Xia Te Grand Canyon Scenic Area is 75 kilometers away from Zhaosu County. On the way, you need to cross the Xia Ta Ancient Road. Because they are all located on the beautiful Xiatai grassland, we call it Xiatai and Xiater, and Mongolians are used to calling it. It is the transliteration of "Shatu Aman", which is the transliteration of Xiata, which means steps and steps. The Shata Ancient Road reached its golden age in the Qing Dynasty, especially after the quelling of the Zhungeer Rebellion, the exchange of officers and soldiers and the exchange of materials with the southern border became more and more frequent. To this end, Emperor Qianlong also sent 120 Dabaqi households to be stationed in the vicinity. Every day, 20 people cut ice ladders. The purpose is to cross the Tianshan Mountains and reach Ili if there is an accident. We can still see the ice at the ice Daban. Traces of the ladder. Shiata Hot Springs only begin to flow in mid-June every year, and dry up in mid-November. According to the measurement in mid-September 1993, the temperature of each spring water is different, and the highest temperature is 45 degrees. It is measured that this hot spring water has reached the standard of drinking mineral water. It is said that drinking the water from this hot spring can cure all diseases. In front of this mountain is known as the "Father of the Tianshan Mountains" - the side peak of Khan Tengger Peak. The snow on it does not melt all year round, and it is also the main water source of the Turks River and the Shata River.
