Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous
Region, is located on the banks of the Urumqi River at the northern
foot of Tianshan Mountain. For over two thousand years, many
different minorities who herded sheep and cattle pastured the area
around Urumqi. It was an important city along the ancient Silk Road,
and is now an important city along China's northwestern border. It
has rich tourist resources. The Urumqi Airport is the center of
transportation in northwestern China.
Tianchi Lake is about 62 miles
from Urumqi. The 1.8 square mile Tianchi Lake is located at the foot
of Tianshan Mountain and is an ideal resort in the summer and an
ideal place for alpine skiing in winter. This beautiful lake is one
of the famous scenic spots in Xinjiang. |
