What to visit in Anjihai Grand Canyon?

The reddish cliffs resemble thousands of sharp swords pointing to the sky. Only bushes survive on the waste precipice, adding a dash of green colour to the ravine. The blue or pale yellow river running through the valley is the vein of this land, creating an undulating landform. Years of erosion have made the hills around the Anjihai Grand Canyon look like undulating plains.

Originating from the Tianshan Mountains, the Anjihai River is one of the four major river systems in Shawan, the upper reaches of Anjihai River is Bajian stream. The river rushes out of the Tianshan canyon and creates a large red alluvial fan, a fan-shaped accumulation of deposit and sediment.

At the bottom of the valley, the Anjihai River quietly flows between the almost-vertical cliff walls, leaving shiny marks on the banks, in stark contrast to its powerful strength that had originally brought this canyon to life.
