Believe me, this is the Shata Urumqi Branch Tower

hi~ Hello everyone, I am Jack, always on the road, currently traveling in Xinjiang. If you come to Xinjiang for tourism and don't want to travel far for photos and fun, I hope this one-day tour guide around Urumqi will be useful to you. Many people travel to Xinjiang and head straight to Sayram Lake and Nalati, but actually, you don't need to go that far. There is a free 'alternative' scenic spot to Nalati near Urumqi, which is also accessible by public transportation! Nanshan Shagou, this place is very suitable for hiking, horseback riding, and outdoor camping⛺️, it is simply a paradise for hiking enthusiasts! You will also pass by a sea of sunflowers🌻 along the roadside. 📷 Recommended activities: ☑️ Chrysanthemum Terrace - The platform is full of daisies, and you can overlook the entire Nanshan pasture from the vantage point. ☑️ Wulastai - On both sides of the road is an endless grassland, and you can take pictures📸 in the middle of the road when there are no cars. ☑️ Xibaiyanggou - The scenery is beautiful for horseback riding here, and the photos come out great✔ ☑️ Dashenbulake Waterfall - Play in the water💦 and cool off with the locals under the waterfall, the water is very clean🐬 Tips: 1⃣ Hiking can cross the hill and follow the creek to the end, which is a large lawn, round trip takes about 5 hours (12-15 kilometers round trip), go at your own pace. ⚠️ There is no signal in the mountains, be careful! 2⃣🐴 Experiencing horseback riding is also great, you can ride by yourself or have a horseman lead you, it is recommended for inexperienced friends to be led. 3⃣ The further you go, the better the scenery, with towering snow-capped mountains, endless grasslands, babbling creeks, and herds of cattle and sheep. 4⃣ The average temperature in Nanshan is a few degrees lower than in the city, so prepare for sun protection on sunny days and bring a jacket in case of weather changes. 5⃣ You can camp, but no fires are allowed. There are shops at the entrance of the scenic area, so prepare enough food and drinking water yourself. 🎫 Free 🐎 Horse riding 80r/h, an additional 80r for a horseman to lead 🧭 Nanshan Scenic Area, Urumqi County, about 1 hour by car 🚻 There are public toilets along the road to the scenic area, but none inside the scenic area
