Anjihai Grand Canyon Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Crossing half of China, I found the real version of the earth's rift
Crossing half of China, I found the real version of the earth's rift||The most shocking thing to me in Xinjiang is the Anjihai Grand Canyon
It's no less impressive than any current popular 5A
Unlike the beauty of the grassland, grandeur, wildness, and shock are its synonyms
The cliff with a drop of nearly 300 meters, the valley stretching for nearly ten kilometers
The winding river like branches, the eye-catching mineral soil like blood stains
Like a flowing abstract oil painting, quietly hidden in the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains
The point is that it has not been developed in large quantities and still maintains its original natural appearance
I declare that this is a severely underestimated wild spot in the whole Xinjiang
🚘How to get there?
Navigate to 'Anjihai Grand Canyon', about three hours from Urumqi
It is recommended as the first stop of the Yili Ring, take the S101 provincial road to visit the Danxia landform for a hundred miles, and stay in Kuitun after watching the sunset in Anjihai
📷【Photo spot recommendation】
➡️Eagle Beak Cliff: Navigate to the destination (the built scenic spot gate), continue forward for about 1KM and park, walk to the nearby cliff to take in the entire canyon, this is also the most dangerous and grand position in the entire canyon
➡️About 6KM away from the G312 National Road, you can see the white house at the fork in the road. The right straight is the navigation route, the left dirt road is the mining area road, and there are many cliff positions along the left. 🤫The car can be driven to the edge of the cliff (SUV recommended)
➡️Continue along the mining area road, there are many positions on the hillside where you can take big shots, no need for aerial photography, you can also go down to the bottom of the valley
➡️If you have plenty of time, it is recommended to watch a sunrise or sunset, the golden sunlight fills the entire canyon, super beautiful
🔖Tips
1. Bring a drone, the God's perspective can better experience the shock of the canyon
2. The scenic spot is under development, take advantage of it being free and more free to visit, hurry up
3. The wild spot currently only has simple protection, the cliffs next to the mining area road are more wild, be sure to pay attention to safety
4. The S101 Hundred Mile Danxia is worth a visit, it is recommended to include it in the plan
5. Kuitun food recommendation: Mingzhu Night Market Grilled Lamb Chops, Aini One Hand Grab
Anjihai Grand Canyon
The Anjihai River is one of the four major water systems of Shawan. The upper reaches of the river are known as Bajian Ditch, which originates from the main peak of the Yilianhabiga Mountain. It bursts out of the Tianshan Canyon near Tonggute, like a horse breaking free from its restraints, rushing a thousand miles, thus forming a grand alluvial fan at the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains. About seven kilometers north of Yuanxing Palace, the river cuts through the plain and hilly area, carving out cliffs and deep valleys, creating a rare geographical feature that combines plains, narrows, and deep gorges.

Anjihai Grand Canyon - also known as the Red Mountain Grand Canyon
The Anjihai River originates from the Tianshan Mountains and has carved through the mountains over the years, bursting out of the Tianshan Canyon near Tunggut and flowing swiftly like a horse breaking free. It forms a vast alluvial fan on the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains, cutting out cliffs and ravines, creating a rare geographical feature that combines plains, perilous passes, and deep gorges.
Traversing the Populus euphratica forest, the desert and snow-capped mountains are framed together.
A cliff with a drop of 300 meters, a rift valley that stretches for dozens of kilometers
Endless grasslands, herds of cattle, sheep, and horses crossing the road
