Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Urumqi. Relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as you make your way to Tianchi Lake. Upon arrival, transfer to the scenic area shuttle bus for a 40-minute ride uphill.

Once you reach the core area of Tianchi, take in the breathtaking views of the snow-capped mountains and the serene lake. Stroll along the lakeside boardwalk, visit the ancient elm tree known as Dinghai Shenzhen, and explore West Little Tianchi and the Hanging Spring Waterfall.

Stop for a simple lunch within the scenic area (own expense) before continuing your exploration. Opt to take the Mayashan Cableway for panoramic views of Tianchi and Bogda Peak.

Throughout the tour, your English-speaking guide will provide in-depth explanations of the natural and cultural stories of the area, including the mythology of the Queen Mother of the West.

After a day of sightseeing, take the shuttle bus downhill and return to Urumqi, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel.
