Kaner Well, the Great Wall and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal are also known as the three major projects in ancient China. The total number of Kaner Wells in Turpan is nearly 1,000, and the total length is about 5,000 kilometers. The structure of Kaner Well is composed of four parts: shafts, underground channels, ground channels and "bam" (small reservoir), Bogda Mountain in the north of Turpan Basin and Karawucheng Mountain in the west, with a large amount of snow and rain flowing down the valley in spring and summer, diving into the Gobi Beach. People use the slope of the mountain to cleverly create Kaner Well, which leads to underground submersible irrigation farmland. Kaner does not evaporate a lot of water due to the heat and wind, so the flow is stable, ensuring self-flow irrigation. Kaner Well, as long ago as "History" has been recorded, when it is called "well canal". The existing Kaner Well in Turpan has been built since the Qing Dynasty. Today, a large area of oasis is still watered. Wudaolin Kaner Well and Wuxing Township Kaner Well are available for visit.
Overlooking the Tuha Basin from the air, you can see the strings of concave mounds on the Gobi Beach. This is Kaner Well, which is called "Kaner Well" in Xinjiang Uyghur. The Kaner Well Inheritance District shows the Uyghur culture and its ancient wisdom, and it is worth a visit.
