Tian Shan is one of the most stunning mountain ranges of China . Well-explained as the "celestial mountains", it is enclosed with snow throughout a year; the weather is sunny all the time, that is why the Tian Shan is believed to be pretty much reasonable.
The first Chinese international-level ski resort called as Ping-Tian, is being constructed in the Tian Shan mountains. The resort offers 5 lifts, tracks for professionals and beginners (at the foot of the mountain). Tourists will also have a chance to take a rest at the “Alpine” village which is situated at the resort. PingTian Resort is situated an hour's drive from the regional capital of Urumqi . Traditional tents but may lack comfort so visitors are often recommended to stay at Urumqi.
With a population of two million, Urumqi is western China 's most vibrant commercial and industrial city with 50 daily flights from major hubs such as Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, and Europe.
