Xinjiang|Anjihai in winter, a wonder of nature

Some people say: "God did not take Van Gogh away, but left him in Xinjiang, in a certain section of the Anjihai Grand Canyon." It is called "the rivers and canyons flowing out of modernist abstract paintings" and is the source of color hidden in the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains. The two sides of the Anjihai Canyon are formed by faults of red, yellow, blue, green, brown and purple gravel. Judging from the rock type and geological age, the brick-red valley wall belongs to the Cretaceous strata 140 to 190 million years ago, while the gravel strata are the latest Quaternary. After tens of thousands of years of wind and rain erosion and water scouring, the uncanny workmanship of nature has created the colorful and deep valley of Anjihai, which gives people great visual impact and shock! I didn’t expect that the Anjihai Grand Canyon in winter is also spectacular! ! ! 💰Tickets: Free 🚗Transportation Guide: Driving from Urumqi for about 3 hours, and the journey between Dushanzi and Anjihai for about 1 hour 💡Itinerary Recommendation💡 Dushanzi Grand Canyon: The filming location of "Speeding Life", and there are also attractions to experience Kuitun: After shopping, you can come here to eat, hot pot, snacks, pilaf, barbecue are all available. 💡 Recommended places to visit💡 1️⃣ Observation deck: There is an observation deck at the top of the canyon, where you can overlook the entire canyon and the winding river. 2️⃣ Valley bottom: Go to the bottom of the canyon to appreciate the spectacular scenery of the canyon, including rivers, cliffs, and strange rocks. ❤️Tips When going to Anjihai Grand Canyon, be sure to choose the weather and road conditions carefully Shoot in a safe place, don’t stand on the edge of the canyon❗❗
