Nestled in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region at the base of Bogda Peak, Tianchi, also known as Heavenly Lake, offers an unparalleled natural experience. Spanning 160 square kilometers with plans to expand to 548 square kilometers, this national-level scenic area boasts four distinct natural zones, including snow-capped mountains and high-altitude lakes.
Often referred to as the \"Pearl of Tian Shan,\" Tianchi captivates visitors with its crystal-clear waters, lush greenery, and vibrant wildflowers. Towering spruces and larch trees blanket the mountains, creating a picturesque vista that seems straight out of a painting. In recognition of its extraordinary beauty and cultural significance, the Tianchi Scenic Area was honored with a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2013.
