Tourist attractions in Urumqi:

Tianshan Tianchi, Xinjiang

The towering Tianshan Mountain, known as the Tianchi Lake, spans more than 2,500 kilometers from east to west and 250 to 350 kilometers from north to south. It starts from the border between China and Kazakhstan in the west, reaches Xingxingxia Valley in the east, and stretches for 1700 km in China. The whole Tianshan mountain system consists of three series of mountains, which are called North Tianshan, Middle Tianshan and South Tianshan from north to south. Tianchi is located on the northern slope of Bogdo Mountain in the middle of North Tianshan Mountain. Bogdo Mountain faces west, and the mountain slopes gradually. More than 20 peaks above 5000 meters above sea level open the other side of Xinjiang, which is vast and far-reaching. Looking back at the east, the mountain is getting lower and lower. Suddenly, Bogda Peak stands steeply on the mountain at an altitude of 5445 meters. Together with the other two peaks with an altitude of 5287m and 5213m, they form the famous "Three Peaks in Xue Hai" and become the symbol of Xinjiang. Tianchi is also unusually high because of its sudden rise in height. In fact, its altitude is 1943 meters, which is strictly less than "halfway up the mountain". Dense forests, vast grasslands and numerous mountain systems ―― Tianshan Mountain, as the "cradle of life" in Xinjiang, occupies more than one third (more than 570,000 square kilometers) of Xinjiang. Its mountainous area consists of three parts: mountainous area, intermountain basin and piedmont plain.

Tianchi Scenic Area, centered on Tianchi, integrates forests, grasslands, snow-capped mountains and human landscapes, forming a unique landscape feature. It starts from Shimen in the north, snowline in the south, Maya Mountain in the west and Dadonggou in the east, with a total area of 160 square kilometers. Standing on a high place, looking from a distance, a green wave, one after another, is like a jade lamp held high by the giant hand of Yanshan Mountain, hanging high halfway up the mountain. The pines and cypresses along the coast are rugged and smoky; Surrounded by mountains, green grass and sheep strolling; There is also a Millennium ice peak, wrapped in silver, and the whole lake and mountains are beautiful.

Tianchi * * * has three water surfaces, besides the main lake, there are two water surfaces on the east and west sides. On the east is Tianchi Lake in Dong Xiao, which was called Black Dragon Pool in ancient times, and is located 500 meters east of Tianchi Lake. It is said that it is the place where the Queen Mother of the West bathes and washes her face, so it is also called "Wash and Wash Stream" and "Bath Fairy Basin". Under the pool is a cliff with a height of 100 feet, and the waterfall runs down like a rainbow from the sky, which is spectacular and helps to form a scene of "hanging springs and shining red". To the west is Xiao Xi Tianchi, also called Jade Girl Pool, which is said to be the place where the Queen Mother washes her feet, located two kilometers northwest of Tianchi. The small Tianchi lake in the west is like a full moon, with clear and deep water and surrounded by tassong. When the moon is in the sky, the static shadow sinks into the wall and the scenery is infinite, so it is also a beautiful day: "Longtan Blue Moon". There is also a waterfall hanging by the pool, tens of meters high, such as the Milky Way landing, spitting beads and splashing jade, which is called "jade belt and silver curtain". There is a Wentao Pavilion on the pool, so it's interesting to see the waterfall in the pavilion. Eyes can see, the curtain rolled over the pool, and the water was green; Ears can hear the sound of water hammer penetrating rocks and the sound of impact cracks.

Three kilometers west of Tianchi is Denggan Mountain, with an altitude of 27 18 meters and a length of 3 kilometers. Laojunmiao and Dongyue Temple were built here. At that time, the Taoist priest set up a pine pole on the top of the mountain and hung a sky lantern, which never went out day and night. At that time, Urumqi people used sky lanterns as a metaphor. As long as the light is long and bright, it means that the world is peaceful, so it is also called Taiping light. Overlooking Shanxi from the lamppost, you can have a panoramic view of Urumqi, especially when you turn on the light, you can see the lights of Urumqi from a distance, which is very fun.

