Thousand-Li Grape Corridor
千里葡萄长廊
A green corridor formed by grape trellises above the rural roads of Hotan County. Driving or cycling through it in summer makes it a classic stop on the outskirts of Hotan.
To save farmland, farmers in Hotan County grow grapes along both sides of village roads. The vines climb steel frames over the road, forming a green tunnel stretching for dozens of kilometers, known as the 'Thousand-Li Grape Corridor'. It is most concentrated around Bagqi Township, about 12 km from Hotan City. In summer, the shade is dense, and you will often find Uyghur farmhouse courtyards, donkey carts, and fruit stalls along the roads. Around August, you can buy freshly picked grapes. The corridor is a village road and open to the public free of charge. It can be combined with Yotkan Ancient City and Walnut King Park on a car tour. When taking photos, yield to vehicles, and ask permission before entering a farmhouse courtyard.
