About 10 kilometers south along the Dokku Highway, turn right and cross the wide Gobi Beach for about 15 kilometers to reach the Dushanzi Grand Canyon, a well-developed scenic area.
Similar to the geomorphology of the Andjikai Grand Canyon, there is a wide alluvial fan at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, on which the Kuitun River washes out a canyon about 1000 meters wide and 200 meters deep. The cliffs on both sides of the valley are upright and the gray-black pebble soil is lifeless, as if it were moon soil.
Rainwater or snow melt forms fine streams that scour downward along the vertical fissures of the river banks, forming numerous fine scouring ditches. The residual columnar earth, densely packed, stands in the gullies, shaped like ghosts standing solemnly. The gorge leads deep into the Tianshan Mountains, with no end in sight, as if it were the road to hell.
