The Xinjiang Tourism Golden Triangle mainly refers to the region composed of Kuitun, Wusu, and Dushanzi.?
The Xinjiang Tourism Golden Triangle, also known as the Kuitun-Dushanzi-Wusu region, is located at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and the southwestern edge of the Junggar Basin. It is a collective term for Kuitun, Wusu, and Dushanzi in Xinjiang. This region is an important part of the Northern Tianshan Economic Belt and Northern Tianshan Urban Agglomeration in Xinjiang, as well as an economically vibrant area in northwest China. Due to its location in a transportation hub with obvious economic advantages and strong complementarity, the Kuitun-Dushanzi-Wusu region is praised by economists as the ‘Golden Triangle’ of Xinjiang’s economy.?
In addition to its important economic status, the Kuitun-Dushanzi-Wusu region is also rich in tourism resources. It boasts famous attractions such as the Kuitun River Grand Canyon, Wusu Mud Volcano Group, and Wusu Foshan National Forest Park, attracting a large number of tourists. Furthermore, this region is an important urban agglomeration along the Second Eurasia Continental Bridge. The future Silk Road Economic Belt and China-Europe High-Speed Railway will also pass through here, further enhancing its tourism value.?
Additionally, there is also a saying that refers to Tacun Village, the Canyon, and Bozhidun in Aksu Prefecture as the Golden Triangle of Aksu Tourism. These three scenic areas have been connected to form a tourism loop in the Tumur Area, providing tourists with a unique experience of seeing four seasons in one day and experiencing different weather conditions within a ten-mile radius.?
. However, this statement does not conflict with the mainstream perception of Kuitun, Urumqi, and Dushanzi as the Xinjiang Tourism Golden Triangle. They represent different regions and types of tourism resources and characteristics of Xinjiang.?
In summary, the Xinjiang Tourism Golden Triangle is an important region that integrates economic, tourism, transportation, and other advantages. It is a vital component of Xinjiang’s tourism industry.?