Two kilometers southwest of Tianchi, there is Maya Mountain, which is 3056 meters above sea level and 5 kilometers long. The top of the mountain is covered with cliffs and boulders, shaped like a row of huge horse teeth, hence the name. Mayashan Stone Forest is a must in Tianchi Scenic Area. Under the erosion of the wind, those huge stones formed a unique Mayan landscape. Its stone halls are grotesque, with different shapes, or huge teeth like animal blood, or rolled up like waves. One of the stones looks like an ancient shepherd, wearing a felt hat and looking very safe. Walking into the stone forest will always make people daydream. On the top of Maya Mountain, looking at Tianchi in the north, it is full of splendid scenery; Looking east at Bogda, Xue Hai has a panoramic view of the three peaks; Looking at Urumqi in the west, Lushe Farm is vivid.

North slope of Datianchi tourist area 1. "Tianchi Shimen"

(The site is called "Shimen Line") 1783, Datong, nephew of Emperor Qianlong, dredged the Tianchi Canal. In the spring of the following year, the canal was cut off, "the mouth of the canal was tens of feet above the water", which was considered as "the canal here is useless for reclamation", so Emperor Qianlong ordered "to stop digging, and he repaid the goods with silver in the name of Yu". Later, the inscription came to light, and only the topic of "dredging the canal" was mentioned, but there was no mention in the inscription: the inscription of Lingshan Tianchi dredging the canal "The day of Fukang, the screen of Lingshan, the peaks are in the clouds, and there is Tianchi in the sky. It is said that this water is the residence of the dragon cave, which is covered with snow and frozen. People want to explore its victory, and they are blocked by wind and rain at the foot of the mountain. (1783) Yu Kun rode in from Nanshankou. The stream twists and turns, the mountain road turns back, the trees are shaded, the scenery is deep and beautiful, the rocks are over the valley, hovering between the pine clouds, and Can Cong (referring to the' Shu Road') is not reduced. " Du Liang said that this place is no less than the ancient mountain road of Shu Road, just below the present Shimen.

Shimen is a natural mountain pass that enters Tianchi Scenic Area. The width of both sides is about 100 meters, and the narrowest part is only 10 meters. Shimen is a canyon formed by river cutting, so it is also called "Stone Gorge". The stone wall is towering, tens of meters high and about 100 meters long. It is as clever as two open door panels. The stone is dark and cast like iron, also known as "tiemenguan". The Sangong River in Shimen crosses the river and the water turns around. The river is rushing, the waves are splashing, the cliffs are deep, and the valley is shocked by sound. There is a poem saying: "The Yaochi Gate of the towering stone gorge hangs on the cliff, which is naturally dangerous. It' s amazing, and it' s a line. "

2. "Fifty days"

(The place name is "Fifty Plates") "Inscription on Draining Channels in Lingshan Tianchi" continued: "Climb again and level off gradually." Guangming Pinggang is "another village" above Shimen. After crossing the Shimen, I feel that "another village with a bright future" starts from "another village", which is the Panshan Highway on the top of Tianchi, about 50 plates. There is a new Wentao Pavilion in the "fifty dishes" big bowl (the old pavilion "Waterfall Pavilion" has collapsed).

3. "Queen Mother Foot Pot"

(Also known as "West Little Tianchi", the scenery is named "Longtan Biyue") The inscription on the dredging canal of Lingshan Tianchi continued: "The person who hears the sound of water gurgling and the splash is thinner than the rock breaking is called Xiaolongtan. The pool is dark blue and the source is long, but the flow is small enough to occupy irrigation near the country. " The "Little Longtan" here is the "Queen Mother's Foot Pot", which is located at the lower right of the third set of "Fifty Days" at an altitude of 1.660 meters. It seeps into the pool from the Tianchi ground, and looks like jade juice, like the cold body of the Queen Mother, and is called "the foot basin of the Queen Mother". Tasong by the pool is beautiful, covered with green, reflected in the lake, and the ink is deep; At night, the blue moon is in the sky, the static shadow sinks into the wall, the moon shadow quivers slightly, and it becomes interesting with the blue waves, and there is a poem saying:

"A rainbow flows into Longtan, and the pine snow is embedded in the green plate.

Gui Yue sank to the bottom of the golden autumn wall, and it was suspected that Chang 'e was out of the cold. "

"Ice Pool Screen" (named "Xiao Xi Tianchi Waterfall")

Not far from Xixiaotianchi, the waterfall on the right side of the road is "Xixiaotianchi Waterfall". The waterfall is in the air, and the curtain is tens of meters, just like a roll of hanging silver curtain. Behind the screen, the beautiful image of the queen mother is looming.

