新疆景點(diǎn)介紹：Urumqi
? Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is located in an alluvial fan-shaped basin on the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains. The city opens on to the Junggar Basin in the north. In the Mongolian language, Urumqi means Beautiful Meadow.
? Hongshan?
? Hongshan Mountain is the highest spot in the center of the city. Hongshan’’s main peak is 464 meters above sea level. With towering crags, the mountain was named after the cliffs, which gleam red in the sun’’s rays every morning and evening. The upper part of the mountain looks like the head of a tiger, so it is also called Tiger Head Mountain. It faces Yamalike Mountain, less than 1,000 meters away. At the foot of the mountain is the Urumqi River, flowing from north to south. On the top of Hongshan Mountain is a statue of Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) national hero Lin Zexu. Standing at the Yuantiao (looking far into the distance) Tower on the mountain, one can view the whole city.
? Heaven Lake
