A concrete overview of Dongdatang scenic spot

Dongdatang Scenic Area is located in the depths of Tianshan Mountain, adjacent to the northern foot of Gashan Mountain in Khabir, adjacent to Shihezi in the east, more than 70 kilometers away from Shihezi City and Shawan County, and facing the "Mongolian Temple" tourist area across the mountain in the east. In 2005, it was rated as a national A-level tourist attraction.

Dongdatang Scenic Area is divided into three areas: east, south and west. It is composed of three completely different scenic spots, and it is a comprehensive scenic spot that can meet a variety of sightseeing needs.

To the south of the scenic spot is the famous Baili Glacier, commonly known as "Snow Waterlogging Dam". The mountains here stretch, the peaks are snowy and chilly. There are rivers in the mountains and clear water gurgling.

The east of the scenic spot is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the southeast is full of spruce and lush. You can reach the top of the mountain along the rugged path in the dense pine forest in the south. On the top are rolling green grasslands with scattered clouds. There are hundreds of meters of waterfalls at the cliff head, and the deep pools at the bottom of the ditch are choppy, with white fog and thunder. Under the forest beside the ditch, strange rocks are abrupt, the water is fast, and pearls and jade splash. There is a cool breeze at the source of the waterfall at the top of the mountain, and the scenery under your feet is panoramic.

Between low hills and hills, willow, birch, poplar, pine and wildflower grassland are mixed together, forming a special hilly grassland. Driving from the bottom of the ditch, you will enter the large-scale natural temperate botanical garden in the mountains, including the natural wildlife reserve at the autonomous region level, where there are 17 kinds of second-class protected animals such as red deer, goose throat antelope, argali and brown bear. When tourists come here, they all find the scenery strange and interesting. Crossing the mountains, my eyes suddenly became clear: the mountains are continuous and the trees are lush; On the vast foothills and plains, horses are galloping and camels are pacing leisurely.

The reception facilities in the scenic spot are complete, the Kazakh felt houses are luxuriously arranged, and the catering and accommodation conditions are superior, which can provide services for more than 600 people at the same time.

Mongolian Temple, commonly known as "Dazi Temple", is located in the southern mountain area of Shawan County, facing the tourist resort Shuigou across the mountain, 87 kilometers north of the county seat, with an altitude of 19 18 meters.

Mongolian Temple is called "Buddhist Temple" by Mongolian people themselves. According to historical records, the Ming Dynasty belonged to the territory of Mongolian Weilat tribe. According to folklore and the introduction of "Lulai County Records", this Mongolian temple was built in the late Ming Dynasty. Because of its lush spruce and beautiful aquatic plants, it is an excellent natural pasture, which is regarded as a "blessed land" by Mongolian herdsmen of Weilat tribe, thus becoming a place for Mongolian herders to gather, worship heaven, pray for God and pray for blessings.

At present, the temple buildings have long since disappeared, and only the footwall of the original site still exists, which is the only symbol of Mongolian temples.
