【The Mysterious Tianshan Realm: The Aksu Wensu Grand Canyon】

The Wensu Grand Canyon was once an essential part of the ancient Muzart trail, a historical route through the Tianshan Mountains, locally known as 'Kuduroluk Grand Canyon', which in Uyghur means 'thrilling and mysterious'. The Wensu Grand Canyon is characterized by geological relics and landscapes represented by rock salt karst topography and canyon yardang landforms. Formed over millions of years through the combined effects of floods, rainwater erosion, and strong winds, it boasts rare ancient rock salt geological wonders, unique yardang geological oddities of Western China, and a unique giant karst erosion geological mystery, earning it the reputation of being Xinjiang's 'living geological evolution history museum'. The grandeur of the canyon is immense, with the developed area of the gorge stretching about 10 kilometers in a north-south direction, with the widest part measuring approximately 200 to 300 meters, and the narrowest sections only wide enough for one person to pass through. The area is unrestricted for flying, and you can also purchase a self-driving ticket (four-wheel-drive SUV) for 100 yuan per vehicle.
