Turpan's Grape Valley truly lives up to its reputation; it's definitely worth a visit! Upon entering Grape Valley, you're immediately enveloped in a refreshing coolness, a stark contrast to the scorching heat of the Flaming Mountains outside—a veritable haven of tranquility in this "land of fire." Everywhere you look, there are layers upon layers of grapevines, like stepping into a green fairytale. The vines are laden with clusters of tempting grapes, including hundreds of varieties such as seedless white, mare's milk, and red grapes, each one intoxicatingly sweet. The seedless white grapes, in particular, are crystal clear, crisp, sweet, and incredibly high in sugar. Here, you can also deeply experience the rich Uyghur culture. The hospitable Uyghur people will invite you to sit under the grapevines, taste freshly picked grapes, and enjoy their captivating song and dance performances. The performers, dressed in vibrant traditional costumes, twirl and leap, showcasing the charm of the Western Regions. The scenic area boasts comprehensive facilities, making it a complete complex integrating dining, accommodation, sightseeing, vacationing, and shopping. And with free admission now, it offers exceptional value. Whether you're coming to taste delicious grapes or experience unique ethnic culture, Grape Valley won't disappoint. I'll definitely come back again next time!

The Millennial Wonder of "Green Never Retreats, Sand Never Advances" Who says deserts can only be barren? The Kumtag Desert has been adjacent to Shanshan City in Xinjiang for millennia, forming "the world's only desert connected to a city"🌆! The sand dunes here have graceful lines like a maiden's spine, shimmering with golden ripples under the sunlight—every snapshot is a masterpiece📸! Legend has it that it's a remnant of the Flaming Mountains, passed by the Tang Monk and his disciples, carrying the legendary color of the Silk Road~🗺️ 🌅 Sunset: The Desert's Golden Hour After 6 PM, the desert begins its "cooling performance"! We recommend climbing to the top of a dune to watch the sunset paint the sand sea into a gradient of orange and red🎨. Light and shadow dance on the sand ridges, the shadows growing longer and longer, leaving only the sound of the wind and your heartbeat in the world—remember to wear a red or white dress! When the wind lifts your clothes, you'll be snapping photos non-stop! (Friendly reminder: Sunset time is approximately 9:30 PM in summer and 6:50 PM in winter. Please check in advance! ⏰) 🚙 Sandboarding Experience: Desert Roller Coaster + Soul Massage A must-do! The off-road sandboarding experience is incredibly thrilling! The driver takes you on a 60-degree descent into the sand dunes, the feeling of weightlessness is comparable to a roller coaster 🎢, and the billowing sand spray looks like a golden waterfall! You can also try sandboarding, sliding down a hundred-meter sand slope – pure fun!

This scenic area is a bit small, and I finished it in less than an hour, but it was quite interesting to see the various structures of the Karez. Parking is very convenient, with a large parking lot at the entrance. It is also located in Turpan City, making it easy to drive.

This scenic spot combines science and fun. It's not large, but the scenery is beautiful, especially the section from the museum down to the culvert. The whole area is full of exotic atmosphere. The grape corridor is full of various grapes, and the water at the outlet is icy cold, perfect for summer heat relief.

The Kanerjing source in Jiaoheyi is super interesting! You can see the source of the ancient underground water conservancy project with your own eyes. It's like an adventure to drill a tunnel. It's so cool in the summer that you don't want to come out! There are also post station ruins and grape trellises in the scenic area. It's just right to play for 1 hour. It's niche but worth checking in!
