as we left the urban area of Urumqi, our car stopped on the side of the road along with the vehicles in front. Then move forward a few meters every two or three minutes, and when we arrived at the security checkpoint with eye-catching signboards, nearly half an hour had passed; and when the car entered Fukang County, such copying was delayed for another half an hour; In the waiting hall of the scenic spot, we queued up to buy tickets and checked in order, and another hour was lost.
When I took this photo at the gate of the scenic spot, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning.
Perhaps tour guides and drivers take such security checks as commonplace, and the few words before departure are hard for us mainland tourists to pay attention to. It was the initial experience of this Xinjiang tour that seemed to make me realize something: the safety and peace of Xinjiang may be guaranteed by this strict "security check". Thinking of this, the doubts in my heart were relieved one by one.
As we walked forward, the snowy peaks, mountains and trees in the distance gradually came into view.
I have been to Changbai Mountain Tianchi in summer, and I only felt its vastness and its blue water; but at this moment, what I saw in front of my eyes were silver-clad mountains, lush trees, and crystal green lake water. From the perspective of the combination of color elements alone, this place is definitely superior.
We rushed to Tianchi Lake with many tourists, watching and looking for the different characteristics of this mountain lake.
Tianshan Tianchi was called "Yaochi" in ancient times. It was named after the legend that it was the place where the Queen Mother bathed. It is located in Fukang County, Xinjiang, on the northern slope of Bogda Peak. It is a typical mountain-type natural landscape centered on alpine lakes. Although the elevation, width, and depth of the Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountains are not as high as those in Changbai Mountain, the lake is surrounded by spruce trees and the snow-capped peaks are shining, which is not as good as the latter. Of course, this is in the summer season, and it is another matter if it is placed in winter.
Standing by the lake, looking far away, the snow-capped peaks on the ocher-red mountains, under the sunshine, overlooking the crystal clear lake water, is truly spectacular. Looking at the lake again, the cruise ship wanders leisurely, and the small boat gallops and leaps, injecting the fresh vitality of the times into the picturesque Tianchi Lake, which is surrounded by snow-capped spruces and surrounded by clear water.
Such beautiful scenery, such an atmosphere, how can visitors not linger! look! In order to make their footprints deeper, some tourists rented Uighur costumes at the scenic spot, and printed their images vividly beside the Tianchi Lake.
People are in the scene, and their feelings are developed according to the situation. Walking on the plank road by the lake, the idea flashes from time to time: so many tourists come to watch scenic spots like Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountains. After all, it is due to the stability of public security and social stability in Xinjiang. Tourists let their mood fly in such a beautiful artistic conception, how can they care about the strict and cumbersome security checks during the journey!
