Xinjiang Wensu Grand Canyon Nanny-level Travel Guide

Wensu Grand Canyon is about 50 kilometers away from Aksu city center. Actually, I went there the day before, but the weather was bad, so I went again to avoid regrets. However, after the visit, I still felt very regretful, as there were many places I didn't get to. There was also not enough time, and I didn't go inside the canyon to take pictures, which made me feel even more regretful. This place is suitable for spending a whole day. Those who like hiking can also come here, as it is said that it takes about 6 hours to walk through each canyon. Wensu Grand Canyon is known as the most beautiful scar on Earth. It mainly includes Canyon No. 2, 3, 4, and 6. Hiking route: 4-3-2-6 This is also the track for the Tour of Tashkurgan rally race. Because the soil is loose, the requirements for vehicles must be quite high. Don't even think about sedans, only off-road vehicles will do. From the visitor center, take the shuttle bus to Canyon No. 4, where there is a plank road to climb. Climbing to the highest point, you can see the entire fissure with the background of the highest peak of the Tianshan Mountains, offering a very shocking view. The weather was very good when we took the shuttle bus, and the tour guide said it would rain in an hour. It's really not surprising, as having four seasons in one day is too normal in Xinjiang. Sure enough, when we left, we saw the sun hanging in the sky, and then it started to rain. The Salt Valley is said to be very beautiful too, but unfortunately, it was flooded and we didn't get to see it. So, I recommend that if you are not in a hurry, stay nearby for one night. There are homestays 4 kilometers into the canyon, and even the food is not expensive. Although we didn't stay, we had a meal at the homestay. Their pilaf is super delicious. I've also checked the prices for you: pilaf 20, vegetable-covered noodles 18, grilled meat 15, mixed noodles 15, and naan pit meat.
