Although there is not much vegetation, it is brightly colored. Winding up along the canyon, there are parallel stone layers on both sides. Due to the differences in color, thickness, particle size and cement composition of each layer of rock, from a distance, the valleys on both sides are like huge bookshelves full of books. In winter, the desolate atmosphere of the wilderness is more obvious, as if there is no land for people, excluding people thousands of miles away.

The mysterious "Tianshan Grand Canyon" is a canyon in the Kizilia Mountain, a branch of Tianshan Mountain, which is a reddish-brown rock formed by the wind and rain erosion of nature for hundreds of millions of years. The reddish-brown mountains soar into the sky, like clusters of burning flames under the sunlight.

The canyon is winding and secluded, with dense caves, different mountain shapes, peaks reaching into the sky, ditches in the ditches and valleys in the valleys.

On one side of the canyon is the weathered "clay sculpture" on the cliff, and on the other side is the grazing of sheep on the grass next to the canyon. This scene is like an abstract oil painting. The whole canyon started from the foot of the mountain and formed an obvious soil layer on the grassland. But the colors are mainly gray and black. There is a lot of snow in the canyon, but when passing through these soils, the water is turbid with sediments. Rain and snow collected on both sides of the valley also slowly flow in the ancient Kuitun River Road, forming small pools, and various minerals dissolved in the pools make these pools appear different colors and colorful.
