The renowned "Cool World" of the Fire Prefecture—Grape Valley—is located in the Flaming Mountains canyon, 13 kilometers northeast of Turpan City. This valley is a relatively shallow erosion valley, stretching 8 kilometers from north to south and about 0.5 kilometers wide from east to west, with the widest point reaching up to 2 kilometers. A small stream runs through it, and springs occasionally bubble out from crevices along the valley walls. The valley is shaded by greenery, filled with layers of grape trellises, interspersed with flowering trees and fruit trees, and dotted with scattered village houses. On the higher slopes, there are many hollow earthen structures known as "drying houses," specially designed for air-drying grapes into raisins. Grape Valley currently has 400 hectares of grape fields, primarily cultivating dozens of famous grape varieties such as seedless white grapes, horse grapes, Kashgar grapes, black grapes, Bijia dry grapes, suosuo grapes, and purple grapes. It produces 6 million kilograms of fresh grapes and over 300 tons of raisins annually. The seedless white raisins here are fresh, green, and glistening,

sweet and tangy in taste, enjoying a high reputation in the international market and known as the "Green Pearls of China." A fruit wine factory located between Grape Valley and Turpan City has introduced top-tier domestic production lines for wine brewing, storage, and bottling, as well as production lines for canned fruits such as grapes, Hami melons, and mulberries, and concentrated juice soft-packaging. It also has a large cold storage facility capable of holding thousands of tons of fruits and melons. The full-juice Turpan wines produced here are bestsellers across the country. Deep within Grape Valley, a grape-themed amusement park covering several thousand square meters has been built specifically for both domestic and international tourists. Here, shaded by dense foliage, layered with greenery, and filled with flowing springs and winding paths, sweet grapes and enchanting song and dance create a delightful and refreshing experience.
