In early winter, the shores of Tianchi Lake in Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, are adorned with snow-clad spruce trees and tranquil waters.

Boats leave ripple trails on the mirror-like lake, while the sunset casts a golden glow over the forest and snow-capped mountains, shrouded in mist, resembling a celestial paradise. The pathways at the Qianlong Pool lead to secluded beauty, while the towering peaks of Maya Mountain and Denggan Mountain rise majestically, enhancing the breathtaking winter landscape.

Tianchi Lake, a symbol of Xinjiang's beauty, is a national 5A-level scenic area.
