At the beginning of March, as the weather turns warm, the Nine Curves Eighteen Turns of Tekes County, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang, begins to show the spring scenery of glistening water and melting snow and ice. The Nine Curves Eighteen Turns, located at the bottom of the Kuokesu Grand Canyon, twists and turns like a dragon moving forward. Its length from north to south is about 5,600 meters, and its width from east to west is about 2,000 meters. Nowadays, the trees and vegetation on both sides of the river are gradually reviving, showing a bit of green, and the snow-covered fresh soil is finally exposed, giving people a magical feeling of "when I left, the snowflakes in the sky were like white flowers in full bloom; now when I come back, the flowers everywhere are like a flurry of white snow".
