Peacock River Scenic Belt
孔雀河风景带
A riverside promenade and night-lit park along the Peacock River through central Korla, where residents stroll and visitors come for night views.
The Peacock River rises in Bosten Lake, flows past Tiemenguan (Iron Gate Pass) and through the urban area of Korla before reaching Lop Nur. Within the city, about 10 km of riverside scenic belt has walking trails, plazas, music fountains and many bridges of varied designs. At night the lights reflect on the water, making it Korla's most representative city scene. The area is free and open all day, and it is busiest from dusk until around 11 p.m. You can walk along the river to Swan River and then head to nearby night markets for grilled meat and baked buns.
