Tian Chi Canyon

Tian Chi Canyon is a natural attraction located near Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China. The area is steeped in local belief, considered by some to be a place where deities once resided. Access is primarily via minibus from Urumqi, offering a cost-effective transportation option. While the standard tour may include stops at shops, visitors can opt out of these. The canyon offers opportunities for hiking and exploring the surrounding mountains, with local Kazakh and Uzbek guides available for extended excursions and horseback riding. The area is known for its delicious 'nang' bread.
