Grape Valley near Turpan

2. Irrigation Canals

The Grape Valley is situated in a canyon, on the west side of the Flaming Mountains and 15 kilometers northeast of the seat of Turpan County in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is 8 kilometers long and 500 meters wide. On both sides of the valley are thick with trees like mulberry trees, apricot trees, peach trees, pear trees, poplar trees, willow trees, elm trees, and locust trees, all of which are arranged in order. Waters from springs flow into channels irrigating the 210-odd-hectare grape garden.
