Shaped by millions of years of water erosion, Xinjiang's Dushanzi Grand Canyon features striking cliff formations that bear witness to Earth's ancient geological evolution. Boasting a dramatic wilderness landscape, it served as a key filming site for the hit Chinese movie Pegasus and gained global fame after being featured in the National Geographic publication.
