Tuyugou valley, Ancient oasis valley in Turpan, China
The Tuyugou Valley extends for 12 kilometers through the Flaming Mountains, featuring vineyards, fields, and a narrow connecting ravine in the landscape.
Buddhist grottoes near Tuyoq contain murals and frescos from the West Jin Dynasty period of 265-316 AD, marking the earliest cave art in Turpan.
The valley contains several Uyghur mosques predating the Sugong Minaret, with the Tuyoq Mazzar surrounded by traditional raw soil walls.
Daily taxi services to explore the valley and surrounding attractions cost between 500-800 RMB, including transportation to nearby archaeological sites.
Local Muslims consider Tuyoq a preliminary pilgrimage site before traveling to Mecca, establishing its recognition as China's secondary Mecca.
