"Turfan Attractions"
1, grape ditch
Speaking of Turpan, you have to mention the grapes here, although every household here grows grapes, but the grapevine is the most famous. Grape Valley is a national five-A scenic spot. It is located 11 kilometers northeast of Turpan City. It is about 8 kilometers long from north to south and 2 kilometers wide from east to west. It is a canyon under the flame mountain.
Tulufan's summer is notoriously hot. In August, basically every day, the temperature is above 42 °C, sometimes even up to 47 degrees, and the surface temperature of the flame mountain can reach 80 to 90 °C. It is called "boiled eggs in the sand nest".
But on both sides of the grapevine stream, the vines are all over, and the vines are layered and green. Surrounded by dense poplar forests, flowers and trees are dotted among them, and the farmhouses are arranged on the gentle slopes. The grape ditch has become the "peach flower source" of Huozhou. This contrast is like hope in the hopelessness of the sky, and people can't help but feel heartfelt.
2, Kumutage Desert
The Kumtag Desert is located in the eastern part of Xinjiang and south of Shanshan County. It is connected to the southern section of the East Ring Road of the Old Town of Shanshan and is part of the Taklimakan Desert. The Kumutage Desert Scenic Area is one of the few deserts in the world that is in close contact with the city. The main constituent elements of the Kumtag Desert are not sand dunes but sand mountains. Kumtag is the “shashan” in Uighur. The meaning. Standing in the old town of Shanshan, looking south, the golden desert is magnificent and infinite. It has been obsessed with the oasis for thousands of years, and it is like a loyal lover, giving people endless reverie.
3, Jiaohe Old City
Located on an island-shaped terrace 13 kilometers west of Turpan City. Because the river flows around the city, it is called the Jiaohe River. It was the capital of the former country of the 36th country of the Western Region. Jiaohe The old city is the largest and oldest preserved earth-building city in the world. It is also the most complete urban relic in China for more than 2,000 years. The Anxi Dufu, the highest military and political institution in the Tang Dynasty, was first established in the Jiaohe Old City.
Standing in the old city of Jiaohe, you will be deeply impressed by the magic of Turpan, the world's largest "aircraft carrier." A huge ruin stands in two rivers, leaning against this natural danger, making Turpan able to stand in history.
4, Kaner Well
Kan'er Well is my most amazing project, and I think it is the project that best represents the spirit of Xinjiang. It is a special irrigation system in the desert area, which is common in the Turpan region of Xinjiang, China. The Kaner Well and the Great Wall and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal are also known as the three major projects in ancient China. The total number of Kaner wells in Turpan is more than 1,100 and the total length is about 5,000 kilometers. In the hot Turin Basin, when the outside temperature is forty-eight octaves, the underground temperature will be maintained at more than 20 degrees, which is very cool, while the Kaner well is usually farmland, and there is green in the Kaner well. It is like a green belt. It traverses the magical land of Turpan.
In some areas of alluvial fan terrain in Xinjiang, the soil is mostly gravel, and the water permeability is very strong. After the snow water dissolves on the mountain, most of it infiltrates into the ground and the groundwater is buried deep. In order to extract the water that has penetrated into the ground and provide irrigation for the plain area, it is convenient to excavate the well. The well channel technology has been applied in the construction of the Longshou Canal. The working people in Xinjiang have attracted the construction experience of the well channel method and cited it under new geographical conditions to create a new type of irrigation engineering.
There are some stories about historical celebrities such as Lin Zexu and Kaner Well. If you want to explore these, you can experience and experience it yourself.
5, Flame Mountain
If you haven't been to Flame Mountain, you have never been to Turpan. The Flame Mountain is located on the northern edge of the Turpan Basin, the northern section of the Ancient Silk Road. It consists mainly of the Jurassic, Cretaceous and Tertiary red-red sands, conglomerates and mudstones of the Mesozoic. The locals call it “Kyzyl Taga”, which means “Red Mountain”. Flame Mountain is the hottest place in China. The highest temperature in summer is 47.8 degrees Celsius, and the highest surface temperature is above 70 degrees Celsius. The eggs in the sand nest can be cooked. The famous TV series "Journey to the West" is here to shoot.
6, Gaochang Old City
Gaochang City began in the first century BC and was built by the Putian troops in the territory of the former Han Dynasty. The Ruins of the Old City is located near the seat of Hala and Zhuoxiang, about 40 kilometers east of Turpan City. It is about 6.5 kilometers away from the Kugougou Mouth (Shengjinkou) in the south of the Flame Mountain, and about 55 kilometers east of the Shanshan County. In March 1961, it was first announced by the State Council as a national key cultural relics protection unit. In 1988, it was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
In fact, Xuan Zang is called "Yu Di" not because he and Li Shimin have a half-money relationship, but in the Turpan Basin, there have been four regimes established by Han Chinese, Xuanzang And the Wentai here became a brother. The buddy fully funded Xuanzang West to go to India and wrote a letter to West Turki Khan asking him to protect Xuanzang. Nowadays, many surnames are derived from this .
Tulufan's fruit is very sweet. It is a city that is not south or north. It is more complex and the bloodline is more focused on the Mongolians. This is also the Uighurs here more like Mongolians. the reason. A Turpan history is roughly the history of a Western Xinjiang, and the history of a Xinjiang can be interpreted as a history of the Silk Road, the history of the Eurasian continent, if you want to explore a real Turpan and fall in love with it, then It is the best choice to come here and feel it for yourself.
