Dushanzi Grand Canyon

The Dushanzi Grand Canyon, stretching 20 kilometers from north to south with a width ranging from 100-400 meters at the bottom and 800-1000 meters at the top, is a natural wonder in Karamay, northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. The valley walls are steep and rugged, having been carved by snow and rainwater over the millennia to form dramatic and spectacular folds. Known as a 4A-level tourist attraction and hailed as a "billion-year wonder of the unique realm" by China National Geographic magazine, the Dushanzi Grand Canyon is one of the top 100 most beautiful shooting spots in Xinjiang for shutterbugs. It is also a popular scenic spot that combines geological landscapes and interactive experiences for visitors, serving as the beginning point of one of China's most beautiful self-driving routes, the Duku Highway.
