Tianshan Mysterious Grand Canyon

大雨……

The valley side is strange peaks, competing to rise; the peaks are stacked and magnificent. The huge red mountain group has been eroded by wind and rain for hundreds of millions of years, and the torrent has formed a crisscrossed and orderly ridge and trench. It looks like a picture from a distance, and it looks like a human being. It is like a dream. Ticket 40, just met the event half ticket, very cool

Kuche Temple

琳毛毛虫

The attractions are not big, but the cultural connotation is extremely deep. It is necessary to have a certain knowledge to be able to see it. There are few people, parking is very convenient, and there are not many tour groups. It is a very worth punching in. Recommend a friend to come next time

Kuqa Big Nang City

jeania

Kuqa Daxu is very famous, and the southern Xinjiang is indeed the best here. The ticket for Daxu City is 20 yuan, and there are not many things to see inside, but the open-air singing and dancing performance is very sincere, and you can also take a photo with the beautiful young lady who dances.

Subashi Ancient City

merly

It is worth a visit. It has been baptized by wind, frost, rain and snow for thousands of years and still stands tall. It is the best preserved pagoda in the whole southern Xinjiang. You can see the texture and material of the building. There are also some faces of temples. You should know that most of what we see in southern Xinjiang are earthen mounds or buried under yellow sand. There is a common problem in the ruins in southern Xinjiang. The introduction is casual and simple. There is not even a word on the layout map of the Subashi ruins temple

Kizil Ga Ha Ruins Bongsudae

As a part of the world cultural heritage Silk Road: Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor, it is quite meaningful to go and see it in person. The tickets are very cheap, and it just so happens that there is a half-price discount during the Double Eleven event, only seven yuan.

The Qiuci Wei and Jin Dynasty Tomb Museum is a sunken museum built on the original site. With the help of digital 3D technology, it fully reflects the governance of the central government. It provides important evidence for retelling history!

最美不过路上的风景

Kuqa Grand Canyon Geopark, a grotto was discovered by local shepherds in April 1999, and was named Aai Grottoes. Aai Grottoes are located about 1.5 kilometers from the mouth of the Keqiria Canyon. The Grand Canyon of Keqiaria, which is located in the grotto, is washed by seasonal floods. The mountain is steep and deep. The widest part of the valley is tens of meters, and the narrow part is only for one person to pass. The grotto is located on the cliff wall on the north side of an open area in the valley. The mountain where the cave is located is red sandstone and loose. The cave is about 30 meters high from the surface. People have built a spiral ladder on the mountain in front of the cave to go directly to the cave. The cave is rectangular, vertical coupon top, first-order stacked, there is a altar in the center, is a worship cave. The statue is not there, most of the murals have fallen off, the remaining murals are concentrated on the left wall, the left coupon abdomen, the front wall, and there are a few murals on the right wall. The total is about 15 square meters. Left wall painting pharmacist glazed Buddha, Wenshu Bodhisattva, Lushena Buddha and Thousand Buddhas; the wall painting on the right side and the left wall are basically the same, between the ink book list; the original painting of the xian robs the thousand Buddhas and a large number of ink books and Han literature list questions, most of which have fallen off and have not survived; There are no murals in front of the cave. The cave mural is rich in content, the characters are rich in body, full cheeks, five-official coordination, and peaceful face. It uses white, green, brown, light and other colors to outline the dizzy dyeing. The mural color, content, technology and other aspects are different from the style of Guizi, and have a strong Central Plains cultural characteristics. Due to repeated burglaries, only a small number of mural fragments, stone sculptures and mud-plastic relics were unearthed. The area where the grotto is located is an important iron and copper-making place in the ancient Guizi area. It is the main road for nomadic people in the ancient north to enter the southern Xinjiang, and it is also an important commercial road through Tianshan. The construction of the cave is closely related to the Tang Dynasty in the Anxidu Hufu Town, the village of the west, and the Tuntian. Aai Grottoes are a rare typical Hanfeng Grottoes in the Guguizi area. The murals are exquisite, rich in content and distinctive techniques. It provides new clues to study the history, politics, military and culture of the Western Region.

Kizilya Scenic Spot

小高旅行笔记

📍 Geographical location: Keqilia Shengjing is located 64 kilometers north of Kuqa County, Xinjiang, surrounded by mountains in the south of Tianshan Mountain, a place full of mystery. The Tianshan Grand Canyon here, also known as Keqilia Grand Canyon, means "red cliffs" in Uyghur. The whole canyon is like a dragon splitting the mountain, the wind and the rain, mysterious. It is composed of huge red-brown mountain groups, which are directly inserted into the sky, under the sun, like a cluster of burning flames, people can not help but sigh the magnificence and magic of nature. Entering the canyon, at the foot is the gravel road flowing with silk streams, and the valleys are scattered by the sun on both sides. The color of Danxia Mountain presents beautiful colors in the diagonal sun. The valley is twisted and twisted, the peak circuit turns, step by step, and the eyes are interesting. The spring water is dinging, the birds are singing, as if they are in a paradise, and people forget the troubles of the world. What is even more amazing is that it is 1400 meters deep from the valley mouth and about 35 meters high on the cliff wall. It was built at the site of the Thousand Buddha Cave in the Shengtang Dynasty. The murals in the grottoes are beautifully colored and the image is realistic. It is the only grotto in Xinjiang that intactly retains the Central Plains culture. It is also a pearl on the ancient Silk Road gold tourism line, which makes people sigh the deep integration of history and culture. If you love exploring and taking pictures, this is definitely your best choice. Every scene is like a beautiful picture, and it is lingering.
