Turpan Karez Folk Park | A water conservancy miracle from a thousand years ago.

|A water conservancy miracle from a thousand years ago. 🌱 Karez, one of the three ancient water conservancy projects in China, not only solved the irrigation problem in arid areas, but also turned the desert into an oasis, becoming a model of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Purely man-made. Melted snow from the Tianshan Mountains is channeled to Turpan to irrigate the vineyards. The melted snow is clear and warm! It's warm down in the well! The water here is drinkable. It's better than spring water! No wonder the local fruit is so delicious! Melted snow from the Tianshan Mountains is used for irrigation! It takes three generations to dig a well! The locals have great respect for the well diggers! You can enter any shop for free and be treated as a VIP! Because the wells are purely man-made, the hands and feet of the diggers are severely worn. They deserve respect! Turpan is full of vineyards! There is a karez irrigation system. The water and soil here are excellent. 🔍 Karez Source: The water source and origin of the karez (take the elevator to 50 meters underground) and experience the thousand-year dialogue between water and stone. 🏞️ Karez Folk Park: A tourist attraction that integrates sightseeing, shopping, and vacationing. There are not only physical displays of the karez, but also a folk street, a folk hotel, vineyards, and other rich tourism resources. 📚 Karez Museum: You can learn about the history, structure, and principles of the karez through vivid displays. There are also a large number of pictures, models, and physical displays to help you gain a deeper understanding of this ancient and magical water conservancy project. 🎟️ CNY 40/person, add CNY 100 for a professional guide, and learn about history and wisdom! 🚌 Public transport or self-driving is very convenient!
