Hi, I have noticed that the lake seems to be surrounded by some beautiful mountains. Are there any trails that go through these mountains and allow visitors to get a nice view of the area? Google Maps shows a path winding through some hills to the west of the lake, but I can't tell whether this is open to tourists.

Planning to visit end of November, 2018, can we stay at Yurts? How do we go bout booking one? What would the weather be like at that time? Thanks.

Hi folks, On July 14th (Friday) I arrived at Urumqi Airport at midnight and on Saturday 15th (Saturday) I plan to sightseeing in Tian Chi(Heavenly Lake). As a result of looking for tours to Tian Chi, all tours leave the city early in the morning and return to the city in the evening, so we can not enter the Xinjiang Region Museum. I shall charter a taxi around noon starting from city, I am looking for someone to go to Tian Chi with me. We shall share the taxi fee !!

こんにちは！ ７月１４日（金）真夜中にウルムチ空港へ到着し、１５日（土）は１日のみウルムチの観光を予定しています。 天地へのツアーを探した結果、全てのツアーは朝早くに市内を出発し、夕方に市内へ戻るため、新疆ウイグル自治区博物館への入館ができません。お昼ごろにタクシーをチャーターし、一緒に天地に行く人を探しています。

Hi Ange/ other trip advisor users, Can someone please recommend contacts of the yurts at Tianchi Lake? I prefer to make a booking in advance as I am arriving with some heavy equipment and can't be scouring the place for a yurt with the baggage. Many thanks!

Are there any public bus that gets there from the city of Urumqi? Where can i get the bus or tourist bus? how much would that be?? Timing??
