The Snow-covered Qigu Grand Canyon in Xinjiang, China

Aerial video shows the snow-covered Qigu Grand Canyon in Hutubi county, Xinjiang province, China, March 3, 2024. Hutubi River originates from the Heyuan peak at an altitude of 5,290 meters in the eastern section of Tianshan Mountain, with high mountains standing on both sides of the valley. As the valley is located on the north slope of Tianshan Mountain, every summer, abundant rain and meltwater from many snow mountains around the source Gan Heyuan peak converge at the bottom of the valley and roar down the steep.