4. "Xiao Xi Tianchi Waterfall"

Legend has it that "the queen mother's bath water", when it falls, becomes "the West Little Tianchi Lake". Opposite the "West Little Tianchi Waterfall", a "Waterfall Pavilion" with a hexagonal spire was built in Guangxu period, which was destroyed in one fell swoop, but it was proved by Wang Shunan's poems:

"Half pavilion waterfall hangs Yao Hong, and Wan Ren is decorated with jade dragon.

Qinglan breaks the bridge cage and weakens the willows, while wild waves and deep streams surround the cold pines.

Hong Bo pours into the sea, and the fairy palm rises to the peak of the snow.

Talking to my son about the mountain after midnight, I suddenly heard the bell of Yun Shenchu. "

Now the "Wen Tao Pavilion" has been rebuilt in the original site: octagonal, with two floors, red columns and yellow glazed tiles, which is also very imposing.

5. "Liquan hides milk"

(The place name is "the source of Xixiaotianchi Waterfall")

The source of Xiao Xi Tianchi Waterfall is Liquan Cave. Here, it looks like a cave, but it is hidden and difficult to find, also known as the "hidden breast cave". Spring water gushes from the ground, pure and sweet, and it is said to be "the ritual spring of the Queen Mother". Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty (about 65438 BC+045-86 BC) wrote in Historical Records 123: "In this century, the mountains and rivers are Kunlun. Kunlun Mountain is more than 2,500 miles high, with the sun and the moon hidden as light, and there are Liquan and Yaochi on it. "It says here that' Kunlun is more than 2,500 li high' (in ancient times, it was 0.75 li today), that is, the height of Kunlun is about 937,500 meters, which is about 106 times that of Mount Everest (8848 meters above sea level). It can be seen that Kunlun is the highest mountain in the eyes of the Chinese nation. With the improvement of people's understanding, the "Kunlun" refers to the mountain.

6. "Fairy Pool"

(Place name is "Dong Xiao Tianchi")

Tianchi, Dong Xiao, is located half a kilometer to the left of the last dish of Fifty Disks, hundreds of meters away from Fiona Fang, with an altitude of1860m. The environment here is quiet and the water is clear. It used to be the "fairy swimming pool in the sky", but later it was occupied by the black dragon, so it was also called "Black Dragon Pool". The water in the pool is green and unpredictable. The Zhou Songbai in the pool is dense and the clear spring is gloomy, which is frightening and creepy. It is still in the deep water area. Therefore, Ji Xiaolan wrote a poem saying:

"The reflection of Chaos Mountain is blue and heavy, and it is as deep as miles.

A heavy cow responded to the rain and the water continued to this day. "

7. Hanging Springs and Waterfalls

(The place name is "Dong Xiao Tianchi Xieshui Waterfall")

The cliff on the north bank of Tianchi Lake in Dong Xiao is nearly 100 meters high, so it is called "100-meter cliff". In late spring and early summer, the ice and snow melted, and the pool water rose, leaking from the north bank, forming a waterfall nearly 100 meters high, and the silver jade splashed down, and the sound of water thundered; If the sun refracts, the color training will be sky-high, the weather will be full, and there will be poems:

"The Pearl Spring is hanging in the air, and the silver chain is foggy.

Smoke and water are floating in the air, and Changhong is flying in the green hills. "

8. "Crocodile spits beads"

(The place name is "Tianchiyuan Waterfall in Dong Xiao")

Cross the hill to the south of Dongxiao Tianchi and reach the north bank of Datianchi. The north bank of Tianchi is a huge natural dam, which is made up of the last moraine of ancient glaciers and the collapse of mountains, with a height of 289 meters. The whole dam looks like a crocodile tail, so it is called "crocodile fish dam". There is an artificial sluice in the east of the dam, which is called "crocodile sluice". The water in Tianchi flows downwards, forming a waterfall with a height of 10, which is called "crocodile spits pearls". The water splashed on the "Black Dragon Canyon" and merged into a mountain stream, forming a pool not far from the north, namely Dong Xiao Tianchi. "Crocodile spits beads", "Ice Pool Screen" and "Hanging Spring Waterfall" are collectively called "Tianchi Three Waterfalls".

