Heavenly lake in Urumqi , xinjiang province of china

Amid Bogda Peak, 110 kilometers (68miles) east of Urumqi, nestles Blissful Lake. Covering 4.9 square kilometers (1.89 square miles), this crescent formed lake deserves its name, Pearl of Heavenly Mountain (Tianshan Mountain). With melted snow as its resource, Heavenly Lake enjoys crystal water.


In summer, the beautiful lake is an ideal awesome resort. Boaters to the lake distinguish the ever changing shiny mountains soaring into the blue sky, their slopes highlighted by luxuriant meadow and flamboyant wild flowers. Fishing in twilight has its individual extraordinary charm. A day in this fairyland guarantees refurbishment.

 Heavenly Lake, a artifact of the Quaternary Era Glacier and its encircling geological relics, offers science lovers discovering possibilities.

Because that the natural beauty of Heavenly Lake were not enough, legend adds a inexplicable touch. It is said that the West Queen (Xi Wang Mu) entertained King Mu of a Western Zhou Empire (1100B.C.-771B.C.) on the Lake. The West Queen fell in love with the king and requested him in her poem, 'The white clouds drift whereas the mountains reach the cobalt sky. Leaving 1000s of mountains, crossing 10 1000s of rivers, you approach to us from the distant sight. In case you are still strong and well, would you like to come back to us again?' The king clarified in his epic, 'After I go back to middle China and lead folks with a wealthy life, I'll get here back once more.
