    "Ju Wanxu, a tour guide sister of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum, was able to vividly tell the story behind the exhibits and make the "still" cultural relics lifelike. Ju Wanxu not only has a wealth of knowledge reserves, but also can attract tourists' attention in popular languages, so that people have a deeper understanding and understanding of Xinjiang's history and culture. On the one hand, the professionalism and enthusiasm shown in the explanation process make the visitors able to learn in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Her way of explaining is both educational and interesting, so that tourists visit the museum while, as if crossing time and space into the long river of history. My son especially liked her style of explanation, and listened to every historical detail she introduced, and even went back to read interesting historical stories. On the other hand, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum itself is a place to show the beauty of multicultural blending, with precious cultural relics including the "five-star East Li China" Jinhu arm. The wonderful explanation of Ju Wanxuan tour guide undoubtedly gives these cultural relics more vitality, helping tourists better understand and appreciate these historical witnesses."

    "Only open to Zhaobi Mountain before April 30, and half of them are not open. You have to wait until May Day. The scenery and weather have a lot to do. There is no sun, the woods and water are gray, and there is snow on the roadside and on the mountain when you go."

    "Hongshan Park is a must-see place for foreign visitors to Urumqi. Opposite Hongshan Park is the Demon Mountain. There is a Big Buddha Temple on the mountain and a Red Mountain Pagoda. The park is shaded by trees. There are various entertainment equipment for children to play."
    Urumqi.Hong Shan
    2.1km from downtown
    Highlights: The main body of the park, Hongshan, is composed of purple glutenite, and the mountain is ochre red, which is very unique. In the park, you can walk in the forest, go boating on the lake, visit cultural buildings such as statues of Buddhist temples, experience various amusement projects, and climb the top of the mountain to overlook the panoramic view of the city. It is also a must-see attraction for foreign tourists visiting Uzbekistan. The park is small in size, about five or six hundred meters in length and width, and you can walk around after entering. There is a red mountain in the park, with an altitude of about 900 meters, but the drop from the mountain is only about 100 or tens of meters. There are many trees between the mountain roads and the environment is very good. It takes about half an hour to climb the mountain here. If you are not physically strong, you can take a sightseeing bus from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The park mainly has several entrances on the east side. The entrances are a little difficult to find. After seeing the park from other areas such as Youhao Parkson, you need to go around the park from the east side, and then enter westward from the North Lane 1 of Hongshan Road and Xinmin West Street. There are mainly several areas such as Hongshan Pagoda, Dafo Temple and Yuanqiao Building when playing. Hongshan Tower is located on the top of Hongshan Mountain on the west side. It is a nine-story germanium red tower, which is the same color as the red mountain below, very special. At the Hongshan Tower, you can take a panoramic view of the urban area below, and the field of vision is very wide. The overlooking building is located in the park and also on the top of the mountain. It is also possible to take panoramic views of the city here, but it is not too different from the Hongshan Tower. It is not recommended to buy a ticket to go there. Located on the north side of the park, the Big Buddha Temple is an antique temple where tourists can worship Buddha and pray for blessings.
