Introduction of Hotan scenic spots
Introduction of Hotan scenic spots
What do you think of when you mention Hotan? Desert? Or hetian jade stone? Hotan has become a famous city in Xinjiang and abroad not only because of its specialty! Next, I brought you an introduction to Hotan scenic spots. Welcome to read!
Elephant Trunk Hill
Out of the Wuluwati reservoir area, it is about 10 km along the west bank of Caracas, and there is an elephant trunk cave similar to Guilin Elephant Trunk Mountain across the road. Although the elephant trunk cave is earth, it is not as charming as the elephant trunk mountain in Guilin, but it is a different scene in the desert where almost no grass grows, which makes people have infinite reverie.
The rocks on the back of Elephant Trunk Mountain are as straight and steep as knives and axes, like a big curtain falling from the sky, much like Langya Mountain. Under the elephant trunk cave is the winding Ka River, which has been washed away by the river for years to form three small islands. When you carefully observe the stones on the island, many stones look like animals, such as Beijing pug, sea lion and Tibetan mastiff. Lying under the trunk, they look very comfortable, as if enjoying the bath of the trunk. On the back of the elephant trunk cave, the elephant trunk looks like an open mushroom, and it also looks like a cloud bone stone in Daxianglin, Shaoxing, Zhejiang. Although rustic, the style is still there.
Ying' airike scenic spot
Yingairike Reservoir and Desert are located in Yingairike Township, Hotan County. It is located 22km northwest of Hotan City and 5km away from National Highway 3 15 (all asphalt roads). It is an entertainment place integrating summer recreation, swimming, fishing, sand therapy and agricultural eco-tourism in summer.
The reservoir is a plain reservoir with a storage capacity of 24 million cubic meters and an average water depth of 6.5 meters. The main dam is trapezoidal, with a dam height of13m, a dam crest width of12m and a dam length of 7.4m.. The reservoir takes water from the source of Caracas River.
On the west side of the reservoir is the Ying 'airik sand dune, which constitutes the golden beach swimming area, sand therapy, desert camel tour, fishing, sand skiing and other tourist areas. There are fish ponds and gardens on both sides of the north shore outlet. The reservoir is located in the alluvial fan oasis, and the surrounding environment of the reservoir is beautiful and surrounded by oasis. Near the reservoir is a neat narrow farmland and a desert oasis. It's interesting to watch the sunrise and sunset in the desert here. Natural scenery, such as reservoirs, deserts and oases, which are close to urban areas and have good traffic conditions, attract many domestic and foreign and local tourists to come for sightseeing and summer vacation every year.
Yinglike desert
Located 22 kilometers northwest of Hotan City, it is actually a part of Taklimakan Desert. Because it is close to Hotan city, the traffic is convenient, and you can go straight to the desert hinterland by off-road vehicle. Therefore, if you want to enjoy the wonderful scenery of the desert and don't want to spend too much time on the way, Yinglike Desert is a good choice. There are endless sand dunes and jingling camel bells.
On the way to the desert, you will also pass the Yinglike Reservoir, which is a rare scene in the desert and has a huge water potential. Climbing the sand dunes in the Yinglike Desert overlooks the low-brushed water surface of green willows, and this pool of clear water adds a little vitality to the monotonous yellow sand.
Address: 22km northwest of Hotan City, Hotan District, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Caracas R.
Caracas River belongs to Hexi tributary of Hotan, which originates from the northern slope of Karakorum Mountain in the south of Hotan. It is 509 kilometers long, with an average annual runoff of 220 1 100 million cubic meters and a historical maximum flow of 1 150 cubic meters per second (1983). The river is a seasonal river, with low water in winter and autumn, water in spring and summer, and flood season from May to September.
Looking down from the dam top of Wuluwati Reservoir, the desert scenery of Kahe River is very different from what people usually see. There is almost no vegetation on both sides of such a big river, which is desolate but full of personality. Some people say that the Caracas River is the Nile River in China, looking down from the top of the dam of Uluwati Reservoir.
Niutou Mountain, a holy place of Buddhism
Niutou Mountain, or Kumar Mountain, is about 23 kilometers southwest of Hotan today. It is located on the north bank of Caracas River. The mountain is of gravel structure, with extremely steep cliffs and lush mountains. Therefore, in ancient times, there were two horns protruding from the mountain, which looked like the double horns on the bull's head, so it was called Niutou Mountain, or Niu Jiao Mountain.
In 2000, the site of the Buddhist Temple in Niutou Mountain was discovered between the Kumar Cliffs along the Caracas River. The foundation of the temple is cut on the cliff, and the stairs in the middle and the sidewalks on both sides are clearly distinguishable. Niutoushan occupies a lofty position in the minds of Buddhists in the Central Plains. The name and image of Niutoushan appear many times in Dunhuang documents and murals. Most portraits of Mount Niu Jiao are placed in the middle of the mural. Among them, Niutou Mountain in Khotan, Cave 98 and Cave 454 of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes depict the shape of a bull's head, with a hole in its head, a ladder standing at its forehead, which is connected with the hole, and there is water under the mountain, sparkling. This image is strikingly similar to the environmental characteristics of the Buddhist temple site in Niutou Mountain.
