Introduction of scenic spots in Xinjiang

Introduction of scenic spots in Xinjiang

Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, called Xin for short, is located in the northwest border of China, with Urumqi as the capital, and is one of the five minority autonomous regions in China. Welcome to the scenic spots!

Tianshan Tianchi, known as the Pearl of Tianshan Mountain, is a natural alpine lake. Located at the lower mountainside of Bogda Peak in the east of North Tianshan Mountain, with an altitude of1980m. The lake is half-moon-shaped, 3400 meters long, about 1.500 meters at its widest point, and covers an area of 4.9 square kilometers. This lake is several meters to 105 meters deep. The lake is as clear as jade. Surrounded by mountains, green grass and wild flowers are everywhere. Tall and green spruce and pine trees cover the mountains and the sun. Southeast of Tianchi is the majestic Bogda main peak (Bogda Mongolian, meaning Lingshan and Shengshan), with an altitude of 5445 meters. There are two shoulder peaks around the main peak. Looking from a distance, three peaks rise together and suddenly insert clouds, like a pen container. The glacier snow on the peak is shining with silver light, and the lake in Tianchi is blue and bright, which constitutes the beautiful natural landscape of this alpine Pinghu.

It belongs to Tianchi moraine lake. Earth scientists believe that since the Quaternary, the global climate has experienced many violent cold and warm movements. As early as 200 thousand years ago, the climate in the United States turned cold for the third time and the ice age came. Spectacular valley glaciers have developed in Tianchi area. Glaciers slowly descend along the valley with gravel, which strongly smoothes the ice bed and digs the valley, forming various ice erosion landforms. Tianchi Valley has become a huge ice chamber, the front end of its glacier tongue has been squeezed and melted, and the debris and boulders it carries have gradually stopped accumulating, becoming the last moraine in the valley. After that, the climate warms, glaciers recede, and water is stored here to form lakes. Today is Tianchi Lake in the southern Tianshan Mountains. According to historical records, from Song Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, Tianchi once had the names of Ice Pool, Qin Long, Longtan and Shenchi, but there are few records about the true face of Tianchi in history books. In fact, it was difficult for ancient people to reach Tianchi.

In feudal times, I really went to Tianchi. The first name of Tianchi was Liang Ming, minister of Urumqi 200 years ago. In the forty-eighth year of Qingganlong (1783), he led a rider to climb Bogda Mountain, found Tianchi Lake, dug a water outlet, and diverted water down the mountain to irrigate farmland. In the year of Inscription of Dredging Canal in Lingshan Tianchi, he named the lake after the word Tianchi, which is like a celestial mirror floating in the sky. It is said that in the future, some dignitaries and rich people who worship Lingshan and Tianchi will build eight temples near Tianchi, such as Fushou Temple, Wang Mu Temple, Wuji Temple and Zhenren Temple, for mountain people to burn incense and worship Buddha. Regrettably, the remains of these ancient temples have been destroyed one by one, and the Ming tablet of the Qing minister can't be found. Now people can only see some general information from historical materials. In the past, because of the high mountains and dangerous roads, only those who are bold and cautious and skilled in riding can explore Tianchi.

Since 1950s, China People's Government has specially allocated funds to build Panshan Highway leading to Tianchi, and built unique tourist facilities such as pavilions, waterside pavilions and hotels along the lake, making this famous tourist attraction open to Chinese and foreign tourists. 1982, the State Council listed Tianshan Tianchi as the first batch of national key scenic spots. It is 90 kilometers away from Urumqi. Tourists get on the bus from Urumqi in the morning, drive eastward for two hours, and then enter the mountain pass. The bus circled on the mountainside avenue, and the roadside was full of cliffs and rugged rocks. Sometimes it winds in the forest, singing birds and flowers. Until over the mountains and valleys, a small round pool in Fiona Fang with tens of meters appeared on the right side of the road, which was beautiful and exquisite. On the edge of the pool, a waterfall flew a few feet high, throwing pearls and splashing jade. This place is called Xiaotianchi. Circling up the mountain and climbing up the broad ridge, Tianchi is in front of you. At this time, tourists will sigh the beauty of lakes and mountains. Here, people can enjoy the gifts of nature. You can climb mountains together, wear dense forests, climb to the top of the mountain and overlook the panoramic view of Tianchi. You can also take a yacht, surf and taste the plateau customs outside the sea race. You can also come to the small restaurant building by the pool, drink wine by the window, enjoy the mountains and water in the distance, draw pictures and write poems, and pour out your intoxication. Over the years, it has aroused waves in the hearts of many poets and painters. 197 1 September, Guo Moruo visited Tianchi and improvised this vivid poem:

Visit Riga, recall the past,

The scenery here is better than before.

