Anjihai Grand Canyon
Anjihai Grand Canyon has been carved over the years by the Anjihai River, which originates in the Tianshan Mountains. With nearly vertical cliffs and a valley depth of up to hundreds of meters, standing on the edge and looking down reveals several canyons converging beneath your feet, as if you were suspended high in the sky looking down at the earth. The area is defined by its colors: ochre, dark cyan, grayish-purple, and dark green rock layers interweave on the cliff walls, with red mountains, dark cliffs, green peaks, green islands, and clear water complementing each other like a colorful ribbon spread out at the foot of the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains.

Tacheng Red House Museum was a must-go place when I was in primary school. Hahahaha, I didn't take any photos or pictures at that time. More than 50 years have passed, and now there are too many changes. I now have a camera or a mobile phone to take pictures of the good times. Below is my angle of shooting the changes of the Red House. How about it? If you have time, you are welcome to check in at the Tacheng Red House Museum in my hometown.
