Experience the wild yet gentle beauty at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

I. Overview ❤️ The Tianshan Grand Canyon, also known as the Wensu Grand Canyon, is located in Wensu County, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang. It is a unique red planet wonderland in China. This area combines various landforms, including salt rock karst, Danxia, and Yadan, and is a perfect blend of glacial snow peaks, red-layered canyons, and desert landscapes. Hundreds of millions of years of natural weathering have created the magnificent spectacle of ochre-red rocks, which is truly awe-inspiring. II. Must-See Highlights ❤️ 🌟Visual Feast of the Canyon: The ochre-red rocks resemble burning flames, and the wind-eroded canyons carve out a city of mountains. Walking through them feels like being on Mars. 🌟Magnificent Scenery of Western China: Known for its Danxia geological wonders and rock salt karst landscapes, the canyon boasts vibrant colors and extraordinary grandeur. III. Tickets and Transportation ❤️ 🎫Tickets: CNY 36 per person, CNY 18 per person during the off-season. 🚗Transportation: Self-driving or chartering a car is recommended. Four-wheel drive vehicles are necessary for self-driving. Shuttle bus services are available within the scenic area, operating in a loop with multiple stops. IV. Tour Routes and Suggestions ❤️ 🎈Main Valley Tour: Enter from the main entrance and explore the "Sichuan"-shaped main valley on foot or by car. 🎈Branch Valley Exploration: Based on your time and interests, choose several branch valleys to explore. Hiking and taking photos in each valley may take a considerable amount of time. ✅Photography Spot: Valley No. 6 (Thousand Mountains Valley) is highly recommended. Its landforms closely resemble the surface of Mars, making it an excellent location for photography. V. Tips ❤️ ✅Clothing Suggestions: Wear long pants and a windproof jacket.
