The blue ice waterfall is a stunning snowy landscape

❄️ Winter in Xinjiang is too beautiful. It only takes 1 hour to drive from Urumqi city to Moergou Waterfall, where you can experience a dreamy fairyland with bright white snow covering the cedar peaks and stones merging into the stream. The frozen blue ice waterfall is worth a visit, and the scenery along the way is even more breathtaking! Navigation📍: Moergou Waterfall Transportation🚗: Self-driving Ticket🎫: 45 (price increased) Time🕐: 1h 🛣Route: 🚘After entering the scenic area, you cannot drive directly to the waterfall. After passing the No. 4 parking lot, you can walk about 1 kilometer further, then you can't go any further, there is a fence, and there is an open space next to it for parking. Many cars stop here, and from here you start walking straight ahead. It takes about half an hour to reach the innermost waterfall. There are too many beautiful spots along the way, and you can take photos while walking. Photo Check-in Spot Recommendations📷 Turn After entering, there are several turns, one side is a wooden fence, and the other side is trash cans and benches. Take photos from a distance that is a bit away from the person, which feels very atmospheric. Bench There are several benches along the way, you can choose your favorite one to take photos, alternating from the side, far and near. Swing There are 2 swings along the way, you can choose any to take photos, when walking towards the swing, standing beside it, or swinging. Viewing Platform After the second swing, there is a viewing platform on the right hand side before going up the wooden walkway. There are benches all around, and you can take photos on the bench under the tree on the right, or take photos of the swing and pedestrians below. Wooden Walkway Further ahead is the winding wooden walkway, where you can choose a suitable location to take photos. Dragon King Waterfall At the end of the wooden walkway is the Dragon King Waterfall, which is all ice around the waterfall, with a small waterfall in the middle not frozen, said to have blue ice, not seen. You can take photos freely in front of the waterfall, it is recommended to shoot from a low position to capture the full view of the waterfall. Tips💡 ✨It is recommended to enter the scenic area at noon, you can see the sunlight through the forest sprinkling on the road, pavilions, benches, and warning signs, with the milky white snow on the side, the photos taken are too atmospheric. Don't rush to park in the parking lot, drive to the fence at the innermost. 🌟Since it's in the mountains, it is recommended to wear high-top boots and warm down jackets, gloves, hats, and ear warmers. Listen to me, it's really cold inside, freezing hands and face, especially after the shoes get into the snow, it's too cold for the feet. ❗️❗️Be careful when walking on the wooden walkway steps, there is thin ice that has been swept of snow, which is very slippery. ❗️❗️If you come by self-driving, make sure it's with snow tires, some sections have snow and ice. You can ride a horse or hike up the mountain. The horse riding fee seems to be about 100 for a round trip. We hiked for more than half an hour and took photos along the way!
