Anjihai Grand Canyon: The Blood Vessels of the Earth

The Anjihai Grand Canyon, also known as the Hongshan Grand Canyon, originates from the Anjihai River 🌊 of the Yilianhabilga Mountain Glacier and forms a large-scale alluvial fan under the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains. Standing above the canyon and looking down, the west bank is a folded red layer landform, and the east bank is a gray vertical jointed mountain that looks like it has been cut by thousands of knives. 📍Location: Anjihai Grand Canyon, Shawan City, Tacheng District, Xinjiang ⛰️The Grand Canyon has a 🛣 winding mountain road that leads down to the bottom of the valley, and you can look up at the towering Grand Canyon from a low perspective relative to the scenic area☁️. This road leads directly to a coal mine and is connected to the bridge at the bottom of the canyon. It is generally not recommended to go too deep. ✨After years of erosion, the rock layers have long dissolved their colors into the rivers🏞️, and several colorful streams like ribbons gently cut through the earth. Check in and take photos ✅Eagle's Beak Cliff It is the most precipitous and steep cliff among them. Looking out from the commanding heights, you can have a panoramic view of the entire canyon! ✅Sunrise and sunset 🌇 are both super beautiful Watching the golden sunlight pouring down and kissing the cliffs, life is worth it! (Remember to check the sunrise and sunset times of the day in advance to avoid missing them) ✅Share a great camera position at the front of the canyon On the Buhong section of G312 National Highway, at the fork in the road 5 kilometers away from the scenic spot, turn left and drive 🚗4 kilometers to arrive. 🐾Route to surrounding attractions 👉Urumqi-Anjihai Grand Canyon-S101-Dukku Highway-Sailimu Lake (accommodation) 👉Urumqi-S101-Bai Li Danxia-Anjihai Grand Canyon-Pearl Night Market-Kuitun (accommodation) 🌟Tips ⚠️The scenic area has not been developed yet, there are only simple guardrails, be sure to pay attention to the safety of your feet❗ 🛣️The scenery along the Xinjiang Highway is also beautiful, especially S101 and the northern section of Duku Highway.
