2025 Wusu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Crossing half of China, I found the real version of the earth's rift||The most shocking thing to me in Xinjiang is the Anjihai Grand Canyon It's no less impressive than any current popular 5A Unlike the beauty of the grassland, grandeur, wildness, and shock are its synonyms The cliff with a drop of nearly 300 meters, the valley stretching for nearly ten kilometers The winding river like branches, the eye-catching mineral soil like blood stains Like a flowing abstract oil painting, quietly hidden in the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains The point is that it has not been developed in large quantities and still maintains its original natural appearance I declare that this is a severely underestimated wild spot in the whole Xinjiang 🚘How to get there? Navigate to 'Anjihai Grand Canyon', about three hours from Urumqi It is recommended as the first stop of the Yili Ring, take the S101 provincial road to visit the Danxia landform for a hundred miles, and stay in Kuitun after watching the sunset in Anjihai 📷【Photo spot recommendation】 ➡️Eagle Beak Cliff: Navigate to the destination (the built scenic spot gate), continue forward for about 1KM and park, walk to the nearby cliff to take in the entire canyon, this is also the most dangerous and grand position in the entire canyon ➡️About 6KM away from the G312 National Road, you can see the white house at the fork in the road. The right straight is the navigation route, the left dirt road is the mining area road, and there are many cliff positions along the left. 🤫The car can be driven to the edge of the cliff (SUV recommended) ➡️Continue along the mining area road, there are many positions on the hillside where you can take big shots, no need for aerial photography, you can also go down to the bottom of the valley ➡️If you have plenty of time, it is recommended to watch a sunrise or sunset, the golden sunlight fills the entire canyon, super beautiful 🔖Tips 1. Bring a drone, the God's perspective can better experience the shock of the canyon 2. The scenic spot is under development, take advantage of it being free and more free to visit, hurry up 3. The wild spot currently only has simple protection, the cliffs next to the mining area road are more wild, be sure to pay attention to safety 4. The S101 Hundred Mile Danxia is worth a visit, it is recommended to include it in the plan 5. Kuitun food recommendation: Mingzhu Night Market Grilled Lamb Chops, Aini One Hand Grab

Xinjiang Travelogue📝Anjihai Grand Canyon|||Check-in→The Torn Earth-Anjihai Grand Canyon Urumqi-3H-Anjihai Grand Canyon-3H-Stay in Bole【Private Car】 🗺️Location: Located in Anjihai Town, Shawan City, you can navigate directly (the scenic area is undeveloped, free, with intermittent signal📶) Due to its remote location, it's not very convenient to buy things nearby, so it's recommended to bring some dry food (there are some mobile vendors on the platform, offering cold noodles, fruits🍉🍈, coffee☕, ice cream🍦, kebabs🍢, etc.) The driver accidentally took us down to the bottom of the canyon first (about 7 kilometers away from the scenic area there is a fork in the road, the left is down to the canyon, the right is the platform overlooking the canyon), whether standing on the mountain top platform looking down into the valley, or looking up from the valley floor👀, you can see the splendid colors, the canyon stretches for more than a dozen kilometers, stunning! 📸Shooting suggestions: 1️⃣Bring a drone, the God's eye view is very impressive. 2️⃣Be sure to choose a sunny day, as the weather affects the lighting, which is key to whether you get good photos. ⚠️Scenic area precautions Because the soil is quite loose and the safety facilities are not well established (basically none), the danger level of this scenic area is quite high, so be very careful when shooting, and don't get too close to the edge of the cliff!😱 🚾It's a dry toilet (it's recommended to take care of it at the service area on the highway)! Impressive and majestic, making this the perfect first stop on the Ili loop tour.

