The Anjihai Grand Canyon in Xinjiang is located in the geological fault zone at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain, west of Anjihai Town, Shawan County, Tacheng District, Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, which is more than 0/00 kilometers away from Urumqi/KLOC. The Grand Canyon, which runs from north to south and is about 30 kilometers long, is a "masterpiece" of natural erosion by snow and water in Tianshan Mountain.

Anjihai Grand Canyon, starting from Urumqi, take Wukui Expressway, Shawan/Anjihai exit, drive westward along G3 12 National Road for about 40km, pass by the entrance of Anjihai Zanthoxylum Market and Botong Ancient Resort, and you will see a big T-junction after 2-3km. There is a gas station on the southeast side of the intersection, which can go 50km south to Hongshan old coal mine.

Extended data:

Anji Haihe River originated in Tianshan Mountain. After years of scouring, it rushed out of the Tianshan Canyon near Tonggut and formed a large-scale impact fan under the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain. The impact fan in the valley is very big and opens northward in an umbrella shape, which is called a geological wonder.

The colorful colors of Anji Sea Grand Canyon come from mudstone, siltstone and sandstone in different strata. Affected by geological faults, red sandstone and mudstone are large in area and widely distributed, and the mountain is red. Due to the difference in altitude and topography, these rock formations show different colors in different areas.

Anjihai Grand Canyon is famous for its risks. It's as if the Grand Canyon was suddenly torn open on a flat land, and the feeling of the sky falling down is roaring. The widest part of the valley bottom is 1000 meters, and the narrow part can only accommodate two or three meters of waterway. The river flows around the valley like a shining dragon.
