Scenic spot introduction:

Colorful Beach, also known as Colorful River Bank, is known as "the most beautiful Yadan landform in Xinjiang". It is located about 24 kilometers north of Burqin County and is the only way to Habahe County and Kanas. The colorful beach is full of charm, adjacent to the rippling blue waves of the Irtysh River, and contrasts with the lush and green valley scenery on the other side.

Attractions distribution:

The colorful beach has the beauty of fire (sunrise and sunset), earth (Yadan landform), gold (giant windmill), water (blue river), and wood (autumn forest in the river valley). On the wide river beach, the towering "peaks", deep "canyons", intricate "streets", and vertical "gullies" look colorful and magical in the sunset. Everything is bathed in soft light, like gods. Our heaven is blurred and illusory.
