Because the Qiuci beauties were healthy and beautiful with sweet voices, the dragons in the lake admired them so much that they had to transform into humans to go ashore and have romantic relationships with the beauties, enjoying mutual love. Over time, a group of dragon people appeared by Dalongchi.

　　They are the love crystals of Qiuci beauties and dragons. They are all tall and strong, infinitely powerful. Their voices are loud and they walk swiftly. They never took the King of Qiuci seriously. The King of Qiuci was so embarrassed and angry that he secretly introduced Turks to attack the dragon people and annihilate them.

　　Visit the [Mysterious Tianshan Grand Canyon]. Upon entering, the huge red rock walls on both sides of the canyon seem to be pressing towards you. After a while, you will feel a sudden openness, and the scene before you is much more spacious than imagined. As you gradually go deeper, the bottom of the canyon is sometimes narrow and sometimes spacious. There are even some very narrow places deep in the canyon, allowing only one or two people to pass sideways.

　　Outside the canyon, the sunlight is intense, while deep inside the canyon, it alternates between dim and bright. The sunlight seems to be playing hide-and-seek with these red rocks, sneaking in through the gaps in the canyon and shining on the rock walls. The contrast between light and dark is very strong, creating a wonderful play of light and shadow. Any photo taken casually will be a masterpiece.
