    The scenery after a snowfall is quite unique and definitely worth a visit. A tranquil lake lies nestled among the mountains, with clouds drifting around its waist and snow-capped peaks shimmering in the sunlight. The cable car is extremely overpriced; a one-way trip is only 4 minutes, and a round-trip ticket costs a whopping 185 yuan—I've never encountered such a price at a scenic spot I've visited in China.

    I followed the scenic area's shuttle bus along the southern route. It was November, and the landscape felt rather desolate; the scenery is much better in summer. Crossing the Grand Canyon leads to the other side, but there's a lot of snow now, making the shaded mountain paths unsuitable for travel. The wheat harvest is complete, and there are no golden waves of autumn wheat to be seen. The "gravity hill" is definitely not caused by a visual difference based on a reference point.

    The Xinjiang Grand Theatre is located in Changji, 33 kilometers from Urimqi. A half-hour taxi ride away, the large-scale performance "Return to the Western Regions" is worth seeing. The theatre's building, resembling a golden snow lotus, is a beautiful sight.

    Speaking of deserts, friends in the south must be very curious and unfamiliar with them. It is hot in summer and cold in winter. It is very beautiful and has a unique western style. It is a place you will fall in love with as soon as you come. Come and check it out! !
