Changji, Xinjiang, resembles a butterfly cake split by Urumqi, its eastern and western enclaves facing each other across the sky. Here's my 12-hour Changji itinerary: Tianchi Lake - Xiyu Nayi - Qianhui Xiyu!
🏞 Tianchi Lake: Is the foot-washing water from the gods this amazing?
Departing from Urumqi and after an hour of shopping, we finally arrived at the legendary Tianshan Tianchi Lake. I highly recommend the "Shimen Yixian" canyon! Glacial meltwater flows through the cliffs on both sides. The tour guide said the Queen Mother of the West once bathed her feet here (no wonder it's called the "Longtan Biyue" bathtub 😂).
Bogda Peak's reflection cascades into the turquoise waters of the lake, and the western wooden plank road offers exclusive, uninhabited views. Tianchi Lake's weather is unpredictable: sunny one moment, dark clouds the next. But the scenery is truly stunning. On the way down, I caught a glimpse of a signpost for the "Running Man" filming location—no wonder they chose this spot for the chase scene; the vastness of the landscape is incredible!
🍖 Nayi in the Western Regions: A Diamond-rated Restaurant with a Cracking Carb Load
Dinner at the three-diamond-certified Nayi restaurant is a must-try: the crispy, oily rack of pork ribs! The pigeon noodles are spicy and pungent, while the handmade yogurt, topped with golden fried rice, creates a tangy, sour sensation that reaches your head. Priced at 60 yuan per person, the carb-crazed idiom is completely subdued...
🎭 Thousand Returns to the Western Regions: A 50-Minute Journey Along the Silk Road
The Xinjiang Grand Theatre, resembling a golden snow lotus, unleashed a bang-on performance of "Thousand Returns to the Western Regions" at 7:30 PM. Camel caravans shuffled by, red-clad dancers soared through the air, and the finale, the sound of Kazakh eagle dance and suona, transported my soul to the ancient camel-bell trail. ✨
🌟 If Tianchi Lake is a chilled poem from the Western Regions, and a Xinjiang meal is a boiled song from the Great Wall, then "Thousand Returns to the Western Regions" is the anchor that has etched Changji into my memory. My eight-day trip to Xinjiang taught me that perfection lies in allowing yourself to get lost in someone else's hometown. Changji is wonderful. See you next time! #SummerNewFun #XinjiangTravel #PhotographyGuide #SilkRoadDreamTravel #RomanticTravelDestinationsInChina

[Mint] Environment: This restaurant is right next to the hotel where we stayed, separated by a wall. After putting down the luggage, we went straight to the restaurant. The overall decoration is full of Western style. You can see the photos I took casually. The environment is really good! 「Nayi Nut Yogurt」The first recommendation is this yogurt. It feels like you can drink 10 of each dried fruit in it. Every raisin is so delicious.「Puff Pastry Baked Buns」A must-eat baked bun in Xinjiang, but I personally prefer this one.「Grilled Lamb Skewers」A large skewer of meat, the taste is also the taste you can't get in the mainland.「Puff Pastry Tofu」The crispy skin, the tofu bursts when you bite it.「Stir-fried Yellow Beef」「Roast Duck」It's not inferior to any other restaurant you've eaten. We really went there for a meal before the flight, and we packed it.
When you come here, you have to eat the local food of Xinjiang.
The feeling of a mouthful of juice bursting out is really great
