Tianchi Lake in Xinjiang is a natural alpine lake, with a length of 3,400 meters, the widest point 1.500 meters and the deepest point 1.005 meters, covering an area of 4.9 square kilometers. The lake is clear and crystal clear as jade.
Bogda Peak, where Tianchi is located, is the second peak in Tianshan Mountain, with an altitude of 5,400 meters. The left and right peaks are connected, and the three peaks rise together and go straight into the sky. The peaks are covered with glaciers and snow, shining with white silver light. The sparkling silver light and the pure blue lake water set each other off, forming a beautiful natural landscape of alpine lakes.
The towering Tianshan Mountains stretch for more than 2,500 kilometers from east to west and 250 to 350 kilometers from north to south. Tianchi, located on the northern slope of Bogdo Mountain in the middle of North Tianshan Mountain, is surrounded by mountains, green grass and wild flowers, and is known as the "Pearl of Tianshan Mountain".
Tianchi, called "Yaochi" in ancient times, is the legendary place where Chinese and Western heavenly queens entertain Zhou Muwang. According to Mu Chuan, in 989 BC, he came to Yaochi in Tianshan Mountain from the far east, and the Queen Mother of the West gave a banquet. The two made an impromptu peace and met after a short meeting. When leaving, the Queen Mother of the West reluctantly said to Zhou Muwang, "I wish you a long life and wish you come again!" However, Zhou Muwang is gone forever. Leaving only a touching legend.
Li Shangyin, a great poet in the late Tang Dynasty, said in a poem: "Grandma Yaochi's window is open, and the yellow bamboo mourns. Eight kings go to Wan Li every day and never come back. "
"Extraordinary, magnificent and extraordinary worldviews often lie in danger." In the mountainous Tianshan Canyon, there is an alpine lake that nails the world. Its name is Tianshan Tianchi.
