Red Hill
is a symbol of Urumqi, which is called as "the eyes of Urumqi ". The body of the mountain, made up of aubergine rock, has a reddish brown color, hence, the name Red Hill.
The hill is 1.5 kilometer long, 1 kilometer wide from east to west and 910 meters above sea level. This reddish-brown hill is dotted with small pavilions and at the top stands a nine-storied, gray-brick pagoda called Zhenlong Pagoda (Pagoda to Suppress Dragons), 8 meters (26.3 feet) high, facing Yamalike Hill.
Today, Red Hill has been developed into the beautiful Red Hill Park. Modern entertainment facilities and ethnic performances bring a fresh and lively atmosphere to the park. On the peak of Red Hill, you will have the whole city of Urumqi before your eyes!
