Xinjiang Second Stop - Tianshan Tianchi

Tianshan Tianchi Tianshan Tianchi has always given people a mysterious feeling, making people yearn for it. I came in April and directly bought a one-day round trip ticket from Urumqi International Passenger Station to Tianshan Tianchi. The bus fare is quite cost-effective, but the ticket + shuttle bus round trip is not cost-effective, as it only includes the first section of the shuttle bus. The second section of the shuttle bus and the cable car require additional payment. The scenery of Tianshan Tianchi in April is generally average. The scenery along the way is relatively dry, except for the initial stunning view of Tianchi, the snow-capped mountains, the frozen lake, and the snow-covered pine forest. Other than that, Tianchi is under maintenance and you can't walk around the lake, you can only visit half of it. The Wangmu Niangniang Temple also requires an additional fee. To reach the final snow-capped peak, the cable car fee is about two hundred yuan for a round trip, which is a bit expensive, especially since the ticket is already nearly four hundred yuan. The cost performance is quite poor. Overall, it is not recommended to visit Tianshan Tianchi in April. It would be better to visit in summer or autumn when it is more beautiful.
