scenic area, with an entrance fee of 50 RMB. It’s absolutely worth a visit, as the town has preserved its traditional charm beautifully. The mosque is stunning, local handicrafts and artworks are still made entirely by hand, and there are plenty of delicious food options to enjoy. Walking through the streets feels like stepping back in time while still experiencing a lively, vibrant atmosphere.</p><p><strong>Tuyugou Grand Canyon:</strong> Visit the Tuyugou grand canyon, it&#8217;s free of charge and definitely a beautiful place to visit. The views are amazing, and it&#8217;s very close to the town. Simply take a taxi to the canyon and enjoy the sunset. </p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t<div data-id=\"cc9a738\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t<div data-id=\"2ab918d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"/category/china/xinjiang/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Click Here For More Xinjiang Blogs</span>\n\t\t\t\t\t</span>\n\t\t\t\t\t</a>\n\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t\t\t</div>\n\t\t",
