The treasure at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, 'the veins of the earth'—Anjihai Grand Canyon!

🏞️ 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.
