Kuqa City, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is located in the middle of the southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and the northern edge of the Tarim Basin. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south, sloping from northwest to southeast. It is rich in heat, has a dry climate, scanty precipitation, hot summers and dry and cold winters.

, with a total area of ??15,200 square kilometers.

The following is a travel guide to Kuqa.

Recommended attractions 1. Kizil Grottoes Highly recommended!

There are not many people in this place even during the Eid al-Adha festival!

A group of 10 people followed the free volunteers to listen to the explanations. Some of them were Uyghur girls. You could also hear Mandarin with an accent?, but they spoke very well!

You can visit about 6 caves.

In addition, the vista seen from the high steps is so beautiful!

The construction of the scenic spot is also great. If it weren't for the lack of place to live in the surrounding area, I would have loved to stay here in a daze!

Tickets: 702. Experience of the Kuqa Grand Canyon: It was probably the last day of the Eid al-Adha festival, and there were a lot of people in the Kuqa Grand Canyon. Finding a place to take photos was also a problem. Secondly, this canyon was a bit laborious, and I entered at 12 noon.

Yes, I feel hot and tired after walking. If you can, please go in earlier, or simply go in at 4pm!

I also saw people riding camels. I personally don’t think it’s necessary, but if you want to experience it, you can try it. I don’t like the taste of camels very much!

Later, it started to rain when I was about halfway through the walk. I was speechless and had no place to hide, so I evacuated!

However, taking photos here is still very photogenic!

But seriously, I think it’s better to see the canyon from the road outside? Tickets: 40 yuan 3. What I want to strongly recommend in Kuqa, the old town of Kuqa, is actually a hotel? Golden Sunshine Hotel, where you can wash clothes, shine shoes, and soak your feet.

It's free!

But don’t think too much. There is no responsibility for drying the clothes. The waiter will send them back to the room and you can dry them yourself. For foot soaking, you will be given a small foot soaking bucket with plastic bags and medicinal ingredients for foot soaking!

but!

The service is good enough at a price of around 200 in Xinjiang, and there is also free breakfast!

Pretty good!

Restan Old Street is the old town of Kuqa. It is very interesting and you can see the colorful doors. Xinjiang friends are really good at life!

It's a pity that I was in a hurry and went there early in the morning. Although it wasn't hot, everyone didn't get up, and there was no humanistic atmosphere. I felt that it would be good to take pictures if I went there around 7 o'clock in the evening!

It is recommended to walk into the alley for a unique experience!

Kuqa Temple strongly recommends!

It’s not far from Restan Old Street, so you can go shopping there together!

Compared to the Id Kah Mosque in Kashgar, I prefer this second largest mosque in Xinjiang. It is very quaint and the ticket price of 15 is much more reasonable than the one in Kashgar. However, I went too early and it was not open.

You can take a look outside!

Outfit suggestions: You can wear cowboy style or cool girl style in Kizil Grottoes and Kuqa Grand Canyon, it’s super cool!

Kuqa Old Town is casual, and you can’t go wrong with a white dress!

Food Guide: Zaipal Food City!

you deserve to have!

The kebabs are delicious!

!

Just don’t order yogurt rice dumplings? This food is probably the same everywhere, it’s scary sweet and tastes weird!

Ordering meat won’t cause any trouble!
