[Self-driving Xinjiang, the most beautiful road, flying life, Dushanzi Grand Canyon] In Xinjiang, in addition to the Kuqa Grand Canyon, there is also a Dushanzi Grand Canyon, which is not known by too many people. Here is the location of the movie "Flying Life" and the TV series "Kyushu". Located 28 kilometers south of the Dushanzi District, Karamay City, Xinjiang, it is in an undeveloped state and has the most original desolate beauty. After the river rushes out of the Tianshan Mountains, it cuts the sloped plain in the southwest of Dushanzi, and melts the upper reaches of the Kuitun River in Dushanzi. After hundreds of years of snow and rain, it forms a magical canyon. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon have formed a unique scene after years of glory, like a clay wall with different shapes. With the special geographical location, the first 5D crystal glass suspension bridge in Xinjiang is located in the scenic spot. There are also thrilling projects such as Grand Canyon swings, high-altitude bicycles, and skywalks. Address: 100 meters east of 250 County Road, Dushanzi District, Karamay City
