Where to Go in Urumqi in May

On sunny days in the pleasant climate, moderate outdoor activities are OK. Experiencing the culture of temple in the comfortable daytime temperature is suitable for outdoor activities. Chaiwopuhu National Wetland Park, the Salt Lake and Southern Pasture are good choices. As for indoor scenic areas, Xinjiang Regional Museum is worth visiting.

Located about 45 kilometers (28 miles) southeast of Urumqi, the Chaiwopuhu National Wetland Park centered on the Chaiwopu  Lake is divided into wetland landscape viewing area, lakeside adventure area, recreational sport area and ecological conservation area. The Chaiwopu Lake is the largest freshwater lake in the suburbs of Urumqi, which receives melted snow water from Bogda Peak. It is a cold water lake and the surface of the water is as smooth as a mirror. In the daytime, the clear sky, limpid lake water and beautiful surrounding scenery will make you relaxed. At night, stars in the sky are almost close enough to touch.

The Salt Lake is 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) away from the above park. There you can float on the lake or appreciate exquisite salt carvings in shape of flowers, birds, cattle and sheep. In indoor swimming pool, you can also experience black mud spa, mineral salt therapy and other health and beauty projects. Southern Pasture is famous for West Poplar Valley with yurts and herds of sheep and cows.
