Mt. Bogda - Tian Chi Heavenly Lake - Urumqi
We make our way back to Urumqi. You can choose to ride or to walk. Visit a local Kazak family and join them for lunch or snacks. Inquire about the Hazak nomads and discuss about their changing way of life: in 5 years you will not see their yurts together with their horses, sheep and oxen, as the government will force them to leave the area and find a new life in towns and cities. In the afternoon we well reach the south bank of "Tian Chi", the Heavenly Lake. The Heavenly Lake is situated to the east of the Tianshan Mountain range, north of Bogda Peak, 97 km south of Urumuqi. Known as Yaochi in ancient times, the lake surface elevates 1,910 meters above sea level, with an average depth of 60 meters. Surrounding the Heavenly Lake are snow mountains, glaciers, forests and grassland alpine lakes, featuring a vertical natural landscape belt. We will cross the lake on a speed boat. After arrival in Urumqi, we will get picked up by our driver. After check-in at the hotel you will be rewarded with the last lamb feast in Xinjiang.
