Just two and a half hours or 115 km northeast of Urumqi you'll find a small deep-blue mountain lake set in the midst of the surrounding snow capped peaks of the Tianshan Range. The lake is known to the locals as Tian Chi (天池) or Heavenly Lake (in Mandarin Chinese) and the whole place has the feel of the Swiss Alps.
