Explore the Kalpin Grand Canyon

Keping Grand Canyon is a typical Danxia landform, nearly 20 meters before entering the canyon. Several kilometers of Gobi desert, gravel, saline-alkali land and subsidence areas abound, so you should pay special attention to these when driving. The canyon is relatively flat and has a gravel beach landform. Pay attention to avoid big stones, and ordinary four-wheel drive off-road vehicles can pass.

Keping Grand Canyon, located in Keping County, Aksu, is a secret place of Tianshan Mountain that was discovered only in recent years. It is the Danxia landform eroded by wind and rain, and it is as bright as a flaming mountain from a distance. However, it is not easy to enter the hinterland of the canyon, and it is necessary to cross the endless shale Gobi and soil saline-alkali land.

Keping Grand Canyon is a stream canyon washed out by rain, and the mountains on both sides are not covered with any vegetation. In case of rainstorm, the water level in the canyon will rise rapidly or form flash floods, so we must pay attention to the weather changes and choose the right time to cross.

The landform of Gobi Valley at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain is characterized by high soil viscosity and strong corrosiveness. Dust adheres to the inside and outside of the vehicle to form a mud shell, which has a great influence on the air intake system of the vehicle and will also cause corrosion to the paint surface. Flaky gravel is extremely destructive to tires, and sometimes even cuts the bottom of tires, resulting in complete scrapping of tires. It is recommended to choose the road carefully, equipped with double spare tires and rescue equipment.

Driving in the desert requires some experience and skills. In addition to locking the four-wheel drive, it is necessary to reduce the tire pressure in advance and prepare desert rescue equipment such as off-road jacks or multi-vehicle travel to take care of each other.