Singing and dancing at the water's edge to welcome guests,

A new chapter is waiting in the clouds.

The bottom of the inkstone is full of thick ink.

The length of wood is the nib.

I like to eat double roe deer this morning.

Banquet helps the spirit, and wine is like a spring.

Tianchi is not only a summer resort that receives Chinese and foreign tourists every summer, but also an ideal alpine skating rink in winter. Whenever the lake freezes, ice athletes from Xinjiang or other provinces gather here. On the wide lake, they bathed in bright sunshine and fresh air for skating training and competition. The mountains around Tianchi Lake are also rich in Bai Bao mountain resources. There are fat cattle and sheep pastures, Dingding forest farm for logging and deer park for artificial breeding. Snow lotus and snow chicken grow on the snow line, roe deer are infested in the pine forest, mushrooms are everywhere, and medicinal materials such as Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus membranaceus and Fritillaria are also available. There are rare birds and animals in the valley, fish and water birds in the lake, modern glaciers on the peak and minerals such as copper, iron and mica buried under the mountain. Tianchi area is rich in resources and unique in natural landscape, which is more attractive to biology, geology and geography workers who are keen on field trips. Tianchi is indeed an indispensable place for Xinjiang tourists.

Longtan biyue

Longtan refers to Xiaoxi Tianchi Lake, located on the west side of Panshan Highway, about 2 kilometers away from Tianchi Lake, with an altitude of 1.660 meters. Legend has it that this is the footbath used by the Queen Mother of the West. In fact, the spring water of Tianchi is leaked from the thick ice cream in the underground dam, forming a deep pool at the low-lying place where the mountain mouth meets. Zhou Tasong's pool is full of beautiful scenery and green mountains. Night arrival, the bright moon is in the sky, the peaks are shaded by green trees, and the blue moon is reflected in the pool. The still shadow sank into the wall, and the shadow of the moon trembled slightly. There is a poem that a blue lake flows into Longtan, pine and snow are inlaid with green plates, and Gui Yue sinks to the bottom of the autumn wall. Some people suspect that he often has a bad cold.

Nanshan wangxue

Standing on the moraine dam in Tianchi, tourists look south at Bogda Snow Mountain, but they see snow in the distance, pine and cypress in the vicinity, wild flowers like brocade, green and red. Lakes and mountains, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Seeing this beautiful scenery is as fascinating as being in a fairyland.

Key seat

Legend has it that there is a monster in Tianchi, who often throws things around to make waves. The restless Tianchi Waterfall flooded the surrounding residents, making people homeless and wandering around. One year, the Queen Mother held a grand flat peach party in the Heavenly Palace. I entertained all kinds of immortals at the meeting, but forgot to invite this Tianchi monster. The monster is unhappy. He was angry. In an instant, the turbid waves were monstrous and the floods were raging. The heavenly soldiers told the Queen Mother, who was furious and immediately took a Hosta from her head and threw it into the water. Suddenly, it was calm and the stone receded. Then Hosta became an elm. Since then, it has grown on the edge of Tianchi Lake and become a treasure of Zhenshui. This elm tree was transformed from the Hosta on the Queen Mother's head and named Dinghai Shenzhen quilt.

Xishan Jinsong

The west side of Tianchi Mountain is relatively gentle and located on the shady slope. The slope composed of moraine and debris flow deposits is loose and has good water storage conditions, which is especially suitable for tree growth. Here, the spruce forest is the most suitable place to travel. There are mountains and peaks, and the shade blocks the sun. Xishan pine is pleasing to the eye and refreshing.

