    The sand is really beautiful. The best sand in Bohu is here. The recreational facilities are average, and there is nothing fun except the yacht. Buying fish and feeding birds is fun, but it seems that some new recreational projects should be developed. Otherwise, it will be unworthy of the name of "China's Hawaii".

    The poplar trees at the entrance and end points are particularly tall and have beautiful colors. The poplar forest near the bridge in the middle is lush and vibrant, with exceptionally beautiful colors. It's great for filming videos of the hike. However, once you actually enter the poplar forest, the topsoil is quite thick, so it's best to wear boots. Also, the colors at the lower parts of the poplar forest aren't very vibrant. It seems the forest lacks necessary management and facilities, preventing tourists from getting the best angles for photos.

    This season, the autumn grass and leaves are ablaze everywhere in Nanshan. From a bird's eye view, the scenery is vibrant, and walking through the valley reveals a vibrant new color. The snow line has already dropped, and soon, the Tianshan Silk Road Ski Resort will be open for skiing. In summer and autumn, the resort offers cable cars, water skiing, sightseeing buses, horseback riding, and other activities.

    You must buy a helmet, otherwise you will not be allowed to go in. After passing the cable car next to the beginner's trail, if you turn right, be careful of the large angle slope at the beginning. The main reason is that there is no protection around. I feel that a little more protection can be added, otherwise it will be too dangerous for novices. If you are not careful, you will fall or even rush down. I hope the staff of the scenic spot will pay attention to this.

    The Subashi Buddhist Temple Ruins, also known as the Zhaohuli Great Temple, are located 20 kilometers northeast of Kuqa City in Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Dating from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, the temple was first constructed during the Wei and Jin Dynasties and reached its peak during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The site, centered around a pagoda, is surrounded by temples, caves, halls, monks' quarters, and other structures, all of which are relatively well-preserved. A river runs through the site, and the ruins are scattered on earthen mounds on the east and west banks of the river, designated the West Temple and the East Temple, with the main buildings concentrated in the West Temple. The Subashi Buddhist Temple Ruins are enormous and are the largest, best-preserved, and oldest surviving Buddhist architectural complex in Xinjiang. They possess significant historical, artistic, scientific, and social value, representing a prime example of earthen ruins in the arid region of northwest China and even in Central Asia. Their construction techniques encompass nearly all forms of earthen ruins. On November 20, 1996, the Subashi Buddhist Temple Ruins were designated as a fourth-batch National Key Cultural Relics Protection Site by the State Council of the People's Republic of China. On June 22, 2014, the Subashi Buddhist Temple Ruins were included in the World Heritage List as a site in the "Silk Road: Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor Road Network" jointly applied for by China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

    The driver was very nice and professional. He also gave us explanations along the way. His driving skills were first-class and the car was clean and tidy. He was attentive to answer our questions from the moment he picked us up to the scenic spot and on the way back. We had a great time! Highly recommended
