My Life FIRST|Exploring the Secret Realm of Dushanzi Grand Canyon in Xinjiang, a Must-Visit!

🌟 Dushanzi Grand Canyon is located within the Dushanzi District of Karamay City, Xinjiang, 28 kilometers south of the urban area. There is a path accessible by vehicles. The canyon floor is 100-400 meters wide, the canyon shoulder is 800-1000 meters wide, and the height from the canyon floor to the shoulder can reach 200 meters, with an elevation of 1070 meters, belonging to canyon landforms. 👍 After the river water flows out of the Tianshan Mountains, it cuts through the inclined plain in the southwest direction of Dushanzi, forming a magical scenic canyon. The terraces on both sides of the canyon are clearly visible, with at least nine levels. The terrace surface is desert grassland, growing wormwood, needlegrass, and other plants. Within Dushanzi, the Kuytun River flows through the nearly north-south oriented Dushanzi Grand Canyon. The ancient canyon cliffs are steep, and the water at the bottom sometimes splits and sometimes merges. The canyon shoulder surface is desert grassland. Standing on the canyon shoulder and looking into the distance, a typical grand canyon scene unfolds before your eyes. The snow water and rainwater from the Tianshan Mountains flow down, forming alluvial gullies in the soil here, carving out these unique landscapes on the canyon walls. The canyon starts from the foot of the mountain, forming distinct soil layers on the grassland. However, the colors are mainly gray and black. The snow water in the canyon is abundant, but when it passes through these soils, it becomes very turbid, carrying silt. ❤ The 186-meter-long Duku Grand Glass Bridge is one of the best viewing and photography spots in the canyon, and it is also a popular site for many educational tour groups. The bridge surface is nearly 200 meters above the canyon floor, clearly showing the geological layers of the canyon cliffs. The bridge surface is made of high-strength special glass, which creates a shattering effect when stepped on, very realistic. ✅ In the summer, the grand canyon has a bit more sunshine flavor and is adorned with more flowers. Viewing the grand canyon from different angles adds a touch of charm. The Dushanzi Grand Canyon in summer is so quiet yet passionate. Because it is far from the city and free from light pollution, the canyon is perfect for stargazing at night.
