Prefer Jiu Zhai Gou and Chang Bai Shan over Tianshan. Its rather polluted as it was near Urumqi. Its nice but nothing spectacular.

We drove into areas I don't think many tourists go, where the indigenous people live and tend their herds. Still, areas are well taken care of so that you can walk in the natural surroundings, and the roads are remarkably well-maintained.
One of the few times during my travels in China where you could see blue skies and the sun!...

Worth the time and effort to visit this area. Must go place for shutterbugs.