🏞️ Hidden in the vast lands of Xinjiang, there lies a masterpiece of nature—Anjihai Grand Canyon. It is not as well-known as other attractions, but it is this low profile that makes it a sacred place in the hearts of nature lovers. 🎨 Nature seems to have poured all its colors here. After billions of years of water erosion, the colors of the rock layers have dissolved into the river, forming a stream as colorful as ribbons, gently cutting through the earth, creating a vibrant oil painting. 🌄 From the sky, Anjihai Grand Canyon reveals its unique charm—'red mountains, dark cliffs, green peaks, and clear waters' reflect each other, offering a strong visual impact. 🕐 Best time to visit: From June to October each year, during the summer and autumn seasons. At this time, the climate is suitable, and the scenery is most enchanting. 🚗 Transportation tips: Depart from Urumqi, take the Lianhuo Expressway to the Shawan exit, then follow the G312 national highway westward, passing through Huanghe Road, Hongshan Road, and Buhong section, and you will arrive in about 3 hours. 📸 Must-visit spots in Anjihai: 1⃣️ Eagle Beak Cliff: This is the most dangerous and steep cliff in the canyon. Standing at a high point, you can have a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery of the entire canyon. 2⃣️ Sunrise and sunset: The golden sunlight sprinkles on the cliffs of the canyon, and at that moment, you will deeply understand what 'worthwhile beauty' means. (Don't forget to check the sunrise and sunset times in advance) 3⃣️ Perfect photo spot: On the Buhong section of the G312 national highway, turn left after the 5 km fork in the road from the scenic area and drive for 4 km, and you will find a perfect spot to photograph the canyon. 🌟 Travel tips: ①⚠️ Since the scenic area is not yet developed, there are only simple guardrails, so be sure to watch your step when visiting! ②🕶️ The summer sun is intense, so sunscreen, sun-protective clothing, and sunglasses are essential. ③🛣️ The scenery along the Xinjiang highways is breathtaking, especially the S101 and the northern section of the Duku Highway. Consider adding them to your route planning. ④🤳 If you carry a drone, you will be able to capture even more stunning images.

The moment I saw it with my own eyes, I was truly deeply moved! The majestic canyon terrain, the colorful rock cliffs, with red, brown, and yellow interwoven, it's like a natural giant mural, stunningly beautiful. The best time to visit the Anjihai Grand Canyon is during the sunset and the hour before it, as well as the twilight after the sunset. If you come too early, the sunlight will be very harsh, and it will seem like a different place compared to the daytime, with the scenery looking spectacular but quite ordinary. It is recommended to learn about the local weather and road conditions in advance and make thorough preparations. At the same time, it is also important to protect the environment and avoid littering.

The Anjihai River is one of the four major water systems of Shawan. The upper reaches of the river are known as Bajian Ditch, which originates from the main peak of the Yilianhabiga Mountain. It bursts out of the Tianshan Canyon near Tonggute, like a horse breaking free from its restraints, rushing a thousand miles, thus forming a grand alluvial fan at the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains. About seven kilometers north of Yuanxing Palace, the river cuts through the plain and hilly area, carving out cliffs and deep valleys, creating a rare geographical feature that combines plains, narrows, and deep gorges.

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☁️.

# China's first season # is not in Xinjiang, I don't know how big China is. Less than Xinjiang does not know how beautiful China is. This time with the sneak innovation mini and Duo Rui came to Kanas in Xinjiang. Morning morning mist shrouded the mountain, giving the village a mysterious atmosphere.

I have seen many aspects of the world, but what impressed me most is the Anjihai Grand Canyon in Xinjiang. It is a dangerous and dangerous natural territory. We spent twice the trip to see it. it. The first time I went to the Anji Sea, I was slowly moving forward in the fog. The visibility in front was only 20 meters at most. We were the only lights on the road, and the roadside was over. Ice trees and grass, a piece of white, like walking into a huge white celestial body. When I arrived at the Anji Sea, the fog still blocked everything. We were only 10 meters away from the cliff. The second time I went to Anjihai, I had already done a good night's sleep waiting for the fog. I prepared a dry bottle and bought a bottle of white wine. Walking along the old road, the entrance is still filled with white fog. The car is halfway up and the sky is gradually clearing until it opens to the gorge cliff. The red and gray mountains in the distance are clear, behind the snow and mountains, standing on the edge of the cliff, perpendicular to the ground. More than 400 meters, the surface runoff is faintly visible, and two small humans stand in front of this canyon and become ants. Photo Guide: 1 The grandeur of the Ji'an Jihai Grand Canyon, the drone angle is the best embodiment. Although Xinjiang can't be used in many areas, it can be used to quietly fly. 2 The snow-capped mountains in the distance are more independent in the sun. 3 Don't forget to take the texture of the bottom of the canyon and draw natural paintings from nature. The most thrilling picture of the 4 eagle eagle cliffs is that the drone can only be photographed 45 degrees down from the front. 5There is also a good visual impact on the plane that turns in the road.
