Kyrgyzstan really doesn't charge admission fees.

The Kok Moinok Canyon is located in the Tianshan Mountains of Kyrgyzstan. The terrain looks very similar to Xinjiang, perhaps because they are in the same mountain range. The canyon is a bit far from the city, so we chose to join a local day tour to get there. It took about an hour to reach the canyon, and the rural scenery along the way was very good. After getting off the bus, we had to walk for another 20 minutes to reach the Grand Canyon. The canyon here is free (in fact, most attractions do not require tickets), and there are no traces of artificial development. The whole way is pure dirt road, very primitive. The depth of the canyon reaches 1500 meters, the peaks are steep, and many cliffs have no guardrails, so you must be careful when walking. If you can drive by yourself, it is actually recommended to camp in the canyon. Because the entire canyon is particularly large and there is no human life to disturb. It is said that there are many rare animals and plants in the canyon, including snow leopards, brown bears, goats and other wild animals, as well as various alpine plants. There are also many hot springs and mineral springs here, so it's actually good to come in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Kok Moinok Canyon is also a famous ski resort in Kyrgyzstan, attracting a large number of ski enthusiasts to challenge every year. After seeing the domestic unified planning, all the scenic spots have wooden fences. The experience of free exploration here is very interesting. I can't say how good their attractions are compared to Xinjiang, Sichuan, and Tibet in China, but it's really worth a visit.
