I thought Altay was beautiful enough until I saw the stunning scenery of Urumqi.

Your feelings are so understandable! Xinjiang is such a place that constantly subverts your cognition - you think you have seen the ultimate beauty, and the next second it opens a new window for you. Urumqi does hide many breathtaking moments. **1. Magical combination of snow-capped mountains and the city** Looking down from Hongshan Park, Bogda Peak hangs above the buildings like a giant ink painting. When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning dyes the snow-capped peaks red, the modern buildings are still immersed in the blue morning light. This surreal visual impact is Urumqi's unique "cyberpunk romance". **2. Fireworks symphony at the International Grand Bazaar** In the evening, the glittering colors of the Adras silk dance with the steam rising from the baked buns. When the shouts of Uyghur vendors, the sounds of the dutar and the exclamations of tourists interweave, you will understand what the "Living Museum of the Silk Road" is. **3. Four Seasons Variations at Nanshan Ranch** In June, the sea of ​​golden lotus spreads to the snow line; in October, when the birch forest turns golden, the migrating teams of Kazakh herdsmen are like flowing oil paintings. What’s even more amazing is that in winter, the pasture dotted with snow mushroom cottages looks like the real version of “Frozen”.
