Kuqa and Wensu Grand Canyons | Finally, someone has explained how to play.

⛰️Kuqa Grand Canyon (P1-11) | 🎫40r (10:00-20:00) Also known as the "Tianshan Mysterious Grand Canyon", it is located in the southern section of the Duku Highway, and you can pass the "Duku Highway Terminal" landmark to check in. You can also buy delicious naan in Kuqa City that night. You can't drive by yourself, there is a helicopter 🚁 experience, you can also take a shuttle bus or pay for a camel ride (200-300r round trip). The whole journey is about 2-3km, and the play time is 3h+, and the original road is in and out. Because of the narrow terrain, it means a bit of Antelope Valley. The disadvantage is that pedestrians have to keep giving way to camels, and dust is flying. ⛰️Wensu Grand Canyon (P12-14) | 🎫36r (9:00-20:00) Also known as the "Tianshan Tuolmu Grand Canyon", it is located in Wensu County, Aksu. You can drive by yourself (SUV) or take a shuttle bus (💰60r), it is recommended to drive by yourself, it will be more free, you can drive to places without restrictions (but try to follow the rut, if the car is trapped, the towing fee is several hundred), you can also rent a off-road vehicle at the entrance of the scenic spot. There are 6 canyons, and the play time is 3h+. 🟤Canyon style: Both are magnificent and colorful, and you can see the continuous red-brown mountains before entering the scenic area. But Wensu⛰️ will be more vast, rough and primitive than Kuqa Canyon; Kuqa Canyon is narrow and long, and it will be more beautiful. We went to the two canyons during the peak season, and the feeling is that Wensu will be relatively few people, and it is suitable for people who like self-driving; Kuqa Canyon is more suitable for the elderly and children, and it is not as hot as Wensu, but there are many people, and it is difficult to avoid the crowd if you want to take pictures. If you have enough time, it is recommended to go to both (the two are 300km apart, and most of the self-driving in southern Xinjiang will pass this line) If you choose one of the two, I will choose Wensu Canyon. ❤️Tips: ▫️Both scenic spots have no toilets and shops, and supplies are ready before entering The canyon is unobstructed, and sunscreen is done on sunny days. ▫️Check the weather forecast in advance, the color of the mountain is better on sunny days, and it may be closed on rainy days. ▫️The scenic spot has a sandy and rocky ground, you can climb the plank road, and it is more convenient to wear outdoor shoes and pants. 🎨Coloring reference: The color of the mountain looks good with the naked eye, The weather may not be so bright. You can refer to the P1 filter idea, more western (P14|15 No filter, can be compared) Brightness -30 Contrast +15 Light +10 Highlight +10 Dark part -15 Clarity +30 Oil painting +20
