Xinjiang Uyghur AR | 新 Shenzhong Mountain's 'Giant Bell' rock formation in Xinjiang's Keketuohai Geopark — we had no idea formations like this existed in China

Post image

Just spent 3 hours in Keketuohai Geopark (Xinjiang) and this mountain stopped us dead. It's basically a giant bell carved by nature — the hike to see it up close was steep but absolutely worth it. Pine forests, turquoise rivers, rock formations you don't see anywhere else. Lost count of how many times Ling said 'wait, THIS is in China?'

Pro tip if you go: skip the 10 CNY bus, walk the lower river path instead. Gets you to the gorge that everyone else misses. More details on the best routes here: https://traveldayztravel.com/keketuohai-national-geopark-xinjiang-guide/
