geographical environment

Tianchi, known as "yaochi" in ancient times, is located in the north of Bogda peak in Tianshan Mountain, more than 40 kilometers south by east of Fukang City and 110 kilometers away from Urumqi city. "Tianchi" comes from the inscription "Lingshan Tianchi tongshuiqu tablet" written by Urumqi Dutong Guangming in 1783. Tianchi Lake is a famous alpine lake in the world. In 1982, it was listed as the first batch of national key scenic spots.

Tianchi Lake is 1910 meters above sea level and 3400 meters long. The widest part is about 1500 meters and the deepest part is 105 meters. The area of Tianchi Lake reaches 4.9 square kilometers when it is full of water, with a total water storage capacity of 160 million cubic meters. This is a high mountain moraine lake formed in Quaternary glacial activities more than 2 million years ago. The natural dike on the north bank is a moraine ridge.

It has a total area of 160 square kilometers, starting from Shimen in the north, snow line in the south, Maya mountain in the West and Dadonggou in the East. Standing on a high place and looking far away, there are green waves, one after another.

Along the coast, there are green pines and cypresses, jagged rocks and smoky clouds; around the mountains, there are green grass and flocks of sheep; there are Millennium ice peaks, wrapped in silver, which are extremely beautiful.

Main attractions

Dongxiaotianchi

There are three water surfaces in Tianchi Lake. In addition to the main lake, there are two water surfaces on the East and west sides. On the east side is the East small Tianchi Lake, which is called Heilongtan in ancient times. It is located 500 meters east of Tianchi Lake. It is said that it is the place where the queen mother of the West bathes and cleans. Therefore, it is also known as "shuxijian" and "yuxianpen". At the bottom of the pool is a cliff with a waterfall flying straight down, just like a rainbow falling from the sky. It's really spectacular. It helps to form a scene of "Xuanquan Yaohong".

Xixiaotianchi

On the west side is the West small Tianchi, also known as the jade pond. It is said that it is the foot washing place of the queen mother of the west, two kilometers northwest of Tianchi. The West small Tianchi lake looks like a full moon. The water is clear and deep, surrounded by tasong. If you meet the bright moon in the sky, the static shadow sinks into the wall, and the clear scenery is infinite, you will also get a scenery day: "dragon pond blue moon". On the side of the pool, there is also a waterfall, which is tens of meters high. It is like the Milky Way landing, spitting beads and splashing jade. The scenery is called "jade belt and silver curtain". There is Wentao Pavilion on the pool. It's very interesting to watch the waterfall. The eye can see the curtain rolling, the pool waves, the pines green and the water green; the ear can hear the water hammer through the rock, and the sound shock in the rift valley.

Denggan mountain

Three kilometers to the west of Tianchi is Denggan mountain, which is 2718 meters above sea level and about 3 kilometers long. Laojun temple and Dongyue Temple were built here. At that time, Taoists set up a loose pole on the top of the mountain and hung a sky lamp on it, which could not be extinguished day and night. At that time, the people in Urumqi used the sky lamp as a metaphor. As long as the lamp kept on burning, it indicated the world was peaceful, so the lamp was also called the peace lamp. Looking from the west of the lamppost, you can have a panoramic view of Urumqi, especially when the lights are just beginning to shine. It's a great pleasure to see the lights of Urumqi from afar.

Ma Ya Shan

Two kilometers southwest of Tianchi, there is Maya mountain, with an altitude of 3056 meters and a length of 5 kilometers. The top of the mountain is precipitous and precipitous, and there are many boulders, which are like a row of huge Maya, so it is named. The stone forest in Maya mountain is a unique scenic spot in Tianchi. The huge stones are eroded by the wind, forming a special landscape of Maya. The stone halls are strange in shape and different in shape, or the huge teeth are like the blood mouth of a beast, or the layers are rolled like the waves of the sea. One of them is very much like an ancient herdsman, wearing a felt hat, with an air of safety. Walking into the stone forest always makes you reverie. On the top of Maya mountain, you can see Tianchi in the north, Bogda in the East, three peaks of snow sea in the East, and lushe village in the West.

It is said that more than 3000 years ago, Emperor Mu had a banquet with the queen mother of the west at the Bank of the Tianchi Lake, leaving a good story for thousands of years, which made the Tianchi Lake win the reputation of "yaochi". In the early 1970s, Guo Moruo accompanied Prince Sihanouk on a tour. He chanted "a pool of thick ink on the bottom of the inkstone, and ten thousand trees are long with a straight pen" near the lake.

Myths and legends

It is said that on the birthday of the third West Queen Mother in early March, all the immortals gathered in yaochi. After the meeting, the queen mother of the West sent Taibai Jinxing to check the mortal situation. Taibai Jinxing saw the people live and work in peace and harmony in the mortal world, which was almost the same as the upper world. After returning, she made a truthful description to the queen mother. When the queen mother had doubts, she asked Taibai Jinxing to invite King Mu of Zhou to the mortal world. When she saw King Mu of Zhou, she believed Taibai Jinxing's words. Three days later, Wang's mother led the king to visit the peach garden and yaochi, and set up a peach banquet to entertain him and his party. After the peach banquet, the king left and never went to yaochi again. Later, Li Shangyin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, expressed his feelings: Yao Chi's mother leans against the window, Huang Zhu's song moves and mourns, and eight horses travel 30000 Li a day. Why doesn't King Mu come back?
