Snap' Description

For the traveler seeking absolute architectural solitude and a highly unique visual look at old Urumqi's sunrise lines, this hidden linear track delivers an exceptional off-the-beaten-path escape. Winding smoothly along the sheer purple-red mudstone cliff edges of upper Mt. Hongshan away from the central plaza souvenir stalls, this bluestone trail leads to an uncrowded wooden terrace looking down at the high skyscraper lines.
