Turpan Kan'erjing Museum Review

Kaner Well is a groundwater benefit project created in the long historical development of working people in arid land. Kaner Well leads groundwater and turns the desert into an oasis, known in ancient times as the "well canal". The main principle of Kaner Well is that people seep into the ground in spring and summer, a large amount of rainwater, glaciers and snow melt water through the natural slope of the mountain, and lead the surface to irrigation to meet the demand for production and living water in desert areas. A complete Kaner well system includes four main components: shaft, dark canal (underground channel), open canal (ground channel) and miscreating (small reservoir). The flow of Kaner wells operating under this principle is stable and can guarantee the self-flow irrigation of well water. 🏛️ [Memorial Guide] ⭐ Visiting Guide: The museum is divided into ground and underground sections, including more than 100 meters of underground access, 500 square meters of ground display hall, Kaner well distribution map, profile map, grape promenade and raisin boudoir. 📍 Detailed address: Kanerjing Folk Park, No. 888, Ximen Village, Ya'er Township, Turpan City, Xinjiang 🕙 Open hours: all day ⏳ Play time: 1-2 Hours 💰 Per capita consumption: 30 yuan ／ People, military free. 👍 Most recommended: the wisdom of the working people, it is worth a visit. #Go to the museum to explore #Discover the color of the journey #Xinjiang Kaner Well

Kaner Well, which means "well hole", was recorded in the "history" as early as the "well canal", while Xinjiang Uyghur is called "Kaner Well". Kaner Well is a special irrigation system in desert areas, generally in Turpan, Xinjiang, China. Kaner Well, the Great Wall and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal are also called the three major ancient projects in China. The total number of Kaner Wells in Turpan has more than 1,100, and the total length is about 5,000 kilometers. Kaner Well is a very ancient horizontal water collection building for the development and utilization of groundwater, suitable for mountain birches, Alluvial fan margins are mainly used to intercept groundwater for irrigation and residential water use. The structure of Kaner Well is composed of four parts: shafts, underground channels, ground channels and "basin" (small reservoirs), Bogda Mountain in the north of Turpan Basin and Kat in the west. Lawucheng Mountain, a large amount of snow and rain in spring and summer, diving down the valley and into the Gobi beach. People use the slope of the mountain to cleverly create Kaner Well, which can be used to submerge the farmland. Kaner well does not evaporate a lot of water due to hot, windy wind, so the flow is stable, ensuring self-flow irrigation.

Kanerjing, and the Great Wall of Wanli, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal are also called the three major projects of ancient China, so go to Turpan and visit the Kanerjing Museum first. Tickets are 40 yuan. If you don't see it, you can understand the wisdom of the ancient working people. In such a hot and dry place, there are large oasis, and Kanerjing is indispensable. According to statistics, there are more than 1,000 Kanerjings in Xinjiang, with a total length of more than 5,000 kilometers, which is equivalent to the distance from Urumqi to Harbin. It is really shocking and amazing. Great.

进入坎儿井博物馆，我们首先聆听了讲解员关于坎儿井的历史及构造的详细介绍，观看坎儿井的沙盘模型。然后沿着暗渠，在地洞里参观那四通八达的渠道。由于坎儿井特点的限制，我们只能看到有限的一段明渠。坎儿井是吐鲁番的生命之泉，在这里我们品尝了清冽甘甜的井水，还有幸观看到世界罕见的与恐龙同时代的活化石—新疆白鲵。它以其穿越时空的神奇魅力，为人类留下极其珍贵的遗产。在这里我由衷的感到坎儿井水利工程的艰巨和伟大，深深地被凝聚着勤劳智慧的劳动人民所创造的人间奇迹所震撼。

中国古代三大工程之一，人类智慧的结晶，人类生存的倔劲，利用自然来创造人类生命奇迹的工程

新疆的坎儿井与四川都江堰、广西灵渠，被誉为中国古代三大水利工程，它将天山的地下雪水穿越戈壁，引向绿洲。全疆坎儿井最多时1784条，目前全疆有水坎儿井只剩下614条，在一些乡村仍然是灌溉、饮水和维持生态的主要水源，是吐鲁番人民的“生命之泉”。其原理是利用地形的下降趋势，由集水和输水暗渠、明渠、竖井和涝坝组成。
