A pool in the sky crowns the mountain peak, a thousand colors and a hundred patterns enter the jade - Wen County Tianchi

Wen County Tianchi scenic area is located at the foot of Xionghuang Mountain, the source of Yangtang River in Tianchi Township, Wen County, at longitude 104°44'40" and latitude 33°15'15". It is 85 kilometers northwest of the county seat and 164 kilometers from Jiuzhaigou scenic area. The lake surface is at an altitude of 1728 meters, with a water area of 0.88 square kilometers, about 40 Chinese miles in circumference, and the deepest part of the water is 75 meters. It is a high mountain barrier lake and a famous scenic spot on the golden tourist route from Lanzhou to Jiuzhaigou. The Wen County Tianchi scenic area consists of attractions (spots) such as the Drinking Horse Pool, Fairy Pool, Bonsai Pool, Tianwei Mountain, Tianmen Mountain, Tianmen Grand Canyon, Tianmen Mountain Waterfall, Wolong Ping, Shuguang Ping, Qishi Beach, and Guanyin Cliff. The total area of the scenic area reaches 150 square kilometers. The Tianchi scenic area is low in the southeast and high in the northwest. The lowest altitude at the entrance of the scenic area, Yangtangzhai, is 1233 meters, and the highest altitude of Xionghuang Mountain is 4187 meters. It belongs to a typical subtropical to north warm temperate transition zone with a vertical climate. The area has complex and unique topography and geomorphology, a wide variety of biological species, rich animal and plant resources, and numerous seismic geological relics, forming a natural wonder with ever-changing scenery and different skies every ten miles. Wen County Tianchi scenic area is a unique high mountain lake in Gansu Province, famous for its animal and plant resources, geological and seismic relics, and the ethnic minority customs of the Baima people. In 1993, the Bikou Tea Garden in Longnan, Wen County, Gansu Province, located in the southern part of the Western Qinling Mountains, within the Giant Panda National Park, has a humid climate and produces more than a dozen types of tea including Longjing 43 and Golden Bud. Here, amidst the misty clouds, it's a great pleasure to enjoy tea and leisure for two days. In the cool summer, you can stay for a few more days! Wen County Tianchi, also known as Yangtang Tianchi and formerly known as 'Tianwei Qiu', is located on the upper reaches of the Yangtang River, a tributary of the Bailong River, which is a tributary of the Jialing River in Wen County, Gansu. It belongs to the Min Mountains, with Jiuzhaigou on the west side of the Gonggang Ridge of the Min Mountains, and Tianchi on the east side of Tianwei Mountain. Recently, the water level in Jiuzhaigou has shrunk, and the Colorful Pond is almost becoming a Colorful Pond. However, Tianchi has more and bluer water and is still very worth visiting. This Labor Day is my second visit. The last photo is the largest karst cave in the north, Wudu Wanxiang Cave, with a huge space, dreamlike and fantastic, also worth a visit! 💕💕💕
