According to the itinerary plan, after leaving the duku highway, we will continue all the way north along the G217 national highway to kanas.After a night of rest in the town of kuitun, early in the morning we drove down to the kuitun river, not far from downtown, to visit the kuitun river grand canyon, a pristine natural landscape comparable to the grand canyon in the United States.
Special geological environment has long been a special beauty.There are several grand canyons around kuitun city, kuitun river grand canyon, dushanzi grand canyon, anjihai grand canyon..., each canyon scenery are similar, but some are still the original ecology, some have been built star scenic spots, we chose the original ecology of the kuitun river grand canyon tour, although it is a wild scene, it seems to have some danger, but play free, shooting happy.
Kuitun river grand canyon is located at the north foot of tianshan mountain, the intersection of G217 national highway and G30 lianhuo highway, 20 kilometers from kuitun urban area, which can be navigated here.The canyon spreads out along a new highway, and you can stop at any time and run to the cliff for a view of the canyon.The wild and amazing, unexplored landscape, which is absolutely comparable to the grand canyon in the United States, without a ticket, excels us.
As a result of the tianshan mountain melting snow constantly abundant kuitun river, years of continuous erosion, in the original level land scoured out a hundred meters deep grand canyon,
winding dozens of kilometers.The wall of the valley is suberect in many places and cliffs are everywhere along the valley.Water on the wall of the valley, the wall carved into stone forest, strange and steep.The valley floor is flat and open, the beach is gravel all over, and the water meets and gathers, forming a beautiful picture scroll.
There are mines in the depths of the canyon, and the cars running back and forth on the cliffs and under the dirt road bring the dust flying under the cliffs, adding a bit of barbarism, but also let the dust covered cliff bottom more mysterious.The dust was so heavy that we gave up the idea of going down to the bottom of the cliff.
More play cross-country, bold across the roadside barbed wire, ran to the vertical cliff view, found that the formation of the ground at the foot of a lot of cracks, from the side of the cliff, found that here seems to collapse at any time, scared us to retreat back.Beauty is nice, but life is more important.
The grand canyon runs from north to south and is about 20 kilometers long. The valley floor is 100 to 400 meters wide. The shoulder of the valley is 800 to 1,000 meters wide.The wall of the valley is nearly vertical, with cliffs everywhere along the valley.Ravines and ravines cascade, strewn at different places, snow mountains, valleys,
grasslands, water set against each other, days.
In the upper reaches of the quiet kuitun river, there is a ravine like carving. Through the roaring of the river for millions of years and the erosion of rain and snow, it has become a marvelous spectacle of water erosion. The cliffs on both sides of the river show us a breathtaking picture of natural history.
In the geological conditions of sand and gravel accumulation, the cuitun river valley overhanging wall left densely woven gullies, rill gullies, cut gullies, the gullies are covered with dozens of kilometers of valley trough wall, the right side of the valley along the extension of artificial channels.Tianshan fantasy - xinjiang kuitun river grand canyon
