Closest glacier to a major city .The Bogda Shan range is part of the eastern Tian Shan mountains east of Ürümqi. The highest elevation is Bogda Peak, at 5,445 m. Urumq is at the foot of this glacier and people can enjoy the view of these snow capped mountains all year round.

Snow can be a beauty as well as a beast. A snow storm hits Urumqi now and the temperature plummeted below minus 10°C.


Police cars are sent to pick up pedestrians stuck in the snow

Urumqi city government built heated glass house at bus stops so passangers can wait for their buses in those winter shelters and stay away from the freezing cold outside.