The morning sun

Watching the sunrise in Tianchi in the morning is more interesting than watching the sunrise in Taishan. In the early morning, the ice peaks and fir forests in Tianshan Mountain blend with colorful lakes, making people feel like they are in a fairyland. There is a poem that the clouds around Wan Ren covered the fog, and the first light of dawn showed a new landscape. Caixia calls for sunrise, and Bofeng smiles at the scenery.

Hanging waterfall

There is an artificial sluice on the glacier dike in the northeast of the lower reaches of Tianchi Lake, which releases water to form a waterfall. Waterfalls pour into the rocky mountain rapids, white practice hangs in the air, and the valley is shocked by sound. The waterfall flows from Bitan Lake at the bottom of the valley and is called Dong Xiao Tianchi. The environment here is terrible.

Kanas River is the main river in nature reserve, which runs through the whole territory from northeast to southwest and flows into Brzin River. Due to the intense erosion of glaciers, Lake Akkule and Lake Kanas, which are widened and deepened by alpine rivers, are like two huge mirrors embedded in the center of Kanas Nature Reserve in the form of beads. They belong to alpine freshwater lakes.

Kanas Lake is like a crescent moon, with a length of 24 kilometers from north to south, a width of 1.6 ~ 2.9 kilometers from east to west and an area of 44.78 square kilometers. It is 10 times larger than the famous Bogda Tianchi Lake, and the maximum lake depth is 188.5 meters. Except the Tianchi Lake in Baitoushan (the deepest one is 3 12.7m) on the border between China and North Korea, it is the deepest lake in China.

Kanas Lake is surrounded by mountains, the top of which is covered with silver, with dense forests and lush grasslands. The hillside is green and the lake is rippling. The mountains are reflected in the lake, making the blue sky, white clouds, snow mountains, green mountains and green waters blend together. The lakes and mountains are beautiful. The vertical band spectrum here is obvious, the top of the mountain is covered with silver, and the modern glaciers are magnificent. Glacier area and ice reserves in this area account for 74.46% and 70.08% of the whole Altai Mountain, respectively. On the mountainside and foothills, Tagalog in Siberia was lush and green with flowers.

Kanas Lake always changes color with seasons and weather: blue, green, dark green or gray. Sometimes, it is a famous color-changing lake with both colors and shadows. The driftwood poured into Kanas Lake will float against the current under the strong valley wind, and pile up into a kilometer-long embankment in Shangyou Lake Bay of the lake, which is a great wonder of Kanas Lake.

Kanas is an alpine mountain area with a long winter and no summer. Spring and autumn are connected. The average temperature in July is 15.9, the frost-free period is 80~ 108 days, and the average annual precipitation is 1065.4 mm. The air is cool, which is very suitable for the growth of cold temperate trees. This is the area with the most species of cold temperate plants in China. Tall and straight larch, tower-shaped spruce, vigorous five-needle pine, beautiful fir, graceful Populus davidiana and birch constitute the main body of vegetation. The forest coverage rate in the north of the whole region is 19.4%, and the forest is even higher than 82% of the forestry land. According to the investigation, there are 798 known plants in Kanas, belonging to 83 families and 298 genera. Here, five-needle pine in Xinjiang, Abies fargesii in Xinjiang, Salix psammophila shrub, Sorbus sibirica, Sambucus williamsii, Betula microphylla, rhubarb in Altai, and ginseng in drumstick are the only distribution areas in China. There are 39 species of mammals and 224 species of insects living in Kanas, belonging to 22 orders and 63 genera. Among them, Hua Die has the most tourist and ornamental value.

Kanas is not only rich in natural resources and biological species, but also has a unique tourism environment and human resources. Kanas means beauty, richness and mystery in Mongolian. Only in the Yuan Dynasty did Lu Yechu make suggestions, saying: Who knows that everything in the Western Regions is beautiful, but I believe that Dong Jun is not secular. There are 300 square pools in the round marsh, and one pool in the spring is flat. Kanas blue sky, white clouds, ice peaks, snow-capped mountains, forests, meadows, rivers and Kanas Lake complement each other, and lakes and mountains blend together, with both magnificent scenery in the north and charming scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. There are also some scenic spots, such as the Buddha's "light of the sea of clouds, the discolored lake, the driftwood long embankment, and the lake monster here!
