Tianchi Lake is 1910 meters above sea level, with the deepest point reaching 105 meters. The lake reflects Bogda Peak and is surrounded by spruce trees. The scenery is like a fairyland. The scenic area includes natural landscapes such as mountain lakes, wetland meadows, and forest canyons.

There are three water surfaces in Tianchi Scenic Area. In addition to the main lake, there are two water surfaces on the east and west sides. On the east side is the "East Small Tianchi", also known as the Black Dragon Pool, located 500 meters east of the Tianchi. Under the pool is a 100-foot cliff with a waterfall flying down like a rainbow. The scenic spot is called "Xuanquan Yaohong".
