Snow Crown Tianshan: A Tour of Free Photo Spots

The Snow Crown Tianshan Scenic Area in Xinjiang boasts magnificent landscapes, and even without entering paid attractions, there are plenty of stunning free photo spots to explore. At the 3,398-meter-high Hashilegen Daban on the Duku Highway, you can admire vast mountain ranges, winding roads, and distant snow-capped peaks and glaciers. The area also features iconic love lock installations and an archway inscribed with "A Must-Drive in This Lifetime," making it a perfect spot for memorable photos. Additionally, emerald lakes dot the valleys along the way, creating breathtaking natural vistas that are absolutely worth stopping to appreciate. #chinatravel#summervacay #travel #couplestrip #naturalwonders #thingstodo
