1. Flaming Mountains: Feel the passion of the “Flaming Land”
The Flaming Mountains lie on the northern edge of the Turpan Basin, composed mainly of red sandstone, conglomerate, and mudstone from the Mesozoic era. Under the scorching summer sun, the mountains glow fiery red with waves of heat, hence the name. This is also the setting of the story “Sun Wukong Borrows the Palm-Leaf Fan Three Times” from Journey to the West. The scenic area features related sculptures and a cultural corridor, making it perfect for photos.
Travel tips:Summer ground temperatures are extremely high, so it’s recommended to visit in the early morning or evening. Be sure to take sun protection and hydration measures, bringing a sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and plenty of drinking water. The scenic area mostly has walking boardwalks, so wear comfortable shoes.
2. Karez: Explore the “underground canal”
The Karez is an ancient underground irrigation system used in desert regions, considered one of China’s three great ancient projects alongside the Great Wall and the Grand Canal. Turpan has over a thousand Karez wells with a total length of thousands of kilometers, serving as the lifeline of local oasis agriculture.
Structure exploration:It consists of four parts: vertical shafts, underground channels, surface canals, and small reservoirs (laobao), which effectively reduce water evaporation and channel Tianshan meltwater to the surface for irrigation and daily use.
Recommended scenic spots:
Jiaohe Post Station · Karez Source:You can take an elevator down to the bottom of a well about 60 meters deep, with multimedia interactive displays for an immersive experience.
Turpan Karez Paradise:Features a Karez museum that demonstrates how the system works through models and real objects.
Karez Folk Custom Park:Combines Karez, folk streets, and vineyards, letting you experience local culture.

Grape Valley is located northeast of Turpan city center, a canyon about 8 kilometers long from north to south. With its unique climate, it produces over a hundred varieties of grapes and is known as the “World Grape Botanical Garden.” Besides the vineyards, the valley also features raisin drying houses and other sights, making it an excellent place to experience Turpan’s “sweet life.”
