Self-driving: There are parking lots at the east gate/north gate of the park, but parking spaces are limited during peak season. 👍️Must-see attractions: [RedHeart] Hongshan Tower: An ancient tower from the Qing Dynasty, a landmark of Urumqi, climb to the top to overlook the panoramic view of the city. [RedHeart] Overlooking Tower: 360° observation deck, overlooking the snow-capped Bogda Peak (the highest peak in the eastern section of the Tianshan Mountains) (visible in good weather). [RedHeart] Dafo Temple: A Han Buddhist temple with red walls and golden tiles, suitable for taking photos. [RedHeart] Lin Zexu Statue: A historical and cultural site commemorating a national hero.

Summer: Play in the morning and evening to escape the heat and enjoy the night view. Winter: The snowy scenery is unique, please keep warm. 💗Other tips: [!] Ultraviolet rays are strong on sunny days, so please take precautions against the sun. [!] Wear comfortable shoes as some sections of the trail require climbing. [!] There are few restaurants in the park, so it is recommended to bring your own water/snacks. [!]Respect the rules of religious places (such as Big Buddha Temple). [HeartBeat] If you are lucky, you can take a photo of a squirrel 🐿️ foraging for food~ We recommend a night tour to get a panoramic view of the sea of ​​flashing lights in Urumqi. On the hillside closest to the starry sky, immerse yourself in the unique charm of the Silk Road City That Never Sleeps!
