Tianmen Scenic Spot

The magical "Tianmen" is located in Wuqia County, Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, about 64 kilometers from the county seat. According to historical records: in 1932, a clerk from the British Consulate in Kashgar named Spurton once hunted in this area. This "Tianmen" stands on the Pamir Plateau, shaped like an "∩", 100 meters wide and over 500 meters high, a marvel of nature, crafted by heaven and earth, with immeasurable thickness that amazes all. It's a dream destination for travelers and adventurers. Wuqia County lies at the tail end of the Tianshan Mountains and the head of the Kunlun Mountains, forming a "museum of mountains," where one can witness the pristine form of these mighty ranges. With an average mountain elevation of 4,200 meters, driving through the valleys offers breathtaking views of undulating peaks all around. While enjoying the desert-like natural scenery, travelers can use breaks along the way to learn geographical knowledge, experience the dramatic forces of mountain-building, conduct scientific studies into the formation of the "Tianmen," making it an ideal spot for mountain tourism and educational field trips.
