Xinjiang Tianshan, Mountain range and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Xinjiang, China.
The Xinjiang Tianshan mountain system extends over 2,000 kilometers with peaks reaching 6,000 meters in elevation, featuring glaciers, meadows, and lakes.
The mountain range served as a natural corridor along the Silk Road trade routes, connecting Central Asia with China through merchant caravans for centuries.
