Bozidun Scenic Area
博孜墩景区
The southeastern section of the Tian Shan Tomur Scenic Area. Half of it is snowy peaks and grassland, and half is Gobi and red-rock Danxia landforms, with wind-eroded gorges, salt valleys and Kyrgyz culture.
Bozidun is located in Bozidun Kyrgyz Township, Wensu County, and is one of the three main areas of the Tian Shan Tomur Scenic Area. In summer, the northern Akebulak Grassland is covered with rapeseed flowers, and you can look out toward the snowy peaks of Tomur. Fengling Valley, made up of several narrow gorges, is especially dramatic, and No. 3 Gorge is good for photography. Salt Valley shows white salt rock interlaced with red-layered gorges. The township preserves Kyrgyz culture, including the Manas epic, embroidery and yurt traditions. Entrance tickets cost about 36 yuan in peak season and 18 yuan in the off-season. The shuttle costs about 60 yuan. Only four-wheel-drive vehicles are allowed in the core area for self-driving. The drive from central Aksu takes about 2 hours. The coordinates point to Bozidun township, so please check the entrance location with navigation before setting out.
