A Must-Visit in Aksu, Xinjiang | The Kekoya Memorial Hall

There is a Kekoya Memorial Hall in Wensu County, Aksu, Xinjiang. Kekoya is one of the origins of Aksu apples. It can also be considered the birthplace of Aksu apples, because without Kekoya, there would be no green mountains and clear waters in the Aksu region today. The Kekoya Memorial Hall mainly displays the story of the people in the Aksu region establishing windbreaks and afforestation. Originally, Aksu was a large area of saline-alkali land where trees struggled to survive, and life was quite difficult for the people. With their hands and limited mechanical equipment, they transformed the saline-alkali land, built canals, and managed to keep the fragile saplings alive. Many of the older generation participated in this, and the stories from that time are very touching. It is recommended that everyone visiting Aksu should take the time to visit the memorial hall. ✅ Travel Tips: The memorial hall has guides, and you can understand the general history by looking at the pictures. You can also stand on the tower to overlook the greenery surrounding the memorial hall. Next to the memorial hall is an apple orchard, which currently has green fruits. There are irrigation canals in the orchard, with water flowing, witnessing the spirit of Kekoya as a generation struggled and worked hard to benefit future generations. 📍 Address: Kekoya Memorial Hall, No. 72 Nanhu Road, Wensu County, Aksu Region, Xinjiang 🚗 Transportation: Suitable for self-driving 🎫 Tickets: Free ⌚️ Opening Hours: It is recommended to consult the scenic area