Datianchi tourist area 1. Sky mirror floating

(that is, Tianchi)

After passing the West Small Tianchi Lake, Guangming continued to write: "From then on (referring to" West Small Tianchi Lake "), he climbed several layers of Chongling Mountain and reached the top of the mountain (referring to" Crocodile Fish Dam "). Seeing the vast Shenchi, like a mirror in the sky floating in the air, the sky is full of clouds. The Austrian region of creation is also! " The lake in the Great Tianchi Lake is said to be "the queen mother's toilet mirror". The "Celestial Mirror" is half-moon-shaped, with an altitude of 19 10 meters. It looks like a gourd, with its head in the south and its body in the north. Sangong River in the southern section is a gourd handle. Tianchi is 3.4 kilometers long from north to south, with the widest point 1.5 kilometers, the average width 1 kilometer and the lake circumference of 9.7 kilometers. Maximum lake depth 102m (located in the northeast), with an average lake depth of 40m. The maximum area of the lake is 4.9 square kilometers, generally 3.5 square kilometers. The maximum water capacity is 200 million tons, generally 65.438+600 million tons; The lake is cold and clear, and there are farmed cold water scaleless fish.

2. "Zhenhai Ancient Elm"

(also known as "Dinghai Shenzhen")

On the crocodile dam, look back at the lake from the "Great Tianchi Lake". You can see a lonely tree, which is the famous ancient elm in Zhenhai. This ancient elm tree on the north bank of Tianchi Lake is said to be the deity of the Queen Mother of the West. Legend has it that the Queen Mother held a flat peach party in Yaochi, and all the immortals were invited to dinner, but the monsters in Yaochi were not invited, so they stirred up the demons and turned the pool upside down, making it impossible for the flat peach party to drink and sing. In a rage, the Queen Mother of the West conveniently pulled out a treasure hairpin from her head and inserted it in the north bank of Yaochi to lock the monster and calm the raging waves. Later, an elm tree grew where the hairpin was inserted. In fact, this ancient elm tree is the descendant of an elm tree suitable for hydrological soil on the north bank of Tianchi Lake, which was planted by later generations or the Queen Mother of the West to commemorate the locust tree planted by Mu. This ancient elm tree, which grows at an altitude of 19 10 meters, is the only long elm tree with a crown as big as an umbrella. It looks like an emperor's golden canopy and stands aloof facing the sea. The special natural environment adds a lot of color to this unique ancient elm tree. Even in rainy years, if the lake rises again, it can only reach its roots. For a long time, people have always regarded the distance from the roots of ancient elms to the lake as the north-south direction. The nine curves of the dragon ridge show nine undulating slow peaks, and the dragon claw on the west side of the dragon ridge becomes five branches and extends into the pool.

3. Pretty Girls on the East Coast

Legend has it that whenever the sun goes down, there is a girl tryst with Wolong on the east coast. Coincidentally, whenever the sun goes down, the afterglow of the setting sun will outline the silhouette of a girl lying on her back with her legs bent. Her head rests on a high mountain, her long eyelashes turn into a few pine trees on the mountain, and her plump breasts turn into two rounded and uplifted peaks, which are dreamy and charming. To see this scene, you need accommodation or a chartered car.

4. "West Coast Crocodile"

Changling Mountain on the west bank of Tianchi Lake is said to have been changed by a crocodile, hence the name "Crocodile Mountain". Crocodiles have their heads facing south and their bodies facing north. The crocodile's back rises in an arc with a slow peak. The crocodile's foot stuck in the lake. The crocodile's tail is the aforementioned "crocodile dam".

5. "Nanhu Huanglong"

In Bogda mountain area, there is a lot of precipitation in summer, which often splashes into Tianchi Lake. Area of the upper reaches of Sangong River 168 km2. Whenever it rains heavily, the river rushes northward, and the Yellow River floods are mighty. Looking from the north and south of the pool, it is like a yellow dragon entering the pool, which makes the pool churn endlessly. The waves are long, the sound of the waves is like thunder, and it is fanned out, like "complacent". To see this scene, you need accommodation or a chartered car.

6. "Dayuan Reflection"

The southwest of Datianchi Lake, that is, "Dawanzi", is calm and the peak forest reflects the lake, which is a good place to watch the reflection. When you look at the reflection in Dawanzi, you must grasp the time. Mountain breeze blows during the day and at night. The ventilation time is usually nine or ten o'clock every morning. At this time, Tianchi is calm and picturesque, and this scene is successful. To see this scene, you need to stay or charter a car.

