Cool and Secret Spots North and South of the Tianshan Mountains:2-Day Customized Car Tour Around Urumqi for Summer Escape: A Complete Guide
I. Itinerary Features and Destination Analysis
Although Xinjiang is known for its heat in summer, the barrier effect of the Tianshan Mountains creates several natural summer resorts. This 2-day customized car tour around Urumqi takes you deep into alpine meadows, virgin forests, and glacial lakes above 2,000 meters above sea level, allowing you to experience a cool world with an average daily temperature of 18-25℃.
Highlights of Core Attractions
Tianshan Tianchi (Heavenly Lake):A World Natural Heritage site, this alpine lake sits at an altitude of 1,910 meters. In summer, the lake surface is mirror-like, surrounded by spruce forests. The negative oxygen ion concentration reaches 30,000 per cubic centimeter, making it ideal for hiking and photography.
Nanshan Pasture (West Poplar Canyon):A natural oxygen bar on the outskirts of Urumqi, with an average summer temperature of 22℃. Experience the local life of various ethnic groups and enjoy waterfalls and snow-capped spruce forests.
Jiangbulake:Known as the “Sea of Wheat in the Tianshan Mountains” in Qitai County, it features rolling green waves in summer. The starry campground offers night views of the Milky Way, and it becomes even more accessible after the northern section of the Duku Highway opens.
