The Aksu Regional Museum is in the urban area, and can fully understand the history, humanities, geography, etc. of Aksu. The museum is large, green, high architectural level, exquisite cloth, rich in content. The first time you come to Aksu, you must come to the place. The road opposite the museum is Gumo Pavilion, which is a humanistic attraction that understands the history of Aksu vertically and can be visited together.

Ticket-free entry. Just after going to the nearby distribution center to check the through train, come and stroll. Is this rebuilt Gumo Pavilion the previous embassy station? Now it is like a park, the gate city building can go up to the second floor, but there is no scenery. On the other side of the river, there are floating rafts lined, blue sky and white clouds, small bridges and high-rise buildings. On the other side is a square that looks like the ancient city of the West Region, but it is empty and there is nothing to look at.

Gumo Pavilion is a humanistic attraction of Aksu, free, in the Dolang Park, Aksu old time divided into Wensu and Gumo two parts, now Gumo Pavilion is rebuilt, in order to commemorate the past history reconstruction.

Along the Duolang River all the way, suddenly found this pavilion, originally Aksu used to be called Gumo, as an important stop on the Silk Road, Gumo Pavilion also reflects his past historical value. The location is actually very good to find, if you have visited the Aksu Regional Museum, then opposite the Aksu Regional Museum, not far from this pavilion.

On the 119th day of self-driving tour of China, I came to Aksu from Kashgar in the past two days. When I was preparing to continue to reach the Kuqa icon and then take the Duku Highway, Xinjiang was more strictly controlled due to the rebound of the epidemic and the frequent occurrence of heavy rain in summer. Many scenic spots were also closed. Although this season is the peak tourist season in Xinjiang, it is best for friends who plan to come to Xinjiang to pay attention to the public numbers of each region or scenic spot first, check the opening hours and epidemic prevention policies, so as not to run in vain. There is an important attraction on the way to Kuche in Aksu City. The icon of the Wensu Grand Canyon is still available when I go the afternoon before yesterday, but the weather is not good and it rains in the valley. The staff reminds me that I can’t stay too long. I can’t enter by two cars. I can only take the scenic spot off-road. I think the scenery is not good. I decided to enter again the next day. As a result, the scenic spot was closed directly because of the flood the next day. I had to return to Aksu and wait, because many scenic spots such as the north section of Duku Highway, Tianshan Canyon, Nalati Grassland and other scenic spots have been closed due to weather or epidemics recently, and arriving early is also waiting. In Aksu, I transferred to the museum, Gumo Pavilion, Duolang Park, Populus euphratica Park and other attractions, and I have some understanding of the history of this area. The Aksu Museum is still worth a visit. There is an introduction to the Buddha caves. It is a "preview" of the humanistic landscape of the subsequent itinerary. Xinjiang area was mainly Buddhist until the 10th century, and then Islam was introduced. Under the forced promotion of the ruling class, it was not the people's independent choice. The museum also has an introduction to Daolang culture. There is a Tianmen mysterious canyon on the way from Kashgar to Aksu. Because of the rain and water, there is also an Artush Tianmen in the north of Kashgar. Aksu except for the Wensu Grand Canyon, there is also the Tianshan icon mysterious Grand Canyon. These places are Yadan landforms, and the landscape is similar. The name is also easy to confuse, if you want to go, you have to navigate clearly. On Baidu map, the location of Tianmen Mystery Canyon is inaccurate, a few tens of kilometers away, but there are road signs on the Wuhong Line and the high speed. Now waiting in Aksu City, I hope to wait for the end early and get on the road as soon as possible.
