For hundreds of millions of years, the countless fold belts left by the lateral movement of the earth's crust and the natural wind erosion and rain stripping have formed the undulating terrain and vertical and horizontal gullies of the Huoyan Mountain. Huoyanshan is really a mountain as its name suggests. Under the scorching sun, the red brown sandstone flashes, the hot air flow rises, and the clouds and smoke surround it, just like the flames of a big fire burning. With the high temperature of nearly 40 degrees, people feel the heat wave all the time. The Huoyan Mountain is hot and dry, and "flying a thousand miles away dare not come". But its mountain body is a natural underground reservoir dam. <br/>Grape Valley Alpine snow and underground currents provide rich water resources for the Turpan Basin, nourishing the oasis in the Gobi Desert. Among the rich products of the oasis, grapes are the most famous. Coming to Turpan is like being in the in the Kingdom of Grapes. The Grape Valley at the foot of the Flame Mountain is 8 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide at its widest point. A small stream flows through the ditch, and the hillsides on both sides are full of grape trellises. In the depths of the Grape Valley, the sun is covered by thick shade and the spring water is gurgling. The bunches of grapes are crystal clear, transparent and verdant. Turpan is a city of grapes. The dense vines form a green arch, covering the urban boulevard. The melons and fruits on the grape racks are fragrant, and the endless stalls are full of various varieties of grapes and grape products. The "Grape Festival" held since 1990 is even more grand, attracting countless Chinese and foreign tourists. <br/>Sugong Tower Sugong Tower is the most majestic tower among Islamic buildings in Xinjiang; Karez is a special water source, called "well channel" in ancient times. It has a history of more than 2,000 years and is a channel for drawing groundwater in arid land. Naturally, we will not miss the opportunity to visit Karez well. The water in Karez well is very sweet. We have never drank such pure water during our travels in Xinjiang. After drinking, we each filled a large pot... I don't feel so good, maybe because she is too famous and described as beautiful by various articles. When we are on the scene and the scenery in our eyes is not what we imagined, I feel a little disappointed. But when I drank the water from Karez well, the sweetness suddenly reminded me of someone saying, "Drinking the clear spring water from Karez well is the feeling of drinking Turpan."<br/><br/>Be careful, and then go shopping Keep your eyes open so as not to be tricked into remembering the same grapes. Grape Valley Scenic Area sells much more expensive than the market, so keep your finances safe.
