Keketuohai Geopark is located in the northeast in Fuyun County of Altay Prefecture in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

In Kazakh, "keketuohai" means verdant forest.

Inside Keketuohai, the Taiga along the banks of the sapphire blue Irtysh River brings vitality to the Irtysh grand canyon. The waterfall-like granite canyon is a masterpiece of nature.
