From Kuqa County along the Duku (Dushanzi to Kuqa) highway, about 10 kilometers north, there is a jagged mountain body on both sides of the highway. Although it is not more than 20 meters high, the peak of the mountain is like a knife, sloping to one side, full of tension. The bottom of the mountain is hardened with white saline, which is the famous "salt water ditch". This is a free roadside attraction. When the sun goes down, the backlit mountain peaks show a golden border. The scenery is very charming, and it is a good place for Xinjiang geological tourism.

It is gray brown, it is khaki yellow, it is brown red, and it is dark green, mainly because they contain different mineral elements. The scenery here is also unique in Duku Road. After this, there is no strange stone with teeth and claws, and there is no magnificent imagination. Salt water ditch is like fruit ditch, not developed, and still the original model.
