Shuimogou Scenic Area
Urumqi, China
2-3 hours
About
Fed by natural mountain springs, the year‑round unfrozen Shuimo River runs through wooded valleys. It combines natural streams, ancient pavilions, Qingquan Temple, Hanwen Ridge stone carvings and historic water‑mill relics. Cooler than downtown, it serves as a popular urban oxygen bar for local leisure.
Travel Tips
- Accessible by city bus, taxi or ride‑hailing; no advance reservation needed
- River‑side paths get damp; wear non‑slip shoes
- Keep quiet inside Qingquan Temple; dress modestly for religious venues
- Do not wade into deep river water for safety
- Bring drinking water; retail outlets are scattered
- Take sightseeing carts to save energy for large‑zone wandering
