View of huge dinning hall from my bedroom at Xiwangmu Hotel  located at Tianchi Tianshan in East of Urumqi, Xinjiang in the Silk Road of China :

And it’s so beautiful out here - the air is so fresh & the whole place’s simply so serene……………

I’m now standing at the entrance staircase to Xiwangmu Hotel - with amazing views of Alphine beauty of the Silk Road of China at its grandest!!

And while waiting for our whole tour group to check out of  Xiwangmu Hotel, I shop at the Hotel’s lobby Souvenirs Shop & got the following Jade Pendants which are on sales at 10 RMB each - heheh very good buys!!

What a most beautiful sight of the Heavenly Lake & Mountain (Tianchi Tianshan)……………

The Bogda Mountains (or “God Mountains“) is 150 miles long averaging 13,000 feet elevation - forming the northern perimeter of the Turpan Depression, with Snowcapped Peaks throughout the year!

And behind me are lovely Mountainsides covered with luxuriant Pines & Cypresses……………..

From here, one can either choose to get off to visit the Hsi Wangmu’s Ancestor Temple or continue on the Tianchi Boat Cruise……………..

Here’re views of Tianshan (Heavenly Mountain) facing the Temple :

Our Boat Cruiser is now moving away from the Hsi Wangmu’s Ancestor Temple after letting some Tourists off…………..

Hahah I am really enjoying this Tianchi Boat Cruise with such fantastic views of the Heavenly Lake & Mountains, & I’m feeling extremely glorious!!!

Let’s look at more close-up views of the pretty Pines & Cypresses by the Heavenly Mountainside (Tianshan)………….

I’m now going shopping at the Tianchi Tianshan Souvenirs shops near the Exit of the Yacht’s Quay :

And the following very warm pretty Fury Hat for myself :

Hey there’s a Traditional Cultural Uygur Costumes Rental Stall behind me down below - I’m so excited as i can’t wait to be dressed as a Uygur lady for photography haha!!

Here I am seated by the rock of Tianchi (Heavenly Lake) - a Reddish pink Ugyur lady…………

Now, I’ve changed to a different Headdress & possing with a local Uygur Man holding the popular traditional Uygur String Instrument - Dutar :

And I’m now wearing a different 3rd Headdress with my Tour mate…………….

I’m now back at the carpark of Tianchi Tianshan where we’re waiting for our Buggy to take us back to our Tour Coach :

As there’s some free time before our Buggy arrives, I wonder around the neighbouring Tianchi centre in search of Uygur Souvenirs, & I’m so lucky & happiest to have spotted these following most beautiful Cultural Uygur Dolls :

I also bought the following 2 lovely handmade Wooden Dolls :

Here’s a pic of Xiwangmu Hotel at the foot of the far-away Mountain, among the many lovely Pine Trees & Cypresses, where we stayed last night here in Tianchi Tianshan :

And while waiting for the rest of our Tour mates to be back at our Tour Coach, I quickly ran to buy one more Black Fury Hat - so now I’ve got 2 of them!!

Haha I simply adore them so much - they’re of very good quality keeping one real warm, & they’re so cheap & gorgeous looking!!

Once again, I’m enjoying the outside views of beautful Tianshan (Heavenly Mountain) with its Cable Cars riding up & downhill…………….

And as our Tour Coach travels out of the long windy roads of Tianshan (Heavenly Mountain), we catch glimpses of the following Chinese words inscripted on the Mountainside that read “Tien Kai Yi Men, You Xing Chong Lai” meaning “Sky Door opens - bringing Happiness back again” :

Indeed it felt like I’ve just visited Heaven & had much peacefullness & happiness enjoying the entire Heavenly paradise - & making me feel really blessed as I bid farewell to Tianchi Tianshan!!
