To Urumqi, friends said, we must look to the Heavenly Lake. Said there were mountains, lakes Bi Cheng, spruce clouds, green grass Man Po, is a paradise on earth.
Early in the morning together, facing the past few days, very few Xiaguang, Ben Tianchi away by car. On the road, car drivers give us a lot, saying that Tianchi also known as Yao Chi, located in Fukang County, halfway up the mountain peaks of Tianshan Bogda, 100 kilometers away from Urumqi, the north, the lake elevation of 1928 meters, 3400 meters long lake, was half-moon. Also said that when the lake filled with water up to 4.9 square kilometers, the deepest 105 meters. Standing on the shore to the south the distance, Bogda peak cloud-cloud, snow and ice snow, white clouds were blossoming, and as charming as the Swiss snow-capped mountains.
Cars to go up along the valley, roadside mountain streams torrents, thrown up a white spray, which is melting snow and ice from the mountain streams. In the winding roads of the mountain stream, listening to the buzzing sound of running water, stretch a piece old elm without first Daoshan Zhong Shen You feel a bit of scenery.
Circled the car, on a mountainside with a sudden blocking the line of sight, is to speculate on how into the mountains, when I saw one days sewing emerge. This is the Shek Mun, Shek Mun height of about 100 meters, the two peaks Jia Zhi, narrowest point is only 10 meters or so, the pass line is the door into the Heavenly Lake scenic area of natural Que. Shek Mun said by ancient rivers cut gorges formed, it said Shek Kip, towering stone walls, up to tens of meters long and nearly 100 meters, Tin Hau its extinction, like the open gate 2. The water is thus the mountains before, swift rotation, whitecaps, such as Amoy, torrents splash, its valleys looked upward, Tiancheng line, blue sky, such as carving.
Moving upward through the Shihmen far to find that a pool of clear water, quietly illuminates the sky clouds, which is Longtan Pi month, also known as the West Xiaotianchi. Legend, Tianchi shower at the West Queen Mother, this is a small Tianchi Foot bathtub. It is not marvelous Xiaotianchi is the source of the three workers out of Tianchi River pass the low-lying at the intersection formed by a water pit. This lake when the night falls, the Haoyue off, the mountains shadow greet the lake, its scenery, particularly deep.
Up and across a hillside, is a Tianchi. Standing on the shore, looking ahead, mighty water, quiet, such as meditation, in the water some day, days of clouds, cloud, there peaks snow-capped. Faced with this mountain of water, people feel like the sky boats sailing, Xianqi breeze, beautiful. Tianchi a say on the origins, according to records, more than 3,000 years ago, King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty and so on five generations of monarchs weeks patrolling the West when he met with the West River at the Jade Pool, Queen Mother of the host and guest Huzeng gift, talk very harmonious. Western Queen is more in Yao Chi banquet in honor of the River "East Princes," King Mu during which singing in antiphonal style, and singing, Meet Yao Chi reunited three years later. The legend of the picturesque Tianchi leave a much-told story. To the Qing Dynasty Sishibanian (1783), Urumqi are bright before unification minister to take "days, Mirror", "shenchi" in Italy, officially named Tianchi.
According to Guo few photos we have boat tour. Boat on the water running, I just feel cold winter wind, the water seems deeper than other water, to a number of blue, this is probably the melting snow and ice with a heavy cold the lake is still due. Boat tour around the Tianchi turn full circle, the entire Tianchi scenery, pristine scenery that people feel comfortable.
When the boat returned to shore, you can see the north shore on a hoary old elm tree near the water and hygiene, lush foliage. Said tree called Dinghaishenzhen, legends this is the head of the Jade Hairpin Western Queen Mother, is warning the West Queen Mother inserted in the lake, suppression pool of evil dragons. While this argument has a lot of superstition, colors, sounds, or interesting.
To the Heavenly Lake, the best looking, or looking Nanshan snow. Perhaps, this is the soul of Tianchi. Stood Lake, eagerly looking south, the majestic snow-capped Bogda Peak, silver shine, day of high blue, cloud-like wound. In particular, mapping the highland lakes, according to Bi Tian wanders the dark green trees, under this situation to appreciate this worldly paradise, particularly refreshing.
