Karez Heritage Area - China Travel

introduce

Karez well is the source of nourishing the oasis of Turpan. It has been flowing for thousands of years. Karez well, known as one of the three major water conservancy projects in ancient China, is also a unique cultural landscape of Turpan oasis.

Location: The Karez inheritance area is located in the northwest of Gaochang District, Turpan10

Kilometers, only four kilometers away from Turpan Tourist Service Center, away from the high-speed railway station

Kilometers, close to the expressway, convenient transportation, close to sand therapy institute, Jiaohe ancient city, located in the core distribution area of Turpan scenic spots.

Wudaolin, where the Karez inheritance area is located, is also one of the areas where Karez is concentrated in Turpan, and belongs to the upper reaches of Karez in Turpan. The unique location advantage determines that there is an "authentic" Karez well here, and the four major elements of Karez, including vertical shafts, underground channels, open channels, and flood dams.

Four major themes:

First: Karez

On the basis of protecting the natural culvert, for the convenience of sightseeing, we widened and lengthened the tourist passage, and in the passage you can also see well-preserved shafts and culverts. For tourists to fetch water for drinking, enhance the experience of tourists. At the same time, in the form of films, reliefs, texts, sculptures, objects, etc., it is equipped with advanced sound and light equipment, sound pictures, and texts to show tourists the construction principles and history and culture of Karez Well in an all-round and three-dimensional way.

Second: Grape Culture Corridor

Turpan's unique natural environment has created our famous grape culture at home and abroad, and it is also a must-see element in Turpan. As a unique irrigation system in Turpan, Karez itself is inseparable from grapes. There is a grape culture corridor in the scenic area to introduce and display the rich and diverse local grape varieties to tourists. In addition to the grape corridor for tourists to visit, the scenic area also has another25

Acres of grape land can be used for tourists to experience grape picking activities and enhance tourist interaction.

Third: Karez Heritage Exhibition Hall

In the exhibition hall, there are not only the sand table of the Karez well shaft, but you can see the magnificence of the Karez well project at a glance. There are also Deng Gong Hall, Lin Gong Hall, Zuo Gong Hall and Military Reclamation Cultural Hall, which tell about our nation in an all-round way in the form of sound, picture, text and physical display. Heroes Lin Zexu, Zuo Zongtang and the military reclamation culture have a relationship with Karez, and they have made contributions to Karez, a great water conservancy project. Education inherits the spirit of Karez.

Fourth: Jiangjunlin, a leisure area for singing, dancing and performing arts

That is where we are now, next to the grape corridor, in the woods, surrounded by open channels, where tourists can enjoy singing and dancing, taste melons and fruits, and experience the unique ethnic cultural life in Xinjiang.

Features: Therefore, our Karez inheritance area has four characteristics: richness, originality, education and experience. These four characteristics are fully reflected in the four themes of the scenic spot.

The entire scenic spot is rich in elements. While committed to protecting Karez and carrying forward the cultural spirit of Karez, it also enhances fun, sightseeing and interaction, and highlights the theme of red education.

Karez, in ancient times there were ancestors, heroes, and great men for the benefit of future generations. Today, our generation inherits and protects it. It is not only the Karez inheritance area, but also the Huoyun Valley scenic spot introduced above. Since its development and construction, our company has been adhering to the protection, The concept of inheritance and development is committed to digging deep into Turpan's natural landscape and cultural heritage, to be a responsible and responsible enterprise, and to make our best efforts for the construction of a beautiful Xinjiang and the development of Turpan's global tourism. At the same time, I hope to have the opportunity to communicate extensively with our leaders and colleagues in the tourism industry in Hunan, and make our own contribution to the development of tourism economy in Hunan and Xinjiang.

Overlooking the Turpan-Hami Basin from the air, you can see that there are strings of concave mounds on the Gobi Desert. This is Karez, which is called "Karez" in Xinjiang Uighur. The Karez inheritance area shows Uyghur culture and its ancient wisdom, and it is still very worth visiting.

Karez means well hole, and it is a special irrigation system in desert area, which is common in Turpan area of Xinjiang, China. Karez, the Great Wall, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal are also known as the three major projects in ancient China. I went down to Karez in Turpan to experience this ancient irrigation project. It feels like I am in the only university of the Ministry of Metallurgy, the Gold College, in Dandong Wulong. It’s the same as taking the elevator down to the gold mining underground mine during the gold mine practice, except that the Karez Well is a water delivery irrigation system, and the gold mine is full of gleaming ores that have not been refined into gold

Karez, the Great Wall and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal are known as the three major projects in ancient China. There are nearly a thousand Karez wells in Turpan, with a total length of about 5,000 kilometers. The structure of Karez is generally composed of four parts: vertical shaft, underground channel, surface channel and "laoba" (small reservoir). The Bogda Mountain in the north of the Turpan Basin and the Karawucheng Mountain in the west have spring and summer seasons. A lot of snow and rain flowed down the valley and dived under the Gobi Desert. People use the slope of the mountain to skillfully create Karez wells to irrigate farmland with subsurface flow. Kaner does not evaporate a large amount of water due to heat and strong winds, so the flow is stable and gravity irrigation is guaranteed. Karez was recorded as early as in "Historical Records", and it was called "jingqu" at that time. Most of the existing Karez wells in Turpan were built successively since the Qing Dynasty. Today, there are still large areas of oasis fertile land being watered. Wudaolin Kanerjing in the suburbs of Turpan and Karez in Wuxing Township are available for sightseeing.
