From Kuqa County along the Duku (Dushanzi to Kuqa) highway, about 10 kilometers north, there is a jagged mountain body on both sides of the highway. Although it is not more than 20 meters high, the peak of the mountain is like a knife, sloping to one side, full of tension. The bottom of the mountain is hardened with white saline, which is the famous "salt water ditch". This is a free roadside attraction. When the sun goes down, the backlit mountain peaks show a golden border. The scenery is very charming, and it is a good place for Xinjiang geological tourism.
