Is the Yamarik Mountain scenic spot in Urumqi good?

Yamali Mountain Scenic Spot in Urumqi belongs to Qixia Mountain Scenic Spot in Urumqi.

Yamarik Mountain Scenic Area is a national AAA-level scenic spot. Yamarik Mountain, also known as Yaoshan Mountain, is located in the west of Urumqi, showing a north-south trend. The main peak, Qingnian Peak, is at an altitude of 139 1 m, which was formed by deep-sea lake deposition in the late Permian.

The circumference of the outer edge of Yaoshan Mountain is about 16 km, and the surface area of the mountain is about 40 square kilometers. Geographically, it is located in the southern margin of Zhungeer Basin and belongs to desert area. The strong dry and hot climate left a deep impression here. It is humid in spring and autumn, dry in summer, abundant in heat and long and cold in winter. Therefore, Magic Mountain is also called Fushou Mountain and Lingying Mountain. Every year, government officials, workers and students in this city go to the mountains to participate in voluntary tree planting. The sewage treatment plant also uses urban sewage as irrigatable water to irrigate all kinds of trees on the mountain. The ecological environment has been improved, and many animals and birds that have not been seen for many years have come here to settle down. It has become a good place for tourists to go hiking in spring and cool off in summer.

In the Qing Dynasty, the soldiers and civilians who built dams in the wasteland built a Bala Temple in Spider Mountain at the tail of Yaoshan Mountain, praying for good luck and well-being, and the incense continued year after year.
