Tuyugou Grand Canyon, the most mysterious place in the west of China , referring to little valley that can’t go through, is situated in the middle part of Flame Mountain in Shanshan County. Snow water in Tian Mountain crossing the valley carried the yellow-red soil away from the southern exist, forming a fertile alluvial plain, whose soil is suitable for growing seedless grape. Tuyugou Ditch is where grapes were first grown in China more than 2000 years ago.

Asawule Kaipeimazha in Tuyugou Ditch is one of the seven holy places for Islamism as well as the largest Islamic holy place in China .