7. "Sailing in Yaochi"

On the south bank of Tianchi, there is a Song Sea. In summer, there is no way to transport dead wood from south to north, so we have to bundle the wood into rows and put it down the river in the pool. At this time, it is necessary to raise the sail a little. The best time to release the raft is when the wind blows downhill at night, and when it breaks the waves, it will arrive instantly, lighting small lights on the sail, one for lighting navigation and one for praying for good luck. Put the carpenter in the platoon and steer the boat. At this time, people go to the bird's nest, the mountains sleep in the forest, and everything is silent.

Niangniangmiao tourist area

As soon as we arrive at the Tianchi Lake, there is a road extending eastward on the left. Walk along this road for a few hundred meters, and you will see a pier. From here, walk south along the path on the east bank of the Great Tianchi Lake for half an hour, and you can reach the Niangniang Temple tourist area.

1. "The Road of Buddhism"

On the way from the north bank of Tianchi to the tourist area of Niangniang Temple along the path on the east bank of Datianchi, there is a very dangerous road on the left, and few people have set foot on it. This road also leads to Niangniang Temple. It is said that this route was opened by Dharma.

2. "West Queen Mother Temple"

(also known as "Niangniang Temple")

Taoism regards the queen mother as the wife of the jade emperor, so it is called the queen mother. According to historical records, the Niangniang Temple was built on a grand scale, and the incense was flourishing. 1932 was destroyed by war. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Chinese at home and abroad were inspired by the Queen Mother of the West for many times, so people came to the northwest of China to look for a fairyland in their dreams. When they came to Tianchi, they found that the scenery in Tianchi was very similar to that in their dreams.

1990165438+1on October 29th, a group of 2 19 people from Taiwan Province province made a special trip to worship in Tianchi. Since then, there has been an endless stream of "pilgrimage groups of the Queen Mother of the West" at home and abroad. 1992, Taiwan Province Taoist "Cihuitang" built this temple on the site of the former Niangniang Temple. There is a full-length portrait of the Queen Mother and some relics of the original Niangniang Temple, such as ancient clocks, tiles and murals.

3. Living in the Fairy Cave

Juxian Ancient Cave is located 50 meters to the right of Xiwangmu Temple, which is said to be the place where immortals live. The murals in the cave are still discernible.

4. "Dharma Zen Cave"

Dharma Zen Cave is on the upper right of Juxian Ancient Cave.

5. "Guanyin Pavilion Site" Guanyin Pavilion Site is above Fachan Cave. The building age is unknown. There were two Taoist priests who were destroyed in the late Republic of China.

6. Huixian Platform

Hui Sendai is on the edge of Tianchi Lake in front of the West Queen Mother Temple on the left, and now it is a flat circular grassland.

7. "Lao Zi's Old Cave"

Historical Records Volume 63 Cloud:

"Lao tze wrote a book from top to bottom, about more than five thousand words of morality. (Going out to Hanguguan in the west), I don't know what it is. " According to legend, Lao Tzu came to the "West Queen Mother Mountain"

I swam in Tianchi with the Queen Mother of the West, and almost broke the precept, so I practiced further on the east bank of Tianchi, now the "Old Cave of Laozi".

8. Guan fo guang ge

(also known as "sea pavilion")

The Buddha Pavilion is located near the pool on the east bank of Tianchi Lake. Few people come here, and it is very quiet. At sunrise, if the sky is covered with broken clouds, there will be Buddha's light flashing over the Queen Mother Temple. I don't know why, but I think this is "the peak of dawn at sea" and I wrote a poem saying:

"The clouds around Wan Ren covered the fog, and the scenery at dawn was new.

Tianchi Scenic Area is full of colorful chardonnay. The best food is roast whole sheep, which is called "bartender Kawaf" in Uygur language and is the most famous dish in Xinjiang. If you don't want to be so extravagant, you can also eat mutton buns. The aquatic plants in Xinjiang are fertile and the environment and climate are suitable for the growth of sheep, so the mutton produced here is of good quality. But pay attention to drink more tea to get greasy.

If you want something simple, you can eat another famous traditional snack-latiao.

The light calls for the sunrise, and Bofeng laughs at the scenery. "
