Shashan Park is located in Shanshan County, very close to Turpan. It is the closest desert to the city in the world. Uyghur "Kumutag" means "Shashan". This is a flowing sand mountain. General tourists come here to play beach SUVs, sandboarding, etc. Shanshan County decided to hold an international sand sculpture festival in the Kumtage Desert every year from August 2004, injecting new connotations into Turpan Grape Festival. Shanshan County was once the ancient Silk Road to rush, the Western civilization left a shining page here, so, excavating and promoting Silk Road culture, through artistic means to reproduce the style of Silk Road culture, is the eternal theme of the Shamtag International Sand Sculpture Festival in Shanshan County.
