[2025 Urumqi County Attraction] Travel Guide for Miao'ergou Waterfall Sceneic Area (Updated Jan)

Hey guys! Not sure where to go this weekend? Come to Miaoergou in Urumqi! 😎 🅿️ Just navigate to Miaoergou and follow the navigation. The ticket is CNY 45 per person, charged per person, not per car. Pets are allowed. 🚾 There are very few usable toilets in the scenic area! There are many WCs, but they are closed in winter because the pipes are frozen. Only one at the terminal of the shuttle bus is available. Please note this if you plan to visit. 🫱🏻 Snow tube: Free! You can play 3 times per person. You can play when others are done with the snow tube. 🚗 About the shuttle bus: If you drive, you can drive into the scenic area. No extra charge for the car. You can drive a section of the road in the scenic area, but you can't drive to the waterfall. You can choose to take an electric motorcycle, ride a horse, or walk to the waterfall. The one-way distance is about 1–2 km. If you don't have the energy to walk, you can choose to take an electric motorcycle or ride a horse. The electric motorcycle is CNY 200, and the horse is CNY 50. I walked up, and it was a little tiring. ⭐️ About the return trip: After seeing the waterfall, you can choose to take an electric motorcycle, ride a horse, walk, or take a snowboard. I recommend buying a small snowboard at the store next to the waterfall and sliding down. It's more fun than riding a horse. A snowboard with a manual brake is about CNY 30. There are also small plastic sheets that you can sit on and slide down, which are cheaper. Have you ever been to Miaoergou? Share your experience with us! 😘

The clear stream cascades down from high cliffs, splashing water everywhere, with a thunderous roar that echoes through the valley like a majestic symphony. The lush greenery surrounding the waterfall adds a touch of softness, and the sound of the flowing water intertwined with the fresh mountain air creates a pure and tranquil natural atmosphere. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting a glow on the mist, occasionally revealing a dancing rainbow, enchanting visitors with this natural masterpiece. Miaoergou Waterfall is not only an ideal place to admire magnificent scenery but also a serene haven to cleanse the soul and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

❄️ Winter in Xinjiang is too beautiful. It only takes 1 hour to drive from Urumqi city to Moergou Waterfall, where you can experience a dreamy fairyland with bright white snow covering the cedar peaks and stones merging into the stream. The frozen blue ice waterfall is worth a visit, and the scenery along the way is even more breathtaking! Navigation📍: Moergou Waterfall Transportation🚗: Self-driving Ticket🎫: 45 (price increased) Time🕐: 1h 🛣Route: 🚘After entering the scenic area, you cannot drive directly to the waterfall. After passing the No. 4 parking lot, you can walk about 1 kilometer further, then you can't go any further, there is a fence, and there is an open space next to it for parking. Many cars stop here, and from here you start walking straight ahead. It takes about half an hour to reach the innermost waterfall. There are too many beautiful spots along the way, and you can take photos while walking. Photo Check-in Spot Recommendations📷 Turn After entering, there are several turns, one side is a wooden fence, and the other side is trash cans and benches. Take photos from a distance that is a bit away from the person, which feels very atmospheric. Bench There are several benches along the way, you can choose your favorite one to take photos, alternating from the side, far and near. Swing There are 2 swings along the way, you can choose any to take photos, when walking towards the swing, standing beside it, or swinging. Viewing Platform After the second swing, there is a viewing platform on the right hand side before going up the wooden walkway. There are benches all around, and you can take photos on the bench under the tree on the right, or take photos of the swing and pedestrians below. Wooden Walkway Further ahead is the winding wooden walkway, where you can choose a suitable location to take photos. Dragon King Waterfall At the end of the wooden walkway is the Dragon King Waterfall, which is all ice around the waterfall, with a small waterfall in the middle not frozen, said to have blue ice, not seen. You can take photos freely in front of the waterfall, it is recommended to shoot from a low position to capture the full view of the waterfall. Tips💡 ✨It is recommended to enter the scenic area at noon, you can see the sunlight through the forest sprinkling on the road, pavilions, benches, and warning signs, with the milky white snow on the side, the photos taken are too atmospheric. Don't rush to park in the parking lot, drive to the fence at the innermost. 🌟Since it's in the mountains, it is recommended to wear high-top boots and warm down jackets, gloves, hats, and ear warmers. Listen to me, it's really cold inside, freezing hands and face, especially after the shoes get into the snow, it's too cold for the feet. ❗️❗️Be careful when walking on the wooden walkway steps, there is thin ice that has been swept of snow, which is very slippery. ❗️❗️If you come by self-driving, make sure it's with snow tires, some sections have snow and ice. You can ride a horse or hike up the mountain. The horse riding fee seems to be about 100 for a round trip. We hiked for more than half an hour and took photos along the way!
