China’s Hidden Paradise: Discovering Heavenly Lake 🇨🇳✨
Wilko Wanders2025-08-038 min

I climbed Tianchi Mountain in Xinjiang, known as Heavenly Lake. The Tianchi lies on the north side of the Bogda Shan range in the Tian Shan, about 30 kilometres south of Fukang and 45 kilometres east of Ürümqi. Wilko travels with a slow, observant mindset, aiming to connect with local people and understand the landscape on a deeper level. The emphasis is on genuine experiences and cultural curiosity, rather than fast-changing scenes or promotional content.
