Silk Route Day 12: Highlight of Urumqi: Heavenly Lake


We depart from the hotel at 8am and the tourist bus reach Heavenly Lake entrance at 10am. The entrance to the top take around 45 minutes. From the top entrance we can either take shuttle for RMB10 or we can walk and it not far anyway from the bus stop to the lake.
Once at the main attraction of heavenly lake there are a lunch stop where local food like naan and lamb kebab is easily spotted. There are few track at the park.


We took the route walk to the ancestor temple and it is about 30 minutes walk per way. The walking tour can enjoy the different scenery of the mountain. You can opt for either trekking or taking the scenery boat which can enjoy the heavenly mountain from the lake.









We depart from the top entrance at 2pm and reach the bottom main entrance at around 3pm. The journey back take around 1.5 hour with a jade shopping stop but we couldn’t wait and decided to take cab back to the hotel. There are an issue on cab and there are many cab may not want to fetch us as they do not know the hotel as they are not local. So be patience when taking cab at Urumqi.

-Next Day-
