There are 40 famous scenic spots in the mysterious Grand Canyon, such as Deep Valley, Tiantong Cave, Tian Xuan Castle and Jade Girl Spring. New attractions, such as the King Tota, Valley Gate of General Town with Long Nose, Penguin Valley Landscape, etc. It also appears in the sight of tourists.
Tongtiandong
Above the 100-meter cliff, there is a hole that goes straight into the sky. According to legend, during the Tang Dynasty, 12 Han monks from the Central Plains went to the western regions to preach and learn from the scriptures, and climbed mountains and mountains all the way across the desert. After many hardships, I came to Qiuci and entered the Grand Canyon and Tiantong Cave when I was looking for the sacred mountain of Buddha. From then on, the feather became immortal and ascended to heaven.
Treasure cave
Legend has it that when Genghis Khan sent troops to the western regions, the ancient king Qiuci fled with the treasure, and the nobles of the king hid in the Grand Canyon and sealed the cave to avoid the raid of the Yuan army. In the 1960s, two brothers went into the valley to look for treasure, found the treasure cave, and took the treasure away from home, leaving only the remains of a wooden ladder that had rotted under the cave. Later, people kept going to the valley for treasure, but they never found the second treasure cave. It was only by accident that the sites of iron smelting and copper smelting in Han Dynasty were found on the slopes on both sides of Gukou.
Yuniuquan
In the depths of the canyon, close to the top wall of the cave about 8 meters high and 4 meters wide, the spring water drips all the year round. In winter, water droplets form ice and condense into huge icicles with narrow upper part and wide lower part, weighing about 1000 kilograms, which are crystal clear. Every March and April, the ice gradually melts, just like a girl posing in various postures, which is wonderful, so it is named Jade Girl Spring.
The beautiful Tianshan Grand Canyon
When you come to Xinjiang, you must go to Tianchi and Tianshan Grand Canyon. Take time this time, take a trip as soon as you leave, and travel with a group for a day, don't worry!
Tianshan Grand Canyon is more than 40 kilometers away from Urumqi, making it the first choice for a day trip. It leaves at 8: 30 in the morning. This tour group is organized by individual travelers, and it is also because summer is the peak season for tourism in Xinjiang, and cars are sent to the Grand Canyon every day!
Sure enough, dozens of buses have stopped in the scenic area, and buses all over Xinjiang are covered with parking lots. After getting off the bus, I first felt a wide field of vision, surrounded by an oasis of green grass.
At present, the words "Tianshan Grand Canyon" appear, and the iconic gate looks like two swans kissing.
Take the bus to the scenic spot through the door. Along the Panshan Highway, there are steep peaks on both sides, snow-covered spruces and dense jungles all over the mountains.
Ling Xue spruce migrated from Qinghai-Tibet Plateau 40 million years ago, which is a unique forest in northwest China. A coniferous perennial tree. Vigorous and tall, evergreen and endless, it is a unique tree species in Tianshan Mountain.
Tianshan Grand Canyon is a valley in the middle of Tianshan Mountain. The majestic Tianshan Mountains divide Xinjiang into southern Xinjiang and northern Xinjiang. Tianshan Mountain is the sacred mountain in Xinjiang and the Mother Mountain. Its snow water nourishes the children of all ethnic groups in the north and south of Tianshan Mountain.
Along the way, the shuttle bus runs sharply from left to right. Twelve lakes, interlocking and different in shape, one after another. The largest is the Sweet Water Lake, just like a fairy. The quiet Shu Ya is waiting for people to wait and see and miss. Snow-capped mountains and streams rush along these lakes. About 9 kilometers later, I came to the first scenic spot "Zhaobi Mountain".
Zhaobi Mountain, located in the middle of Tianshan Mountain, is an alpine canyon in Kalou. The mountain runs northeast-southwest and is more than 600 meters above sea level. The spruce in the snow-capped mountains is tall and dense, with green grass. The stream at the bottom of the valley is gurgling, and the water quality is cool and sweet. Zhaobi Mountain is surrounded by water on three sides. Because of the sunshine, the river is bright and the mountains are more magnificent. Because it resembles the old aristocratic residence, it is called "Zhaobi Mountain". Now it is a national 5A-level natural tourist attraction.
One of the highlights here is the landscape waterfall about 70 meters wide. Above is a quiet lake, a spectacular sight after a drop of 10 meters. The rushing lake drops rapidly, which is suspected to be the momentum of the Milky Way falling for nine days. Standing on the bridge, the water drops on my face, like raindrops hitting my face, are so cold. Walking under the waterfall, thunder resounded through the sky and people could not hear clearly. The lake here is the Fairy Lake, which makes people really come to the fairyland!
This is Joya Mei Duo. Grassland has ups and downs, and spruce in hilly areas connects heaven and earth in the distance. Standing in the tourist rest area, the lake is as bright as sapphire. That's Swan Lake. I'm coming!
The lake is blue and small, surrounded by mountains and open grasslands. People either take a walk by the lake, or sit on the edge of the grassland to have a rest, or take pictures. Someone is on the high slope over there, rest and look!
Suddenly I heard the music, and a group of Uighur aunts danced Xinjiang dance. Beautiful melody and graceful dance attracted a large number of tourists to watch. This is the characteristic of local minorities. They sing and dance when expressing happiness, when their children get married, and when there are festive festivals. This kind of music and dance cells are cultivated from an early age. Therefore, men, women and children can jump.
I don't like excitement, especially in this quiet place by the lake. I'm not used to it and don't want to go there. So a man ran to the mountain not far away and chose a place to sit in the sun and rest and watch the scenery.
Looking at the lake not far away, the water surface is clear, the vegetation is lush, the sky is pure and blue, and the clouds are clear, so I forget the sadness in my mind and immerse myself wholeheartedly. That music has drifted away, no longer disturbed, no longer heard!
It is said that there are four seasons in the mountain and ten miles are different. It was sunny just now, but soon the dark clouds overwhelmed and it began to rain. I quickly ran to the bottom of the arbor of the tourist service center to hide from the rain and followed the bus back to Zhaobi Mountain. It cleared up after lunch. With physical strength, you can climb mountains. The part of tourists climbing the mountain is very short, and it ends halfway up the mountain.
I walked along the wooden steps and soon climbed to the end. I saw waterfalls, rolling mountains, several houses, and cars like boxes (all buses, private cars are not allowed). Tourists are scattered in the scenic spot, and not many people can be seen. On the contrary, there are more people waiting for the bus to eat in the shop. There are mountains, lakes, waterfalls, spruces, grasslands and high slopes in my eyes.
When I came here, I felt cool, with rain, springs, mountains, grasslands, scattered cattle and sheep, breeze, water drops under waterfalls and Kazakh enthusiasm.
