Ucha, unique location

The mountains surround it in typical mountainous terrain
The altitude is 1760~6146 meters
The planar is horseshoe-shaped
geographical location
Ucha County is located at the junction of the southern foothills of the Gantian Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains. It is bordered by Artush City and Shufu County to the east, Aktau County to the south, and Kyrgyzstan to the northwest (410 km long).
It is precisely because Ucha County is located at the junction of the southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains, the northwest border with Kyrgyzstan, and the Pamir-India Plate and the Eurasian Plate Collision Zone, so that the new tectonic movement in this area is quite strong, which also causes frequent seismic activity.
Ucha, the scenery is beautiful

YuqiTash grassland
▼
The Yuqitashi Grassland is the highest and largest summer pasture in southern Xinjiang, and Yuqitash means "three stones" in The Kyrgyz language means "three huge peaks".
Surrounded by mountains, the Yuqitash grassland stretches like green brocade.
In the early morning, the whole pasture is shrouded in milky white mist, and the blades of grass are covered with crystal dewdrops, flowing through the streams of the grassland, bending and flowing from the snowy mountain glaciers in the distance.
As dusk fell, smoke rose from the felt room, and sheep barked. This is the summer that belongs to Yuqitash.
Red Valley Scenic Area
The Red Valley Scenic Area belongs to the Yadan landform, which is the appearance of the earth given by hundreds of millions of years of geological changes.
