URUMQI, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- Tourists have been forbidden from entering glaciers in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, authorities said on Thursday.

""Glaciers in the Tianshan Mountains have receded by 15 to 30 percent in the last three decades."" Chen said. ""And they will continue to retreat by 60 percent in the next 20 years, and by 80 to 90 percent half a century from today.""
To protect the city's water supply Wholesale Tyler Ennis Jersey , Urumqi banned tourists from the glacier back in 2006, but visitors manage to find their way into the area.
