Tianshan Tianchi, an alpine glacial lake nestled in the embrace of Bogda Peak in Xinjiang, is known as the "Fairyland of Yaochi" and is a "Sky Mirror" in the hearts of photography enthusiasts. At an altitude of 1,910 meters, the lake's water is as clear as jade, reflecting the snow-capped peaks that are covered in snow all year round. The breathtaking scenery can be captured in all four seasons. ❤ A Palette of Four Seasons In late spring and early summer, the azure lake water and the lingering snow line create a wonderful contrast, with the spruce forest sprouting new green and wildflowers dotting the lakeside like stars. In the golden autumn, the birch forest turns golden and red, interwoven with the dark green spruce and indigo lake water, creating a rich color like an oil painting. In winter, the rime is thick, the lake surface freezes into a sapphire mirror, and the snow-capped peaks are faintly visible in the morning mist, like an ink painting. 📍 Popular Check-in Spots 1. ✨ Dinghai Shenzhen: The ancient elm tree by the lake stands alone, creating a unique scene. Take a silhouette photo with the snow-capped mountains as the background, and the collision of age and purity creates a unique artistic conception. 2. ✨ Mayashan Cableway: Take the cable car directly to the observation deck at an altitude of 3,056 meters, overlooking the entire Tianchi Lake. When the sea of clouds surges, it feels like an aerial view. 3. ✨ Xiwangmu Temple: The temple with red walls and golden roofs is suspended on the cliff by the lake. At dawn and dusk, the incense smoke blends with the lake and mountain scenery, creating a full oriental aesthetic. 4. **Lake Loop Boardwalk**: The 8-kilometer wooden boardwalk offers different views at every step. The "Mingyue Songjian Zhao" section is especially recommended, where you can use the reflection of the snow-capped mountains to capture the starry sky at night. It is recommended to visit in the early morning when the mist has not yet dissipated, as the mist rising from the lake will create a fairyland atmosphere. Alternatively, choose a time after the rain when the air is at its clearest. Bring a wide-angle lens to capture the grand scene, and a telephoto lens to compress the space between the snow-capped mountains and the lake, easily capturing magazine cover-worthy works.
