salt lake
Chaiwobao Great Salt Lake is an important salt-producing area in Xinjiang. There is a wide salt flat by the lake, revealing a solid face that is about to melt. Countless animal bones and old debris will take you to another world. When the sun goes down, it will shine in the dark background, which is particularly dazzling. Next to the Great Salt Lake is also a freshwater lake, only 5 kilometers apart. Surprisingly, the bottoms of the two lakes are connected, and the salt lake is higher than the freshwater lake. However, these two lakes show completely different characteristics. On the east bank of the Great Salt Lake, near the highway, there is also a Han and Tang ruins, which can be visited.
Hongguangshan
Hongguangshan, located near Kaziwan in northern Urumqi, was a barren mountain more than ten years ago, but now it is full of green. Hongguangshan Ecological Park covers an area of10.5 million mu. In addition to the Great Buddha Temple, there are ecological landscape forests, zoos, mythical statues of the Journey to the West, solar swimming pools, a 3-kilometer grape corridor, a green square and a 70,000-square-meter blue lake. The park is based on greening, dominated by ecology, supported by tourism and based on Buddhist culture. After more than ten years of unremitting efforts, an eco-tourism center has basically been formed.
