There are many famous tourist attractions in Kumul, Xinjiang, one of which is the Pine Pond. Pine Pond, 75 kilometers away from the Kumul downtown, is a splendid place to go sightseeing and skating. There are many famous archeologicalareas as well as a highland skating rink. The ice there, watered by the spring originating from Tianshan Mountains, is pretty smooth and clean without pollution. It is pleasant ot skate on it.
