The Karez Well Amusement Park

　　The water in the karez wells is naturally filtered snowmelt from the Tianshan Mountains, seeping underground to form unpolluted, mineral-rich water. Regular consumption is believed to contribute to beauty and longevity. The karez wells are dug underground, which helps prevent evaporation and ensures a continuous flow of water all year round. The water is crystal clear, sweet, and refreshing. In Xinjiang, karez wells are mainly distributed in the Turpan Basin, Hami, and Mori regions, with the Turpan area having the highest concentration—over a thousand wells. If connected, they would stretch for 5,000 kilometers, leading some to call them "underground canals."

　　The Turpan Karez Well Amusement Park officially opened to domestic and international tourists on May 16, 1993. Covering an area of 7 mu (approximately 0.47 hectares), the park features murmuring streams, towering trees, and enchanting scenery. It offers a delightful escape with its long grapevine corridors, lush lawns as smooth as carpets, a uniquely styled Karez Well Research Center exhibition hall, ethnic-flavored restaurants, and guest rooms—creating a serene paradise-like atmosphere.
