Karez System

Reviewed By JeanWN - Singapore, Singapore

KAREZ: one of the three major projects of Ancient China; an ingenious system of boreholes in the desert at frequent intervals tapping into the underground cool glacial waters coming from the surrounding Tianshan snow capped mountains. The irrigation system supports the vineyards, loads of fresh vegetables, ‘hami melons” and the familiar watermelons too. The lush Gobi! One is able to go underground to view the tunnels where the water never seems to stop gushing along. Cool! Above grow grapes which are turned into green raisins (wind dried) and black (sun dried) the former being the better choice. The people here come from Eastern Europe, there are numerous ethnic groups settled here from the Uighurs, Kazaks, Han Chinese etc. Turpan's total of over 1,100 kanzai, run about 5,000 kms and is one of three of Ancient China's major projects

Flaming Mountains (Huoyan Shan)

Reviewed By KC_Melbourne - Melbourne, Australia

The Flaming mountain was renown for its red color, but it wasn't very red on the day I visited. Red mountains are not unique to this place in China. However this place is now populated with statues of the Monk, monkey and pig in the legend of " journey to the west". Visit before peak season if you can.
