Scenic spots worth visiting in Xinjiang → Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain

Brief introduction of Tianshan Tianchi

Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain is a beautiful alpine lake, known as the "cornucopia". It is an alpine dammed lake formed by ancient glacial debris flow blocking the river. Different from Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, it was formed by accumulated water in the crater. . Tianchi was called "Yaochi" in ancient times. According to legend, more than 3,000 years ago, Mu (a native of Zhou Muwang) sang a song with the Western Empress Dowager at the Tianchi Lake, leaving an ancient story. Up to now, there is also a Queen's Temple near Tianchi, dedicated to the Queen Mother of the West. It is also called Tianchi in Niangniang Temple. The lake is crystal clear, the jade is crystal clear, and the clear water is like a mirror, reflecting the snowy peaks and picturesque. Surrounded by mountains, green grass, bright green spruce, tassel pine and other wild flowers, surrounded by mountains, covered by the sky. Before I went to Xinjiang, I had only a superficial impression.

Xinjiang is known as the hometown of melons and fruits. In Xinjiang, eating fruit is a pleasant thing, but don't drink hot tea after eating fruit to avoid diarrhea.
