The "chilly ditch" is located in a ravine 14 kilometers east of the White Stone tourist resort at Hami, east of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China. The elevation of the ditch rises from 2,200 meters to 3,000 meters from west to east. You can visit vertical landscape of forests, alpine meadows and glaciers along the ditch. Even in the hot summer season, the meltwater in the ditch remains chilly. That's why it's called "chilly ditch."
