The charming Grape Valley is located in the Flame Mountain, 1 kilometers northeast of Turpan City. It is a canyon about 7 kilometers long from north to south and 2 kilometers wide from east to west. Artificial snow from Tianshan Mountain flows down the first people's canal, and the sound of flowing water adds youthful vitality to the grape valley. On both sides of the hillside, terraces are stacked on top of each other, and vineyards are connected together, lush everywhere, like a green ocean.
