Nestled against the Tianshan Mountains, Urumqi is truly a "major city at the foot of snow-capped peaks."
Having visited many cities, I'm still captivated by Urumqi's urban landscape—its distinctive skyscrapers, ever-present mountain vistas, and pristine nightscapes exude a unique sophistication.
On clear days, nature blesses the city with breathtaking gifts:
• Golden Sunrise/Sunset: The Bogda Peak glows with alpine gold
• Pink Alpenglow: Evening light paints the snow peaks in delicate pastels
The harmonious blend of urban architecture and majestic mountains creates scenes of surreal beauty.
