Tianshan Mysterious Canyon in Kuqa is located on the Dushanzi-Kuqa Highway about seventy kilometers from the Kuqa county seat. This canyon is famous for its russet rocks formed by wind and rain over millions of years. The mysterious Aay Grotto which is about two kilometers from the canyon entrance was built during the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
The peaks and rocks are in various shapes, which arouse your imagination. Different lights in different time add to the charm of the gorge. At sunrise, sunset as the wind gets up, as mists rise or sounds echo, as light and shade shift and change----its mystery and strangeness is beyond words. The gorge is indeed a good choose for Photography.
